This Saturday, September 11th, do whatever it takes to be at our SCRIBE meeting. Our guest will be author/comedian/actor/screenwriter Owen Egerton. I just finished Owen's latest book, The Book of Harold, and I liked it better than hot breakfast. Owen is a fascinating fellow who loves Austin and loves writers and in last week's Austin Chronicle "Best of" awards, he became our "Best Local Author." He knows funny, yet he can do poignant, philosophical and thought-provoking, too. Hearing and meeting him will be more fun than is normally allowed within church walls. You can learn more about Owen by visiting his website. As usual, we start up at 10:30 Saturday morning in Quad 4. Be here and bring along someone who's interested in writing. Our group is becoming more wondrous all the time!

Looks like fun. Can't wait! HEY! Why isn't anyone commenting here? You know, we could have a pretty good little discussion going on right here...in quasi-real time if some of you guys would chime in.
ReplyDeleteLet's play a game shall we? I'll start. (I get to start because I was here first. :-> ) I'll start writing a story...then, the next poster will add on and so on. Mike, if we all do a bit - will you read it at the 2nd August meeting? Even not, it'll be fun.
Ok, here goes: It was a dark and stormy night...lol, just kidding. Seriously, here goes:
He walked into the tavern not knowing what to expect. The note said that the person he was supposed to meet would know him, so he had no idea who might be waiting.
Wandering the tavern and locking eyes with one lonely patron after another, he deduced from the blank expression in each of their rum-soaked pairs of eyes that the person who sent the note must not yet be here. Choosing a table in the back, not precisely by the door, but close enough for him to slip out should the situation become uncomfortable, Mike sat to wait for the person who held his fate in their hands.
Ok...who's next? Add on and have fun!!!
Hi all!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share a link to an article that I found to be enlightening. It's by a fellow that I've taken several writing classes from and he often helps me with work in progress as I'm still a student of his. His insights as a working author and teacher are quite interesting and I draw upon them all the time.
Enjoy the article! It's the Sept.23rd entry.
