Next meeting: Monday June 21

We’re carrying over the assignment from this week, since almost NO ONE showed up. I’ll take it personally if that happens on June 21!

Got a complaint about the schedule? Show up and tell us. Otherwise, hold your water.

Assignment:

We’ll meet at Café Caturra on Pump Road @ 7:30pm – wine, food, coffee, none of the above, all of the above. Your pick.

The exercise: a springboard off of the writer’s-block discussion. To wit, let’s experiment with genre-bending.

If you write non-fiction most of the time, bring us a short story, or the outline for one.

If you write more fiction than non-, bring us a 300-500 essay or profile piece.

And let us know if the genre-bender gave you blockage, or freed up flow.

As lagniappe (for you, for us, your choice ;>), take a run at an exercise from one of my favorite mystery writers, Randy Wayne White: write either

• the dust-jacket copy for your about-to-be-published book
• the 10-years-from-today About the Author copy for your upcoming book (assume you’ve published at least one book before this one)

See you on Monday the 21st!
