As long as I know at least 2 other people will be there, I'll show up.

Or so he says... lol. At least with his piece up for review, he'll probably remember. ;)

Nessa's coming! yay. :D

In a muuuch earlier thread...like page 9 of 9, stacer posted a link to http://www.rickwalton.com/writers/critique.htm.  I wandered there today and this is a great resource for critiquing, both for those of us that have been in writing groups before and those that are new to the process.  It looked like it was worth a repost with a second group getting underway.

Ex-cellent. I think I'll have to go to Hannaford and get some Fudge Tracks. Low fat, of course. That way I can eat twice as much. ;)

To prove that I am obsessive compulsive, here's an ugly, but usable, schedule.

Just for Izzy. Because we love her.

Make sure to bookmark it. I will update it weekly. If Shrain so desires, she can email me a month or two of meeting dates/submitters and I'll add it.

Yeah, sounds great . . . but we'll have to set up a submission rotation first! hehe. We got off to a rocky start, what with e's absence and all. Plus, we got carried away with Robert's story, so we didn't set one up. But I'd like to go next after Jena, if that's okay with everyone. Then maybe Fastor, since Izzy's just had a baby. And then Izzy.

Jena
Shrain
Fastor

(Lightning? Probably not, since his work schedule is changing, I think)

Ok. Updated.

As for Izzy, she hasn't even submitted to the AS group, so she may not for your group. Likely not time to write, with the little ones and all. But if she does decide to submit, she'll tell us, and we'll fit her in wherever she wants.

The calendar looks awesome!!

Yeah, I'm more a reader than a writer. I will do my best to be there tomorrow.

I can set up an app that will automatically tell us who is who and probably send out an email if you just tell me where you want it.

Oh, yeah. I kinda forgot about that stipulation... I was getting all wrapped up in the hunt for my alter ego (which Tink seems to have won, beating out the ninja monkeys for the win. lol).

Thank you for the schedule.  That's very helpful and appreciated.  :)  The app for reminders could be way cool too.

I was also thinking, looking at that list of folks involved, if we could do an updated distribution list with the emails everyone wants subs sent to?  I know my list doesn't have everyone on it and I don't want to miss folks when I'm ready to send out.

Umm...e, is there a reason you haven't sent me your submission? Also, like Jena I need everyone's e-mail, since I only have some of them. Lightning said that he would be able to come to around half of the meetings. Other than that I'm fine with everything, but consider this an early warning; based on the way our computers have been behaving lately there is a small (really small) chance that they all might die and I won't be able to submit. But like I said, it probably won't happen. Nessa, the calendar is awesome! :)
