Notes from Week 1 Meeting

Here's another minutes post, because you all love them so much.

+ meetings every week!
+ two or three submissions per meeting
+ Nic's talk, tentatively sched. for 4/22/08 at normal meeting time and place
+ we need publicity for this event! and funding!
+ we need someone to talk to ENGL and CRWR departments/committees to ask for funding and build networking, as well as sending out an e-mail to the listhosts ([ugrad-english] and whatever the CRWR one is, sent out by Julia Klein)
+ let's get started on the online magazine: if anyone has ideas for the website or the magazine itself, or about lj-style cuts to excerpt works on this blog, let me know
+ weekly writer's journal: blog about the problems and successes of everyday writing (this will rotate)... who's first?

And the prompt: write a piece that could only take place in a particular season. Explore the effects of setting on your action and characters.

Meeting specifics

A few people have told me that Tuesdays are inconvenient for meetings. However, others have said that Mondays are equally bad. I'm only free on Mondays and Tuesdays, so half of us will have to be slighted.

What are your thoughts on this? Should we alternate between Mondays and Tuesdays? Or should we break into smaller sections, with half of us meeting on M and the other meeting on Tue? Would someone be willing to lead a smaller section, if it meant that you could attend a meeting after all?

As always, e-mail me with suggestions. And as it stands, next week's meeting will be on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Stay tuned for location details.
