Next Noble Pen Meeting

November 30th, 2017 at 7 pm

Scott’s Family Restaurant

1906 Blairs Ferry Rd NE, Cedar Rapids

News

Our Dec 21st meeting would come close to Christmas.  Do we want to have a meeting to give us some sense of normalcy in that crazy time, or do we need the time to prepare for all the seasonal activities?  Please comment on this at the next couple meetings.

Victories

If you are reading this, you survived what was probably an overdose of calories on Thanksgiving.  Perhaps you even did some writing.

Education

Many word pairs cause confusion.  Homophones (their, there, they’re) are probably the biggest problem for writers.  Can you distinguish between since and because? Can you distinguish between Insure and ensure?    How about raise and rise?  (Link lists several other pairs also.)
