Not
that I'm late or anything... but, I'm late! That's what happens when
you turn 70 just after the meeting and spend your birthday the
following week in the Florida Keys.
Let's
see if I remember what happened on the night of November 21st. Oh,
yes, it was a great meeting! We
decided to hold our Christmas party on December 19th,
everyone is invited, spouses and whoever you'd like to bring. No,
Joanne, you don't have to bring anyone if you don't feel like it!
Everyone will bring something they'd like to share with the group,
doughnuts, cupcakes, whatever. Anything left over will be donated to
the Nokomis Volunteer Fire department. Kerri has again graciously
volunteered to bring the Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
I'm
cheating here, but I know Russ Heitz started with an address from Ed
Lyman to the Fiction Writer's group. Joanne read chapter 26 of her
saga, Memoirs of a Sea Hag, Kerri followed with a rare (for her) poem
that floored everyone, followed by a Thanksgiving poem about aunt
Elsie's farm by Don Westerfield. Don also read a piece about a
monkey flying an airplane, which was received with just a little
skepticism, but everyone found entertaining. Jim Kelly blew everyone
away again with Anna Lee and Pee Wee's Nest.
I'd like to post every one of Jim's poems, but you need to buy his
next book!
Cathy
Marine had everyone with her as she toured South America with her
Pisco Sours, and Ed
Ellis had everyone's attention with Asymmetrical Wars.
A
discussion about what we would like to see and hear at future
meetings followed. More information and insight into publishing in today's world will be on tap after the first of the year. We finished for
the evening and wrapped up on schedule.
