ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Westside meeting is this Wednesday (tomorrow) at Skinny Dugans.
Next week's meeting will be at the Coffee Shop. We'll hear six readers share their first chapters (or as much of their first chapters as they can fit into 10 minutes).
One of the attendees at our last conference (Jeff Garvin) just signed with agent Rachel Ekstrom, whom he met at the conference.
There is a publicity meeting this Thrursday at Tina's house. If you are interested in being involved please attend. Email Gregory (gregory [at] kompes [dot] com) or one of the other officers for the address.
BRAGS:
Congratulations to Gigi Honour, who said Fred inspired her to keep writing with his facebook post about receiving over 600 rejections, and continuing to query.
Congratulations to Gayle Nathan who wrote a script for a courtroom video that was accepted for production, and on receiving a second rejection for her children's book.
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:
"I have a brag and a brag-not"
WRITING TIP from Jo Wilkins:
"The true antagonist is the character whose goals keep the protagonist from reaching the goal of the plotline. Their intentions may be good at first (to them), but then turn hostile to the other characters in the story."
