Yesterday's Meeting

It was nice to see everyone again. 

Six die-hard members showed up.  Our newest member, Sara, brought the first of many pages of her grandparent's memories that she has written down.  It is a good start for her. 

We talked about the different approaches that Fred could take in his book.  There are three or four different ways to get the readers hooked. 

I took a photo of Jomana and Joanie to use in the Wheeling News-Register  Writers  Digest article that Rich submitted.  Should be in the paper sometime this next week.

Fred is supposed to bring a synopsis of his book to our next meeting.  We had a discussion of just how long a synopsis should be.  According to one article in a writer's magazine, it can be from 2 to 10 pages.

Rich is on the radio tonight at 7:00 pm on WKKX 1600 on a program called "Whispers".  It can also be found streamed live on the internet at http://www.wkkx.com/.

I'm writing this from the basement of the library watching Andy set up for his talk at "Lunch with Books" today.
