Meeting Minutes, May 15, 2011

We were joined by a new member, Brenda Wainman. Welcome Brenda!

Most of the meeting was taken up with discussion of the group guidelines. Many changes were suggested and agreed upon. A revised copy will be sent to all members. Please print out your own copy upon receipt.

In the future, once finalized, the group guidelines will be attached to the welcome letter Pat gives to new members, along with the meeting schedule.

We had some time left over for a couple of people to read and to do prompts. The prompts provided by Clare were:

1. How many writers does it take to change a lightbulb?

2. You won't believe what came in the mail today.

3. It was a bright, starry night that the traveling circus rolled into town.

The next meeting is May 29th. Judy will be leading.

Patricia suggested posting our 'prompts' on our site: Here's mine. Ron. (Oh the other two are just tests to try and find out why the first time I typed this up it failed to register, so here is the fifth time and if this fails to post again just ask me to post it on an eMail.)

My prompt and writing:
How many writers does it take to change a light bulb? Silly question. The answer is as varied as there are writers and even sillier taken the variety of light bulbs that exist in the global confines of daily darkness.
This of course excludes all the dopey jokes we hear regularly about who changes light bulbs. They bore me to tears because most have never been in on a 100 plus foot sky lift out over say a busy four lane freeway with traffic zooming along at 60mph while trying to put a new right-handed bulb in a left handed socket without dropping it on a speeding vehicle.,
Quick answer to the question. One writer who really needed to finish that last sentence in his book, because the bulb burned out in his solitary jail cell.
