| 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!
ReplyDeleteI wish I were there! Imagine getting to see both Debby and Missy and a slew of others at the same time!
ReplyDeleteGiven 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!
ReplyDeleteHi Larissa,
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of you and Denise!
Pam,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy when you post pictures of your area writing events. Too bad we can't bi-locate! LOL
Noelle,
ReplyDeleteI 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
