I'm totally wiped out (from getting up in time to get Hubby to work before 7 so I could have the car), but had to BEDA today. :)

Took the car because today was Crit Group day. Had a good time talking about books & writing. And Wings & Fangs: BewitchedI got some good points (like "You know you just meandered through this scene here right? You do

You're wiped? I thought you were getting the super-super-super 4 shots, extra caffeine coffee?

It sounds like you've got a great writers' group. Have they read all of W&F ahead of time? Portions? Or do you bring it and read aloud? (I'm always curious how other writers' groups work).

Unfortunately, the 4-shot mocha only carried me through to mid-afternoon... I'm assuming it's bad when even the espresso barely produces an affect???

RE: Writer's Group-
Usually we each submit 10-20 pages of our current WIP 1-2 weeks before our next group meeting, and take summers off (because we all went to Hollins & trying to do group AND tutorials? Not so much...). Then last fall was my wedding & another group member got a full-time job & the other got engaged and so we've been a bit lax.

Since I completed W&F before they'd gotten to read more than a few chapters, they volunteered to read the whole thing for me. This was a few months ago. One has finished her full-crit and the other (the one wedding planning!) is still working on it. We're hoping to get back to our original structure in the fall.
