Lakewood Literary Club - My First Meeting

Just a quick shout out to everyone.  Yesterday I attended my first meeting at the Lakewood Literary Club.  Everyone there is so passionate about writing.  And so nice!  It’s a bit of a drive, (42 minutes!) but well worth it.  Nearly a three hour meeting!  Mostly uninformed, I packed some food for sustenance, but there was a whole spread waiting for me.  Wine too.  No one carded me (I don’t look my 25 years).

I came in expecting I would enjoy myself.  I left glowing, and determined to go to every meeting I can.  Human contact with people who share my interests, truly a wonderful thing.


Another plus – now I have deadlines for The Land of Four Seasons.  While the first draft is some 21,000 words, it needs expanding.  I’m aiming for 50,000 words at least.  This is my summer project.  Ambitious, I know.  As usual I’ve neglected my writing in lieu of reading as much as I can without permanently bonding to my chair.  Now that I plan to regularly read excerpts from LoFS, I need to get going!
