Introduction

A friend pointed out to me that I still had the tough winter post up, and here we are almost to next winter. I've taken a step back from writing the past month. Need to get back into it again.

What sort of stories do you write? And if you have anything published, tell us about it (even if it's not SF.) We love to hear about all your successes.

I write SF, Fantasy, Horror, Spec. Historical Fiction -- so far.

What brings you to the SF Writers Meetup? Is there anything that you hope the group will do for you?

I just like hanging out with youse guys and gals.

What Ricky E Foos is saying about this Meetup Group

AMC at Southdale can be confusing because of all the theatres and the different lines for getting tickets and gaining entry to the theatre.

Nanorimo (or however it is spelled).

"I haven't seen anyone commenting on Nano Ri Mo this year. Anyone participating? I haven't gotten involved with this in the past, but this year I decided it was time to bring out a fantasy novel that I'd only written the first chapter of...."
