Writing Meeting Tomorrow night at Dragon Art

I am excited to create a new writing group. I really miss my friends from past groups when we lived in Sheridan. I am hoping the new group can get me motivated and producing more books. I think the accountability of belonging to a writing group is what I really need to be successful. This group has only been meeting a few weeks and I have already finished one book and am working on at least seven other projects. I really needed the jump start. The meeting starts at 5:30 or 6. It is a pot luck for snacks, if you like to munch while you write. (We usually get them out after the first hour, when we switch to work time.) We are asking for a $5. donation to attend. This goes towards books, the space, and maybe we will decide to sponsor a fall writing contest for kids? It's a donation, of course you can attend if you don't have five dollars. Don't let that be the reason you stay away. We are looking for a few more writers or illustrators to join us.

The first hour: we share writing/illustrating news, do some prompts, critique work, share goals, etc. Then we break up to work on individual projects, unless someone is close to being finished then we could be having an editing session to help them find any mistakes before sending it out, or self publishing.
