Meeting on 11/12 not 11/5

In my zeal for all things writing-related, I mistakenly wrote that the group will meet tomorrow (11/5) when tomorrow is only the first Thursday of the month and we should be meeting on 11/12.  Hopefully you'll get this before you make plans, but have an extra week on me in the meantime.  I fixed the last post so it reflects this date.  Sorry for the confusion.

Your loving,

AWGOWC

November is NANOWRIMO!

We're an abbreviated writing group, which means we don't read long forms simply because it takes a long time to critique and read properly.  However, so no one thinks we don't love the novel at the AWGOWC, I'm attaching this link to National Novel Writing Month or NANOWRIMO, as the kids say.  I'm making a half-hearted attempt at trying it this time with a work in progress, which is probably cheating, but we're not much for rules.  Give it a shot.

Color me...late with this post

This week's assignment will be to write a short piece/poem/proem on a color, using N. Scott Momaday's "The Colors of Night" essayistic prose poem as a guide.  The work itself does not specifically mention a color but tries to evoke the feeling of color.  Here is a link to one of the parts, "White," from Momaday's poem.  See you on Thursday (11/12).
