Writer's Meeting Tonight!

So tonight we have a writer's meeting at Starbucks on Gervais. 7 p.m. if you're interested. We get together and bring a few pages of what we're writing [or not] and critique/praise what others are doing. It's fun! :)

I'm having a hard time either a) finding something to bring or b) writing something I can take.

I wrote a piece today called "You Are Autumn" and it's on my Facebook if you want to read it. I found a song and wanted to write a poem but a stream-of-consciousness type thing came out of it. Kind of a love letter to two of my favorites: my hubby and my favorite season. :)

Anyway...that's not really the kind of thing I want critiqued. I'm debating between some poetry, a short story, or starting something new...I'd have to edit if I took a short story, which I don't really want to do [I tend to start from scratch when editing, just saving the basic idea], but I also don't have inspiration to write something new...completely.

I started writing a horror short the other day but I don't really know how I want it to end, or if it ends as a short or if it actually becomes a novella. It's tentatively titled "Massacre" and it's a little weird. Not my norm.

I've thought about taking some of my poetry, but I don't really like to explain it and so much of it is completely personal. Highly, highly personal. So...I just don't know. We'll see.

But I am really super excited about Violet's Monster and fleshing out what's going on in that story so maybe I'll work on that part of the afternoon and then search for something to take to the writer's meeting tonight [I took part of that last time so...don't want repeats!].

Have a lovely day, everyone. Happy Autumn!
