(Once in a while we skip a Friday, like if all or most of us are out of town). We won't be there this Friday, but will be the following Friday. You can have her email me if she'd like to come, or just show up. They usually reserve the corner table for us, LOL, even though they're really not supposed to.Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-2322952580590139762014-07-21T16:07:39.437-04:002014-07-21T16:07:39.437-04:00I almost forgot.

While in Paris the last time, I researched and took lots of pictures of buildings for a book set in the Lost Generation, a romance between an American jazz saxophonist and a Parisian female author. I don't know if it'll find a home or if I'll have to kick it out of the next myself, but eventually I need to write it. FOR SURE I need to read this series.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-20952972871956330492014-07-19T14:58:20.829-04:002014-07-19T14:58:20.829-04:00We have a great time, and this series, once we get...We have a great time, and this series, once we get it off the ground will be fabulous. Obviously, we need more MCs...hmm, perhaps we should start a city by city chapter organization? Nah...too much work.

Our Lake Writers are putting out a novel written by 12 of us--a chapter for each month. It is intentionally badly written. Other writers may find it amusing. Actual people (you know--non-writers)will probably be baffled. Your Martini group sounds great--wine, lots of wine, might help our Lake Writers project!Susan Coryellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700818086229953333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-89063845322615306902014-07-19T13:25:48.219-04:002014-07-19T13:25:48.219-04:00Yes, it is so much fun to bounce ideas off one ano...Yes, it is so much fun to bounce ideas off one another. Very helpful, too. It's funny, I've only ever written contemporary, but now I find myself with a 50's story releasing in January, and a 20's story releasing soon. It was great writing in those eras. Thanks, Jannine!<br /><br />Thank you, Liz and Alison. Yes, we are having a great time, and I also love the ideas for the stories. It's been an interesting creative process.<br /><br />Yes, Donna, we're very blessed. We all met through local writing courses and/or our local RWA chapter, and we've become very close friends. I have long distance writer friends, too, and I hate that I can't get together with them in person. Thank you!<br /><br />Thanks, Diane and Betsy. I appreciate the extra push, Betsy, we're trying, but we do need to really work hard and get it done. I will let you all know when they're released.<br /><br />Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-40819227923302824052014-07-19T12:57:07.649-04:002014-07-19T12:57:07.649-04:00I love projects like this.

And my cp lives clear across the country. Talking on the phone is not the same as having drinks in person, hence our escapades when we do meet up. ;-) Best of luck to the Martini Club!Donna Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432598670605984687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-91964893478756179092014-07-19T11:55:32.602-04:002014-07-19T11:55:32.602-04:00What a fantastic idea.
