December 19, 2012



Notes from December 19 meeting.
Next meeting, January 2, 2012

Well, personally, I liked the meeting. Okay, Nancy and Dawn walked in an hour late, but that didn't spoil our fun. Also, I'm not really certain, but I think we got a new member last night. Brimstone the Dragon joined us and sat on the centerpiece in the middle of the table as befitting his stature as chief intimidator.

Dave brought two chapters from his work "Why It Is Hot This Summer". I thought that the way Fox News described the event was classic. But why won't the anomalies affect the coastlines? Stay tuned. Dave will let us know when he's good and ready. Lucio brought chapter 3 of "Powered". While it's interesting, I still can't tell if it's tongue-in-cheek because it sure seems that way. Every town has its own superhero? Classic. Dude, we'll read. You write. Dawn brought in Chapter 7 from "Stormborn". I love her prose and love her protagonists. While she called this chapter "transitional" that didn't mean she didn't write it well. Girl? Same advice. You write, we'll read. Nancy brought in the latest chapter on Cass's struggles in World War I - era Corona, California. I didn't get a chance to read it, but I brought home a copy of it, so i will. But Nancy? I still love Cass and I think you're telling a terrific story. Cat, Miss TLD, brought in her latest from The Legion and steadfastly defended the ending of her work. If you can't defend your own story, who can? Girl? Nicely done. I yield. Cassaundra brought in what she described as the start of a novel. It's a very good start to a very good mystery. Or, how would YOU react if you woke up in a strange room with bandages all over you? Nicely done, girl.

And me? I'M DONE with Suffer The Children. The reaction was fairly split between people like Dawn who thought the kids were going to suffer for what had happened to them way beyond what I described in the ending and those like Cat and Cassaundra who liked it. Either way, I'm going to re-read the last few chapters and make a decision on an ending. THANKS, FOLKS!

My next project is "The Lambs Lay Down".

See you on the 2nd! See you in the New Year!

Unless, of course, the Mayans were right about tomorrow.
