Third Thursday Review

We had a very productive meeting last night. We opened and closed with discussions on writing and managed all our critiques in between.

  1. We discussed how to write good dialogue. My notes on that will be posted in an upcoming blog.
  2. We reviewed works by Bill, Billy, Crystal, and Zack. One poem, one satire, one fantasy, one sci-fi. We even used some of our opening discussion during this portion of the meeting.
  3. Kay discussed our upcoming publication for The Chronicle Book Fair. It will be scaled back in scope, submissions are still limited to 10 pages, and may be from anytime in the last five years, but they must have been workshopped by the group at some point.
  4. We finished up by discussing how to pick the right writers conference for you. I will also turn this impromptu topic into a future post.

All in all, I was impressed with last night's results. Let's keep up the good work! See you in three weeks...

Next meeting: August 5th, Holden Room, Crandall Library, Glens Falls
