A good turn out despite the cold weather. This month's meeting was a week later than usual due to the atrocious weather last week.
Deb shared her dilemma over the free print on demand publishing of her novel. Does it really count if it's POD and not been through a publisher's editing process? A few different opinions here.

Congratulations to Tonia who has had a poem published in Orbis magazine. She advises that we might consider sticking to our guns when it comes to editorial input. I think she feels a little disappointed at losing some of her voice in the poem. Nevertheless congratulations again!

Good mixed bag of readings tonight - Bob has finished yet another novel!

Not sure I believe in Stephen King's philosophy about reading. A uniqueness begins with one's own style - depending what you are trying to relay! Still good advice - Not everyone likes horror - everyone to their own!
