Happy February
Last evening, nine of us met at Symposium Restaurant for our monthly dinner. A special welcome to newcomers Lise, Rachel, Matt, Jen and Steve. The conversation was an animated one as we discussed our WIPs, writing journeys, epublishing vs traditional publishing (always on the agenda), editing, zombies, home improvement projects, writing contests, books and movies.
Congratulations to Dennis Fitter
