Awww. :( Is that why you called the other day (but left no mssg)? I would've answered but I was busy feedin' the missionaries. :D Anyway, a migraine buys you a free pass, I'd say. I hope you make it this week, though!

I thought we had moved Jeff to speculists? Because scribblers is on Tuesdays and early in the week was bad for him? If Jeff would rather go to scribblers, that's fine, but then I need to change the schedule.

So we back on schedule for next week?  E is next?

And George is apparently catching cosmic karma as his house had been flooded again.  Apparently one 10 year old child knocking a rag into a sink and leaving the water on all night will destroy walls and ceilings.  He's going to do his best to still be there next week but wanted me to let folks know.

I will be there.  Kris may or may not at this point, I'll know for sure a bit later.

As far as I know we're on schedule. It depends on whether SE has something for next week.

Oh, poor George!! That's horrible. :(

SE, do you have something? If not, I wonder if I might do some revision and addition and submit that ch again. Or I could submit the next one...

Ok. There's issues.

It seems that the number of submission producing members is dropping off. SE has to bow out for a little while and attendance in both groups have been less than stellar.

The people who have most consistent submissions/attendance are:

Nessa
Shrain
Jena/Kris
Hannah

I say we have our own group, and whoever else wants to join needs to come for at least two meetings and plan on having a submission ready once a month. Otherwise, me being the schedule-goddess, I keep you off the schedule for submissions.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but the groups have been suffering this frustration for a while now and it's time to nip it in the bud. There are some of us who seriously want to get our stuff reviewed and this is frustrating our efforts.

I need feedback ASAP.

By the way, SE isn't submitting for Scribbers tomorrow. George and then Jena then Shrain. Who can submit?

I know George has a piece done.  He finished it a couple weeks ago to make sure he was ready.  Even with a flooded house we should be able to critique it.  I'll poke him and get it sent out today.

I'll be ready for next week, but tomorrow is my birthday so I don't have to be critiqued.  :P  Tomorrow I'm perfect...then it goes away.

Tomorrow's your BIRTHDAY?! Sweet! Go, Jena!

And, yes, George has something ready. He sent it to me, but I don't think anyone else got it.

As for booting out the slackers, I am all for it. The inconsistency has been quite the pain. :P

Ok, George is on the list, too. So five people, as long as Hannah wants to do it. (And to Hannah: you'll like Jena and Shrain...so don't be worried about that.)

I would prefer to have us meet on Wednesdays. If that's OK with the rest of you.

George: You can email me the submission, too? I'm not sure if I can come (church activities and etc) but I'll try. I can send comments if you'd like.

Shifting to Wed is okey dokey with me.

Oh, and how about we rethink our group's name, eh? I'll let y'all in on a secret... I was never exactly wild about "Ardent Scribblers."

Sarah can't do Thurdays, so we're for sure not doing that day.

Sarah: We can come up with a new name and begin a new thread with it as the title. This one is getting pretty long.

So, how did tonight's meeting go?

Nessa- you are the schedule goddess.

I am interested in joining.  Wednesdays work best for me right now.  However, I am finding that being the boss at work doesn't mean you get more free time.  I have to cover Wednesday nights if the people who are scheduled don't show up. This Wednesday night is one of those nights.  So I can't make it tomorrow.  I should be able to after this week.  (I should be getting a pay raise for this, right?)
