It’s time for another meeting of the writing minds (…but not quite yet)!

WHEN: Saturday, July 13, 2024

WHERE: Waconia Library, Magazine Corner

WHAT TIME: 10:30am 

MEETING FACILITATOR: Jen

NOTE: We are meeting on the SECOND Saturday in July, due to the first Saturday landing smack dab in the middle of America’s birthday weekend. 

Takeaways from June:

At the June WWG meeting, we talked about our unique approaches to building story. How we outline (if we outline!), and how we come back to projects if we stepped away for a while. How we edit or determine whether or not a project is “finished.” How some of us save our words if they don’t fit because they might fit somewhere else eventually. 

Things to think about:

1. If you are working on a part of a story that just isn’t working, could it turn into something else?
2. Do you outline? If yes, do you outline at the beginning/before starting, OR once the story is written?
3. How do you know when a particular story is “finished”?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• ACCC Event getting rescheduled! 
  The Flash Fiction Reading event that was cancelled in June due to severe weather will be rescheduled for sometime in August. Exact date, time, location and details will be shared as soon as confirmed.

  Confirming location details for our third official meet-up! Wherever we end up, we’ll try to make some writing happen! Please note, these are casual social meet-ups and are less structured than our Saturday meetings. Come when you can, stay as long as you like.
