Cleckheaton Writers Group Minutes, meeting Monday 19 October

Cleckheaton Writers Group met on Monday, Karen and Sam having passed on their apologies

Present: Sarah, Alice, Gemma, Mandy

Mandy – has two freelance editing jobs, editing collections of poetry for her publishers. Not done much writing.

Alice – editing her book based on feedback from a publisher and doing NaNoWriMo prep on a different book.

Gemma – more research and feels like she needs to work more on her male characters, giving the prison chaplain a bigger role.

Sarah – editing book two – about 75% through now – using Save the Cat story beats.

Gemma is feeling a bit overwhelmed by the research and feels like she maybe needs to take a bit of a break. Both Alice and Gemma are taking part in NaNoWriMo so this might be an opportunity to push through with the story and not worry too much about the research.

The next meeting will take place on Monday 2 November 2020 at 5.45pm on Zoom. Can all members wishing to share work for feedback, please do so by this Sunday. Thanks
