QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:
"Feeling a slight pull at the navel of her core."
-Alyssa Shrout
WRITING TIP from Jo Wilkins:
When you feel the need to use an adverb to strengthen your dialogue, don’t add them to the tag, put them into the actual dialogue. Bad example: “It will be all right,” she said hopefully. Good example: “Hopefully, it will be all right,” she said.
UPCOMING MEETINGS:
Our next weekly meeting is at 6:30 on April 29th at the Coffee House on Water Street in Henderson. Come a few minutes early if you'd like to order food and mingle before the meeting starts.

Check them out, leave a comment, share the links, and get some inspiration for ways you can build your own platform for your book!
CALENDAR: Note that since April has 5 Mondays we will meet at the Coffee House twice in a row (April 29th and May 6th), rather than alternating between the Las Vegas and Henderson locations as we normally do:
