Next Meeting October 14

 See ya guys again! 👏 Thanks for chatting with us!

" Writers are readers inspired to write"

 Yet, I can't tell the last time I sat down to read another writing other than my own. These days I've mostly been reading manga and webtoons but I don't really count those as books. 

Pictures are pictures and to me books are pictures painted with words. 

What type of books do you guys normally reach for? 

What type of books do you guys hate?

Discord Chat

 Good afternoon everyone,

We have a Discord channel for the Writer's Guild. For those of you who do not know what Discord is, it is a free app that you can download to either your computer or your phone and communicate there. It does have Video and Voice chat abilities. Unfortunately, I am out here in the country with some boonie-Wifi so if I am trying to chat, my signal messes things up. As a result, I keep everything to typed communication.

Here is the URL link to the chat

Hope to see you there:)

September 30th Meeting

 👋 Wassup, wassup? 

Hope you all aren't sick of me by now. It's time to host our 30th meeting! Make some noise! 💃

Do we have anything to discuss? Hmm, let's see. 

Well there's the winners of the poetry slam, also the approaching Nanowrimo month. I always did it alone when I wasn't in this club (of course I never finished TT ^ TT) but hopefully we'll also be able to have fun in this club. If we're still not able to meet up, maybe we could video chat?I missed the chance to try out webex, but there's also messenger or skype? I will try to keep an eye on my email more often. 

"National Novel Writing Month (often shortened to NaNoWriMo) is an annual Internet-based creative writing project that takes place during the month of November. Participants attempt to write a 50,000-word manuscript between November 1 and November 30. Well-known authors write "pep-talks" to keep them motivated throughout the process. "

(The rules are to start on a completely new book so that you don't have a head start compared to other people lol)

If you all could let us know what days you all are free near November that would be awesome. Though I have a question for some of you. What's your goal? Is it to ultimately publish a book or do you just write for fun? For me its both. I really want to publish a book and get it adapted into a video game or anime one day. That's my dream. What are yours?

I'll try publishing some activities in a separate tab if we have time. 

Also Ms. C spoke in the CTC club live meeting and I'm just gonna post it here because I failed to watch it.

Several sites for writers

 Hi guys,

I know many of you are writing books, so I wanted to share some great websites that you may want to check out. 

querytracker.net is a site where you can look for agents. They help you match with an agent and then you send in a query letter. If they are interested, they will contact you to send in your first 3 chapters.

querymanager.com provides you with agent resources.

Both of those sites will give you instructions on how to write a query letter.

There's also forums where you can share your work with other writers: 

https://nybookeditors.com/2015/11/11-top-writing-communities-you-should-join-and-why/

https://blog.reedsy.com/writing-community/

In November, you can get involved with NANOWRIMO where you gather with other authors and write your novel during the month of November. https://nanowrimo.org/

So check out these sites. They're great for giving you feedback and getting you started. 

Next Meeting September 30

 till then!

September 9th Meeting

 Good Afternoon, Writer's Guild! 

👋Guess who?

It's the Sec, Bianca. 

So September 1st came and went. I wonder how did the Poetry Slam result? Who was the winner? Oh wait, saw that there will be a premiere on the 17 of September? How fun. 

Well, like everything before we encourage members to suggest writing ideas, it could be now or before future meetings maybe. What shall we do or discuss today? Hmm? Hmm, I don't think we have anything major to discuss today, either. How has everyone been?
