Minutes from 7-13-10 Meeting

Attendance: Rich, Delia, Annahid, Terre, Cheryl, Patrick, Ryan, Carrie, Wendy, Holly, Sandy

I. Critique: Discussed Wendy’s rewrite of Chapter 1. Will she put the nightmare first? Discussed Ryan’s first two chapters. He nailed his character development. Carrie’s work brought on the discussion of Demon sex.

II. Learned: Rich wrote a 1917 murder mystery - Master of His Fate. We welcomed four new members and ended our meeting with a writing prompt: You open the door and …

III. For Next Meeting on August 10, 2010, 7-9 PM:

1) Members will read and critique work from Ryan and Terre and Patrick. They will send their pages to Holly and she will post them on the website.

2) Members will bring ideas, materials, and sources to every meeting.

3) We encourage everyone to bring their work. There is plenty of time and room to share.

Due to rather [insert witty comment here] weather, we have decided to move the meeting to next Tuesday (February 16th) at 7pm. While the meeting will still be held in the Bethel Park Library, we are uncertain if we will be able to meet in the same room. The Library will have signs marking the location for the meeting to prevent lost, wandering writers from succombing to the lure of shelved books.

In all, it's been quite an interesting weekend and we hope that everyone is safe, warm and ready for some motivation!

See ya Tuesday!

Welcome to the Pittsburgh South Writers Group! Today marks the official launching of the Pittsburgh Writers Group website.

Sandy and I have booked our first group meeting at Bethel Park Library on Janury 12, 2010, at 7PM. In the meantime, please feel free to browse the site, visit the forums and chat with members. I'll break the ice by posting a short story in the Critique Boutique!

If you have any ideas, comments or questions about the group, please send an email to hollypswg@gmail.com

Happy Writings!
