2-11-10 Writer Group meeting. Attendees: Moon Pie, Sarah Walls, Jerry Tidwell, Cathy Palmer.
Old Business- we discussed the old business we had in the group.

New Business- Moon Pie started a new item called “Industry News” which she will cull from 3 different email loops she is on. She gave a handout on the NYC best seller list (specifically the book The Shack) and a Myspace story on “I judge you by the grammar you use.” She said Ann Chambless is featured on this week’s Pennys Purse web page, discussing the “Blue House”.

She said she mailed her brother a copy of J. Tidwell’s book and he has been enjoying reading it. Jerry reported on his sales from the Heritage Center and the public library.

Moon Pie showed the gift basket she will be donating at the May Heart of Dixie Romance Reader’s luncheon. It will include: a sack of Starbucks coffee, a Starbucks coffee cup, a copy of Jerry’s book and probably some other small articles.

Stories read today were:
“Who died and made you queen?” – Moon Pie
“Shinobi, the Big Fat Fish”—Cathy Palmer.
“I want 2 daddies”, and “Emergency 911 call”—Sarah Walls.

Jerry told us he was working in his second book. He had a story to read, but it was too long for our meeting. The next meeting Jerry may bring in some Xeroxed articles from old Saturday Evening Post magazines to share.
The next meeting will be February 25th.
