As far as workshops go, there are two in the works. So for those of you who cannot visualize the process, soon you will get an example.

I get that you're talking about money and not just points... I guess I am a little at a loss for an idea on how that would work because I think a lot of it should be based on the efficacy of the affiliate... if we're going to use my idea of workshops/parties as the example.

That's what I meant
I had a few workshop ideas for after my first proposal. Thanks.

My boyfriend was sick, so the last two days we were together, we were both ill-ish. I was feverish and kept passing out. We're both ill. It sucks.

Oh... for your idea, it would sort of be its own thing. But, if you were to host a group of people at your house for an hour or two, time and and money would be involved in preparing that.

YAY! I can't wait, I really am having trouble seeing how it'd all come together so I can't wait to see one in action!

In the beginning I said clubs, events, and workshops (to include all existing ideas). We are inventing a lot of this as we go, so I apologize for being confusing with the wording here.

SO many ideas all at once...it's bound to get a bit confusing

I wish I could be here for every meeting but I usually work Thursday nights... but maybe I won't have to forever!

Is there a way I can keep up with CEC and still have a way to express ideas, etc. for this since I'm not usually around on Thursdays? Maybe?

EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED, just email me and I will send you one of these 'club, event, workshop proposal forms'!

You could read the transcript on the site the day after and then email someone who can be here to bring up your ideas?

Maybe when the thread is posted the day before, you can add some questions to the thread and then we can toss around the ideas, and you can come back to them after work?

If someone has proposed the writer's club already I would be willing to work with them in whatever capacity they need!

The easiest way is to chime in on the threads with your feedback and questions before or after these discussions. I posted this thread like 2 days ago, and it will remain up on the forum.

Im usually around as these meetings take place in the middle of the day for me, maybe you could read everything in the posts as Airen suggested and I'd be happy to bring up any of your ideas or proposals on your behalf (whilst crediting them to you of course) if that would be helpful??

Heh I now there is eden-lit already so I thought I would chime in on that rather than reinvent the wheel so to speak I would love to collaborate on events/workshops/clube just to get a feel for how they work.
