| Debby (L) visits with Love Inspired author Missy Tippens (R) |
Ever wonder where writers meet and what they talk about when they get together? Often they gather at local or regional writers' meetings. Last Saturday, I joined with other members of my Georgia Romance Writers' chapter for our monthly get-together and presentation.
We arrive at 9 AM for breakfast at an Atlanta-area hotel, and a business meeting follows the meal. Our chapter president shares information on upcoming events, and board members discuss various projects with which GRW is involved.
A regular part of the format is when we share good news. The sale of a book, writing awards, even rejections are celebrated. How can a rejection be good news? Because it means the member is submitting his or her work to editors and agents. Just because a story didn't sell this time, doesn't mean it won't the next time, and as we all know, a manuscript can't sell if it hasn't been submitted.

I see some of my favorite people! Lovely summary of what happens at a writer's meeting, Debby. I could have used this before my first one. Thanks!
I wish I were there! Imagine getting to see both Debby and Missy and a slew of others at the same time!
Given my work-from-home status, I have to admit, I live for these meetings. A room full of like-minded adults, who are also game to offer recommendations for books? Yes, please! Great photos, too!
Hi Larissa,
Love the pic of you and Denise!
Pam,
I always enjoy when you post pictures of your area writing events. Too bad we can't bi-locate! LOL
Noelle,
I always come home from the meetings energized and ready to tackle my WIP with new enthusiasm.
Looks like a fun time, Debby! :) Blessings, Patti Jo
It was a great meeting! Thanks for sharing the photos, Debby. I always get energized by the meetings, too. :)
Pamela, come on! We'd love to have you any time. :)
Hi Patti Jo!
You need to join us someday.
Waving to Missy!
