Next Noble Pen Meeting

November 13th, 2014 at 7 pm

Scott’s Family Restaurant

1906 Blairs Ferry Rd NE, Cedar Rapids

News

A story by John Steinbeck has been found that apparently was never distributed beyond being read on the radio.

Victories

Ciuin got 95% on a difficult paper, as compared to a great many in the class who failed.

Dylan sold more books at a convention.

Tyree now sees how Wolf should end.

Cassie has averaged 600 words/day for NaNoWriMo, somewhat less than the goal, but she has some days planned for just writing.

Education

There are some words of wisdom from several successful authors.

–//–

Tyree gives a high recommendation to the book It Was the Best of Sentences, It was the Worst of Sentences.  It shows how several things that are frequently deplored in writing can be a problem, or when used sparingly can provide a good effect.  It has received other high reviews, and the occasional nit-picker’s dissenting opinion.
