And so it begins...

Yay! We finally had the first meeting of our writing group! I have to say, it was pretty great. An excellent turnout, met some new people, and felt a little smarter.

Since some people are far away, some may be busy, and some may just be lazy, I thought I'd make this site for writing group related things...or other stuff if you'd like.
We could use it to post info about meetings (insteading dozens of emails with updates, we could just update one blog post), stuff you've written that you'd like to share (PLEASE?), events you think others would want to attend, etc. If you think this is lame, shut up. This is awesome.

Anyway, let's get back to our first meeting. Thanks to everyone who came and to Kat for finding those readings which included some haiku.

I happen to hate haiku. I find them boring and weird. I will admit though, going over them with the group made them a bit more interesting. I still hate them though. But, for whatever reason, I decided to give myself a haiku writing assignment. Here we go:

Trees see Fall's ending.
Stripping naked, they shed leaves,
wait for snow showers.

Whaddya think? Am I going to give Basho a run for his money?

Finally, the next meeting will probably be February 10th. In the meantime, enjoy the Super Bowl!
