At writing group last night he was dispairing that he wouldn't have anything ready for next week's AS1 meeting. I suspect he wasn't paying attention and doesn't have anything.

And seeing as how I'm not in charge of this group... eh. That's never stopped me.

It probably wouldn't hurt that if anyone had something short to submit this afternoon, there would be time to look over it before the meeting, but someone would need to take the initiative. I would submit my own chapters (since you recently went over chapters 1-3), but I won't be able to come tonight. I have rocks to shovel. Ye-hah.

Well, Nessa, I guess you, Jena, and I are the only ones bemoaning the lack of a submission this night.... Alas and alack! So have your fun shoveling pebbles around. (Did you know I used to *sell* gravel? Boulders, flagstone, rock signs, etc. Working at a rock yard is tuff. I got to drive a forklift!)

I sure hope this group isn't piddling out. Come on guys! And gals! Get your collective acts together and participate. Or care, at least. This includes you, too, SE. You could at least let us know what's going on.

As for rocks, they are all shoveled out. Some blockhead who owned the house before us used them as mulch. I also shoveled and pulled out the old pipes for the sprinklers, which I'm going to re-do. Ah the joys *cough* of gardening. All this prep-work just to plant a few things. Sheesh.

Kris, George and I were all around last night, but no sub meant we didn't do much.  George will have something ready for the 21st, and reports that the house now has carpet again and all is well...save for all the money gone.

I'm scheduled for 2 weeks from now and ready.

Jeffe?  Are we gonna see something for next week?  Or SE?  If neither of you can, then I'll submit again next week and we'll rotate between Shrain, George, Nessa and I until ya'll are back inta the swing.  I don't want this group to die!

I can for sure come next week (my husband is working overnight that night, so can't complain that I'm monopolizing the computer). So, if Jeffe can't submit, I can. And it's all ready to go and everything.  ;D

I *was* online thursday, incidentally. Anyone who wanted to berate me in person was free to do so. I spent most of the time talking to stacer about character concepts for D&D.

this because I'm not into my story. Also, don't know how to get back into it. Also, not sure how to plan the next one so this doesn't happen again.

Note the changed schedule. Ardent Scribblers will now be meeting on Tuesdays.

If there are problems, let me know.

How did group go tonight? My class went rather well except for the fact that I still wasn't feeling so great.
