Nov 23rd Novel Group MeetingFor those of you looking to join the Novel Group, now’s a great time. Eric Lanke has a historical fiction novel set during the American Civil War up for review. Due to word-count constraints, on Monday, November 23 at 6:30 in the Wauwatosa Library’s Conference Room, we will be officially reviewing the ODD CHAPTERS of the beginning section of Columbia, found at: http://www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/story/columbia-beginning. After reading Chapters 1 and 3, write down your initial thoughts in the first page of the critique sheet, found at: http://www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/story/new-novel-critique-sheets (use Part 1 – The Beginning). Then, after reading Chapters 5, 7 & 9, complete the critique sheet and bring it to the session for discussion. The odd chapters total 27K words. You are more than welcome to read all the chapters (85K words) and Eric would very much like to hear what you think about all of it, but we are only going to critique the odd chapters. If you have any questions about this assignment or about the Novel Group in general, email me at plafferty@wi.rr.com.
Nov 9th Novel Group MeetingIf you’ve completed a novel, are in the middle of a novel, hope to one day start a novel or if you have no delusions whatsoever that you will ever write a novel but you love to read and discuss plot, character and pacing, then consider yourself invited to the next MWW Novel Group meeting. Our next session will be 6:30, Monday, November 9th at the Wauwatosa Library’s Conference Room. We'll review the third and final section of Gryphon song which you should be able to access from this link: http://www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/story/gryphon-song-part-3. And, you should be able to access the critique sheets from this link: http://www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/story/new-novel-critique-sheets (use Part 3 - The End). If these links don’t work for whatever reason, go to the Current Stories button in the upper left and click Gryphon Song Part 3 at the top of the list and New Novel Critique Sheets at the bottom of the list. After this meeting we'll be reading a lenghty piece of historical fiction from Eric Lanke...yes, THAT Eric Lanke...who read a few pages of his book at the Fixx Coffee House last Thursday. Hope to see you there.

MWW: Co-Working SessionTime: 6PM to close What is Co-Working? Co-working is an idea started within the tech community to bring designers, programmers, and developers together in a shared space to work on projects. For us writers, it's the same idea: bring a project you're working on, thinking about working, or whatever else you've got going on, and we'll all gather together to discuss, work, and support. With NaNoWriMo (www.nanowrimo.org) coming up in less than a week, we'll be focusing on some planning for everyone's novels.
