No problemo, Steve. You might consider that the original group schismed and grew as a consequence of the deeply unpleasant, at times threatening, behaviour of one individual. Restraint in comment would be immature, cowardly and selfish. I'll stick with gentle Mondays, and make no farther comment, if that's okay.

Ciao Steve, certo che sei il benvenuto. Ma parli italiano, no? ciao, Rossella

Hi Steve, thanks for putting that link up. I had a look at it, and I'd say that my plot structure does not follow his suggested structure one bit!

... so I'm now calling my self a literary rebel!

Hey Steve!
This looks like a great new Meetup Group! I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi an Fantasy fiction!
I'm Adam, and I'm from Meetup HQ. If you ever have any questions, you can take a look at our Help page, at http://www.meetup.com/help/ You're also more than welcome to contact me directly. Let us know how it goes! Enjoy your new Meetup Group!

hey Steve! thanks for your message! yes that cough was too annoying, I was embarrassed so i left, i didn't want to spoil peoples readings! I'm sorry! I hope you are feeling better! Could you tell me what the theme is for the next meeting please? x

Hi Steve! It's Nancy here from Canada. I attended my first Writer's meeting in early Feb. at the Waverley Pub. You and I chatted about our travels and how alike our glasses looked. I learned the group focuses only on writing and nothing about publishing to get our writing out there to be read. I do need an editor for my book. You struck me as a possible strong candidate based on your answers at my first meeting. Would you be interested in editing? I look forward to hearing from you.

Do you take chocolate to every event, Steve? Can I put in a request for some mint Yoyos, or Waggon Wheels ...I'm a traditionalist...
-Tone.

Hey there Steve... I'm guessing it'll still be the Waverley. Well, I'll be at the Waverley anyway, so if anyone wants to avoid me they can go somewhere else! To Upstairs, and beyond!
