Noble Pen Meeting

September 9nd, 2010
Happy Chef, 1906 Blairs Ferry Rd NE, Cedar Rapids

Drop your weapons. You’re surrounded by armed bastards.
–Gene Hunt, Life on Mars

He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
–Douglas Adam, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

These T-shirts were tested on animals. They didn’t fit.
—Merchandise from BBC’s Top Gear

Victories

Nick had two rejections from the same magazine. The second one was just a crude drawing of an Italian hand gesture.

Ciuin started a blog and is writing or pasting in something new every day. Looks like she’s already behind. Taunt her.

Tyree lent a book to Ciuin who has not returned it yet–if she did, the door would keep blowing closed.

News

Sir Terry Pratchett talks about dealing with death while writing fantasy.

Editor and writing coach Daphne Gray-Grant writes about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Writers.
