Meeting

Thanks for the help oinkers.

My stories will be greatly improved. Both of you managed to find things I wasn’t aware of and clarify problems I knew about, but couldn’t understand.

Me and Jen put our heads together and came up some ideas that might help Mark in his quest for novelhood.

Next meeting is May 27, 6 pm at the Moal hole. It will be Mark’s turn maybe will get to read his novel further.
Don’t forget the meeting after that is June 3.

Last meeting

I hope Mark was encouraged by our last meeting. Me and Jen let him keep both chapters. After heaping abuse on his fabulous novel we then took him dinner. Happy B'Day Mark.

Next meeting will be May 13th 6'oclock at the Moal hole.

It's my turn and I'll be submitting "Facing the Fire" (800 words), "Shuffle of the Dead" (2400 words), and 250 word AHMM mysterious photo entry.

That leaves Mark and Jennifer about 2800 words to fight over.

Yet, another great meeting

I'd say this was another productive Oinkfest.

Mark bravely brought in some beautiful writing that may wind up on the cutting room floor. He bore me and Jen's roses and thorns with equal grace.

Hopefully Mark will show up for the next meeting since it's his turn. That will be April 22 at the Le Hole du Moal at 6pm.

See ya then.

I like how your novel is shaping up.
How's Max adjusting?
