/me blushes.

Sorry, Nessa. My brain is being split in so many directions. I've just not been able to apply my creativity to this--yet. So now, this very morning, I shall do my best to think of something.

Edit: Okay, here are my musings on possible names:

Ink Hounds
Quarrelsome Quillers
Quill & Query Consortium
Type & Gripe, Ink.

...more to come.

Just saving the best for last. ;) Yeah, that was my favorite too, with Quill & Query Consortium being the runner up.

/me has a blonde moment.

I showed up tonight for group, wondering where everybody was. Heh. Then the fact dawned on me that we moved group to Wed. :P Dumb me.

Oh, but I didn't mean "blonde" in terms of hair color. Nah. I'm talking about these now extinct little critters with straw-colored hair who kept getting lost in their own underground lairs. Oh, and they never remembered what day it was and so they forgot to go out and get groceries. Hence the extinction. A pity, really. They were such cute animals.

You are most welcome SE. I think your hair (what you have of it) could use a dose of color. ;)

Gak! I completely forgot to address the group name again at tonight's meeting. Please, everyone submit a suggestion or vote so we can get this out of the way.

I thought tonight's meeting on Hannah's piece went well and she got a ton of comments (the Word file I have of the conversation is 17 pages long!). I'm just hoping she doesn't feel overwhelmed.

Next up: Mine on November 8th. SE, will you be able to come? I'll send out the submission the week of the meeting. If you can, read the remainder of the chapters I sent earlier. It will help to know the backstory when we comment on the chapters. Thanks!

I don't work on Wednesday, but I expect to be drop dead exhausted by then. So... if I don't show up, don't call. I'll coment separately.

Nessa, dear Nessa.... I'm pretty sick, and I don't know if I'll be able to read all your stuff before tomorrow night. I've got a take-home test to do before Thur, too. See, Gemm was kind enough to pass along his germs to me at "Twiggy" this weekend. On the plane, I totally conked out. This morning, I had to email my boss and stay home. I slept for a crazy long time--16 hours! :P

Oh how I wish I had signed up for that free flu shot at work last week. *whimper*

P.S. I put in my vote for Type & Gripe, Ink.

/me gets in bed and hopes to make it to work tomorrow.

Good thing we're not going over my stuff until next week, then, huh?

Okay, where did that dratted schedule go... Ah, that's right. We skipped this week because of me--my trip that is and heavy schedule. Again I say: baaaaa.

Yes, Shrain, you get yourself better and don't worry your curly red head about writer's group this week. And then next week we can have you back in mind as well as in body.  ;D
