Craft Chat Write Club South - Being Gorgeous

[Aethalope]

Hi everyone!

Anyone up for a craft meet this Wednesday?
-> 4.30pm Singapore, 7.30pm Sydney, 8.30am UK

We've got a craft exercise from Ursula le Guin about Being Gorgeous. Of course we're all gorgeous already, but lets put it down on paper

@RK Wallis
@wrightstuff
@LJ Beck

Anyone else who wants to join let me know, and I'll send you the exercise.

Laura

 

[RK Wallis]

I'm in, and you sent me the exercise

 

[Aethalope]

I'm in, and you sent me the exercise

I still need to do mine

 

[Sedayne]

A definite maybe from me.
Sort of depends if I have time for the exercise - I've got two long shifts between now and then.
And it's nearly midnight here and I'm faffing on Litopia instead of going to sleep...

 

[Sedayne]

Since this exercise is all about sound, I thought it appropriate to write about music. It's related to a non-fiction proposal I'm (maybe) considering submitting. I'll explain more tomorrow, but here's a link if anyone else likes writing about albums.

See you tomorrow

Sorry this is a bit longer than 1 page. I don't know why this story came to me (based on a true story), but once it did, I was too far in to back down. See you all later!

 

[Aethalope]

Those look great! And gorgeous

Here's the meeting link for later. I'll be there around 4pm Singapore time.

 

[RK Wallis]

I can't read mine aloud. Would you mind reading mine aloud it tonight, Laura? Just so I can see if it matches what I hear in my head. Thanks

 

[Aethalope]

Absolutely, it'll be an honour

You've got Claulk, Claudia and Caulk in there. Just checking, are those typos or three different people?

(I have a mynah bird called Claudia. She loves my husband but hates my guts.)

typos, lol, it should be Caulk

Funny bird, lol!

 

[Aethalope]

Here is my effort.... I am feeling very hot and lazy today.

Here's the meeting link for later.

And the link is here, or above.

See you later!

Hi! I'm trying to get in. I clicked on the link, which is an email address, but I copied just the zoom link from that, and now it's asking for a passcode?

Maybe if you can, copy just the invite address (don't worry about linking it) and a passcode here? Thanks!

Got all my reading done.

 

[Sedayne]

Is that the time already? I'd better stop hula hooping and go home. But it's warm in the gym and there's a hailstorm outside...

 

[LJ Beck]

BTW, here's two contests if any of you are interested.

Dear Aliens - super fun. Free except the postage to send it in snail mail. Why snail mail, I do not know. Prize is $2K.

The Mike Resnick Memorial Award | Arc Manor - Looking for sci-fi short stories of 5K or less. Only for new unpublished authors who've made $50 or less on any given work. Also free. Prize $250 and a trophy!

 

[Sedayne]

I'm having issues getting connected - I'll keep trying.

 

[LJ Beck]

It says I need a passcode...

 

[Sedayne]

The link just opens up an email??

 

[LJ Beck]

Yes, but there's a web address in there for the zoom meeting. I used that (just copy/pasted it), and zoom comes up but I need a passcode.

@Aethalope - let me know if you want me to create a new zoom. In case you're having trouble.

 

[Aethalope]

Oops, let me see. It worked last week.
