May 2 2024 Monthly Meeting

The May meeting will introduce officers elected in April: Doc Richter President, Aimee Keith Vice-President, Charles Tate Treasurer, and Cassy Slater Secretary.

The program will look at writing structure – Shoot The Cat!

A character meets an event that jars his world. Suffering fits, starts, defeats, missteps, s/he finally wins: world saved, lovers (re)united, villain defeated, cat eats tuna undisturbed. This structure rules most of our current writing: novels, movies, TV ads.

Let’s look at how and why it works, why we wander into it, if we might build other ways out of it, how we can write the truly unique and satisfying.

Come early to enjoy food & drink with fellow writers prior to the meeting – and to encourage Sea Island to still be willing to host us:
