Same question.

Yep, depending on the meeting time, I either put them to bed early or late. Unfortunately since they have a tendency of taking an hour or so to pass out it is never easy.

The one that I have that published was about my surviving rape/abuse. I have one about Husbands and Egos regarding toys... one about vibrator mishaps... one about the community... all of which are scheduled to publish.... SOMETIME!

As far as the 'free form forum' what that means is the writer is free to choose whatever style they wish to cover a topic. If you like non-fiction then write an editorial piece, if you are a poet write poetry in whatever form you want, if you like writing raunchy erotic fiction then by all means! Light romance, sci-fi, whatever!

We want to include as many styles of writing as we have people to write it. What ties it all together is the three topics.

Does that make sense?

I have a piece there as well. When I signed up, I had intended to do more pieces, but school got in the way. I am hoping this club will help me manage my time for non-school writing to get more up there!

That's fine Hun. If you have an idea for a topic but can't make the meeting just dro me a line and I'll add it to the discussion. If you just want to read the discussion then come on in after and add your thoughts to the forum.

It does to me.

As for the topics, maybe what would work best for everybody would make the LOVE topic, Love/or the lack thereof? That encompasses quite a bit of territory and we probably wont all end up writing similar stuff that way?

This seems to be the consensus for at least this month so I'll add it to the post at the end.

Just a love in general kinda thing, going whichever way you want it to?

I'll third love found and suggest hearts and flowers (since it's vday)

What about "Love lost & love found", to make it a bit broader for V-Day?

I'll propose another topic: Warmth...probably has to do with the fact that it's freezing outside...

Thanks I will definitely do that if I need to. I just had my kids all dressed up in snowsuits and packed waiting for their dad to get here, I kicked him out as soon as he peed too. I was like I have stuff to do .. just go!

There was Alien Apocalypse, right? And maybe "Hearts & Flowers"? I think the commercialism one could totally fit into the Hearts & Flowers category.

That could encompass a lot of tangents... great for a topic I think!

Yea, sounds good to me! I really like the free form idea.

As does the three piece max. If someone writes more than that, they can always save it for next time, right?

I'm very well aware of that, I was telling her that she can add her own suggestions for sane ones since she is in no way, shape, or form restricted to this list of suggestions here.

Fair enough - I like Warmth too! February is the month of Imbolc (Brigid/Lady's Day), which is all about fire....

I think love found or lost could work well together.

Anyone else that has some ideas feel free to throw them out there! We are meeting next month on Valentine's Day...but the topic could be about horses for all it matters! We don't necessarily NEED a theme, just a topic!

awe... 5 year old came home with pink eye. Took her to the doctor (WHO DID NOT CHECK HER EARS EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS SNUFFLING AND COUGHING) and then had to take her back today for an EAR INFECTION.

The baby, 3, has a fever and cough. She's my one who is never sick, so it's extra pitiful.

I hope your lil one gets better soon!
