Now that I’m gone in the Middle East, the Quark writing group has to find its way without me at the helm. So far (as far as I know) it’s been going really well, with Travis moderating the online meetings–from what I’ve seen, we’ve even got a few new people coming out, which will be really awesome if they keep coming into the fall. But sadly, he’s gotten too busy to handle things, so I had to find another replacement yesterday.
I thought: who would be better than Aneeka to head off the writing group? Turns out, she was up for it, so now I can rest well knowing that the club is still alive and still in good hands, even with me on the other side of the world and COMPLETELY out of the loop.
But the whole thing got me to thinking about what’s going to happen in the fall, when I get back to Utah and I’m back in charge of the writing group again…there is a lot that needs to be done. One of the things that a lot of people wanted to do was NaNoWriMo, something I haven’t done before but has become a really big thing among aspiring writers. It would be a good thing to bring us together, to bring in some new people, to build connections with the wider writing community out in Utah, etc etc…
Trouble is, if we’re going to be doing it as a club, that means that as writing vp, I should probably participate in it this year. And in order to participate, I need to come up with some idea for a story…
