Our November meetup will be primarily a general discussion meetup.

Topic: The Novel - getting ideas, sustaining them beyond the first flush of excitement. Maintaining wordcount over time. Work habits for success.
As Nanowrimo is upon us, let's think in terms of wordcount and good writing habits. How do you stay focused? Read more

What members are saying

 I wish I could attend more frequently, but I've enjoyed the few I've been able to attend. 

 I enjoy meetup groups. Kim seems to find them particularly cool, as she organizes so many. Again, I like meeting people with similiar interests, and social chatting. ...

      “Long ago, I tried my hand at NaNoWriMo. Then I wandered off and started a small press. Now I spend so much time editing and working on other peope's stuff, I haven't given myself any room to work on my own. Looking to rub braincells near new people.”

      “Jimmy, I also am interested in producing SF films. I have a scientific theory that I would like to present to the scientififc community and I believe that a SF approach would be the most paletable way. I am interested in working with you on your endeavor and would like to hear more about your plans. Victor”

      “I enjoy writing science fiction as a medium for discussing good vs. evil, and truth vs. error. My characters exhibit an interesting combination of virtues and frailties. I can welcome and offer constructive criticism and discussion. Thank you!”

      “I've been working on a novel for ages and can't seem to get the inspiration to finish. Hopefully with the influence of others, I can finally produce my work to the quality it deserves.”
