So...it's been awhile

Hi!

So we're just in the middle of planning an action/fight scene heavy Cliff Hanger meeting, (which is going to be awesome by the way) we're trying to have it before Lindsey heads up back to the uninhabited land up north called Idaho for college. While we've been sorting this out I thought that maybe we should do a check up of where we were at on our old list of activity ideas. Here it is! Bolded ones are completed (or missed).

1. Behind the names
2. April Fools Day exchange We kind of forgot about this one...April fools?
3. Character exchange
4. Ski and write a-thon I guess that the skiing season is over, maybe we can change it to another Spring/Summer/Fall activity.
5. Write or die
6. Story playlists
7. Story prompt a day Lindsey and I did this when we were hanging out (it was a smaller meeting).
8. Board game stories
9. Ipod stories Completed! I'm working on polishing up mine so I can sell it to a magazine as a short story. :)
10. Box Stories
11. Edit Twilight
12. Movie review

We've done right by some and wrong by others as you can tell. We've done pretty good for starving freshmen/aspiring writers though in my humble opinion. One thing at a time!

Our mission should we choose to accept it...

Well, since Danny was unable to attend our last meeting because he was sick we decided to make it short but but stimulating. So we (Lindsey, Jori, and me) decided to start off by talking about what inspires us and what kind of stories we like to create, (More on that in a future article...ha ha) what books we've read and how we liked them, and then we started our first GROUP CHALLENGE.

It's not that hard of a challenge except it might be hard to find the time to actually type it... Here it is: 200 to 500 words of original content of any genre and point of view the team member chooses. It *IS* our first one though so, hopefully we'll all have something nice and semi polished before the next time we meet up. (Oh, and don't worry; we filled Danny in so he won't fall behind;))

P.S. "The key to writing" will be up on this site soon, so don't think that I forgot ha ha! It's shaping up nicely. Until next time then!
