Face to face Writing Groups

On Saturday I met with fellow writers and authors in Newcastle, one of my two face to face groups. Ericia Hayes, Sandie Hudson, Mary Dedas, Heather Boyd, Suzanne Hamiliton, and Kerrie Pltomey, and Deb. Sorry I don't know Debs last name, as she is relatively new. New as for Newcastle, Mait as for Maitland. We meet at the library which has a lovely little cafe to the side. Perfect to fill our stomachs after a hard mornings work. :)

It was lovely to catch up again. It was a fantastic meeting. They all brainstormed my character in my novel,  and also had a look at subplots. We undertook character interview sheets as well, and it made me realise I needed to know my main character a whole lot better. We went over blurbs and pitches. So as you can see we covered quite a lot of ground. It was so helpful. They are so helpful. :)

I didn't get around to getting any writing related work done yesterday, but I plan to put the results of all the above into action this afternoon.  :)  Do you brainstorm with your writer friends, and if so, do you get good results? :)

I've just realised...lol...I thought it was the first of June this Friday, and panic stations were happening. Phew, I've got a week to go for the 50k's in 30 days... Yah... lol....
