Invite to a writing group!

Aka: do YOU have what it takes to join the Sua Wizards?

As part of our ISO-9003 application process, things get explained. (Not the name, though; you learn the meaning behind that if you join, and maybe even a secret handshake.)

Basically, a group of us got together last year after nano and kept the muse going all year* round.

The gist of it is that we meet up once every two weeks, Sunday afternoons from 1 pm until 3-4 pm. Meetings have been held mostly at my place so far. Two people submit short stories, chapters of novels, plays, poetry etc. sometime during the two weeks before the meeting (generally, we go for ~2,500 as the max submission length) via email. Everyone else prints it off, etc., edits, and at the meeting we go round in a circle and every one gives their critiques, advice, ideas and such about whatever is submitted.

After that, we chat about writing, story ideas, so some games (like the page 117 game) and so on. It's pretty fun, but RL sucked away half the members during the year, so now there are only 3 of us.

So we're looking for 3-4 people who are willing to commit some of their time to the meetings, editing, submitting and such. You do NOT have to write throughout the year -- some people are just submitting edited chapters of their nano, a chapter at a time. Some of us hope to publish things, some don't: It's fairly informal all told.

If you're interested, or want more information, talk to me, Chris, or Darusha during the next meeting or the TGIO party or via nanomail etc. I figure 6-8 members in total is a reasonable number that will survive attrition and such: if you know someone who didn't do nano who'd want to join, feel free to invite them as well.

* Last year had no meetings from July-August, due to summer screwing up many schedules. but all year round still sounds better.
