Did you miss the reading?

IMG_0546The Writers’ Mill reading went really well on Sunday. We had about 35 people there altogether, and we successfully negotiated microphone, cables and chairs to entertain them. The staff at Cedar Mill Library were fantastic and had the room all set up ready before we arrived. They even had water available for the speakers (this speaker really really appreciated that!), plus hot drinks on the table in the entry. We just added chocolate (and this speaker really really appreciated chocolate too!).IMG_0519

Of course, we also added anecdotes, snippets, chapters, essays, questions, information about our group, and even some jokes. It all worked really well.IMG_0533

Matthew probably got the most laughs, with his humorous and informative rendition of story and research. IMG_0540Minnie offered a delightfully unique take on Jennifer’s cat story.

Fred listened intently.

And the door prize was surely won by the very best man!

Many thanks for our unofficial IMG_0538photographer, Jean Harkin, and I hope you enjoy this small selection from her great pictures.

 

If you weren’t there on Sunday, you missed a really fun event, but I hope this blogpost allows you to share in the flavor. What do you think? Should we do it again? Powells anyone?IMG_0544

How and Where to Share your Book, from Jim Elstad’s talk in March 2015

Jim walked in to our Writers’ Mill meeting with a small suitcase on wheels and something that looked like a wooden easel. It turned out he was carrying everything necessary to set up a book-table for a book-signing, book-sale, book-reading, etc. Just add courage!

Are you interested in mid-month meetings?

If you are one of the members who would like more frequent meetings than our regular, third Sunday of the month meetings at the library, this is your chance to suggest when and where you would like such meetings to take place. Please keep your suggestions short and simple, as they will appear as options for other people to vote on after you make them. And don’t forget, you can come back later and add more suggestions or vote on suggestions that other people have added.
