15 NOVEMBER MEETING NOTES

Eleven people attended: Burt (read three chapters from a new memoir Jocks), Casey, Elena, JoAnne, Jonathan (read the conclusion of “Piccolo’s,” a short story), Lance (read a chapter from South), Marcia, Richard, Rosie, Shari and Stace.

News & Notes

Our annual holiday party is scheduled for 7PM on 13 December at Shari’s house in Fountain Valley. Shari distributed maps during the meeting, and a food sign-up list went around; both of these should return next meeting.

Reminder: our craft-related reading selection this fall and winter is James Scott Bell’s Plot & Structure. Please read the assigned chapters and be ready to discuss the material. The schedule for the rest of the discussions is as follows:

• 29 Nov – Chp. 7-9 (Richard & Marcia) (change)
• 31 Jan – Chp. 10-12 (Casey) (change)
• 28 Feb – Chp. 13-14, Appendix B (Jonathan)

Please note: for the next discussion session (29 Nov), Richard & Marcia ask everyone to come prepared to discuss how the reading will help us in our critiques.

Lance created a Facebook author’s page. If any other members also have author pages (not FB profiles), let him know and we can link to them on the PFL site as we do blogs and Twitter feeds.
