I think it would be inappropriate to steal one, yes. There are only 4 or 5 that show up regularly at this point. But I'm sure there's no problem with dual membership (at least I hope not, that's what I do).

There's a meeting scheduled for tomorrow--SE's turn. Do you still want to do it?

DOH! totally wasn't thinking. We finished draft 1 of Heir of Ungrith, right? How about I break and do a short. Who's going to be there?

Yes, we finished draft 1.

Probably just me.

Let's put it off for a week until I can get Stephanie targetted with the NMDU then.

Also, I've talked to my sister (acclaimed, award-winning poet) and she may be interested in joining.

I am coming forthwith upon the completion of a short story I've been working on for a week or so now. I am wishing to be a part of this meeting that coordinates commentary and other useful belongings.

How do I shot web? er, I mean, how can I become a part of this?

SE: It's ok with me! (My prose could use some comments--and a poet would be a good resource).

Gemm: It's OK with me (SE? thoughts?). Usually we meet Tuesday nights (3x a month) at 7pm MST, instant messaging. New people have to attend 2+ times before they can submit (so we don't waste our time comments on people's stuff who won't stick around).

Here's the schedule. (Which, of course, is subject to change if we have new blood join.)

What is this mountain time? How do I adjust for eastern seaboard? 2 hours? 1? I usually have to leave for work at 9 pm if I'm walking.

If you're on EST it would be 9pm. Hrm. That might be a problem if you have to leave for work. Earlier is hard for me because it's getting into dinnertime/bathtime.

It doesn't look like it will work out. Sorry.

Would you hate me too much, SE, if I said I might not be able to attend AS on the 18th?  :-[ It turns out I have a double-booking and the easiest thing to change is AS. We can do it next Wednesday or Friday or wait until the next week (the 25th)....or something. Or you can scream and rant (not preferred) until I feel guilty and blow off my new book club group at its first meeting.

do they always meet on Tuesdays? Also, it depends on whether Stephanie will be there. My sister already told me she would, but she's having trouble registering on TWG for some reason.

Yeah, it's scheduled for a Tuesday and we usually meet on a Tuesday, but I offered to meet another day the same week, if you wanted.

As for Stephanie, I think she's still out of state. I can hardly get the chick to email me. I think she's busy, at least this week. You'll have to ask her (she hasn't replied much to me, I still haven't gotten comments on my last submission).

Oh. I don't know. Probably. But I don't think it's every month. And I would have scheduled AS differently if I had known their schedule....but I didn't know it until this past Sunday (it's one of those new Enrichment groups, so they aren't particularly organized yet).

Perhaps we can meet either a half hour early, or we can limit the meeting to 30 minutes. In the future, I will know the book group schedule and will schedule AS so they won't interfere with each other.
