Since it's the season for all things spooky, the theme for our meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 25, is “Scary Stories.” What is your greatest fear as a writer/artist? What scares your characters? Bring a scary story or scene* to share, yours or a favorite by someone else. Readers will have 5 minutes each.
The meeting starts at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the Barnes & Noble on Texas Ave. in College Station. For brief, gentle critique at 9:30 a.m., bring up to 5 pages (typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font) of a work in progress to share.
*Need ideas? Check out these prompts for ghost and horror/thriller/mystery stories. If we have time, we will brainstorm a spooky story as a group.
