On Strekier Hair - aka, Katherine Raisor
haha, giggle

Howdy everyone! I am still around, not writing much but thinking of entering the Green River Writers contest. Saw the CCW sponsored a catagory. Missing you all.

McK's anyone tomorrow?

“I dislike endless ‘laundry list’ character descriptions. For example: ‘She had eyes the color of a summer sky and long blonde hair that fell in ringlets past her shoulders. Her petite nose was the perfect size for her heart-shaped face. Her azure dress—with the empire waist and long, tight sleeves—sported tiny pearl buttons down the bodice. Ivory lace peeked out of the hem in front, blah, blah.’ Who cares! Work it into the story.”
—Laurie McLean, Larsen-Pomada Literary Agents

I can't make it this Saturday morning.

Just a reminder of our meeting on Friday.

I may be a few minutes late but I intend to be there.

We are meeting this Thursday night at 7 pm. The venue is changed due to conflicts with a play this weekend. It will be at Andriot's down the street from the Theater on the other side of the road. The address is 718 Main Street Shelbyville, KY 40065. There is parking in the lot too. Clarence will be there a little early to keep an eye out for us and brew a pot of coffee. I hope to see you all there.

I will be there, thought some of you might want to be there, too!

Good meeting last night. Hopefully I can stay on target.

Gary informed me that he has a previous engagement this Thursday so we can not use the Theater for our meeting. So we will be meeting at our alternate spot Andriot's down the street from the Theater on the other side of the road. The address is 718 Main Street Shelbyville, KY 40065. There is parking in the lot too. We have Clarence to thank for this place which was wonderful to meet at last time. I hope to see you all there.

A writer/friend posted this on facebook, thought maybe someone might be interested in going:

Happy writing,

May not make it to the meeting tonight. Not sure if I'm getting sick or having major allergy attack. Either way...

Meeting is this Thursday at 7. We've changed to the 1st and the 3rd Thursdays of the month. And we're back to the Theatre too.
