Red Hot Writers

Dear Shell,

Tonight was the first meeting of the Flint Red Hot Writers. We gathered at a bookstore that appears to be a central location for most of the members of the group. We set up in the cafe of the bookstore, which unfortunately serves Starbucks coffee, but they have other drinks as well so I will most likely stick with those in the future.

Our first meeting went well. We had four of the members show up. We got the introductions out of the way, discussed how we felt the meeting should go, then got right into critiques for two of the members. Both stories were well written and captured our attention.

I did not have anything to share for our first meeting. Well, technically I could have shared. I had one copy of the first 12 pages of my novel. But due to printer issues at home and printer ink issues at my mom's, I was unable to make enough copies to share with the whole group. I will have copies for our next meeting though.

It felt great to get out and meet new people who have a common interest. I came home and felt very upbeat and ready to jump into writing more on my novel tonight.


Get the red pen ready,
Shell
