Uh, whoops! Sorry I left you off the list. If you can meet on Thursdays at 7pm MST, then I'm sure you're welcome to join. (Unless SE says otherwise for reasons unknown to me! I must defer to the Powers That Be, after all.)

I'm guessing they'll be around 1 hr, based on the other group's meetings.

They usually last an hour (that's about the time SE starts losing interest and wanders off), depending on how much there is to cover, or how bad your story is. So when you submit stuff for comments, make sure it's short enough to cover in an hour--usually about 30 pages, give or take.

Only to get ice cream!
My distractedness simply becomes more evident after an hour. I'm very ADD. I do read everythign, I just get less vocal as time goes on.

Haha. SE's comments are always helpful, even when he and MoD are arguing. Only don't expect him to last beyond an hour. That's just how he is. Plus it gets too close to his bedtime.

Ice cream and sleep. The two most absolute necessities, of course. So I can't fault SE for either of them. lol.

Yep, we'll try to keep it to an hour and everyone should submit 30 or less. Hey, shouldn't we exchange emails via PMs here pretty soon? Also, it seems like some of our members don't check TWG that often (since some haven't posted in a while). Kind of worries me, actually. But, anyhow, email addresses are a must. SE's is public, of course. Most of ours aren't, though. So let's email swap.

Well, if no one else is up for it; I'd be willing to submit the first couple chapters of Krystal Unbalanced for the March 9th meeting.  I'll email it off to everybody sometime late this Saturday if that's acceptable (figure a week is plenty of time for people to have a chance to look at it).  It's not especially long (my chapters tend to be a couple thousand words long) so if someone else wants to submit something else as well that'd probably be fine.

I don't have any problems with people knowing my email.  My MSN is [email protected] and my regular email (for sending submissions to) is [email protected]

Robert, that sounds fine. Why not submit the first 30 pages or so, however many chapters that is. I think if we get it by this Sat, we'll be fine for a Mar. 9th kick-off. If no one objects, then we can shoot for that.

Hey, what's Lightning's real name anyhow? It's not on the Introduce Yourself thread, and I don't think I've ever come across it elsewhere. I know everyone else's, but realized I didn't know his.

Do we want to at least briefly get together tomorrow for the sake of making sure that everyone can get on IM and doing basic meet and greet stuff?  That way for the next meeting we can focus in quickly on the writing work having already worked through any technical issues or such.

Thoughts?
