Facilitator: Muhammad
Present: Richard, Jane, Muhammad, Jo Ann.
Approval of Minutes: The minutes for 7/22/09 were approved.
Discussion/Planning: Jo Ann informed the group of an email from Anne approving October 21, 2009, for the group to hold a reading, on site, to which the public would be invited. We also were informed that we could still have our regular meeting nights of October 14 and 28.
In-meeting Writing: Muhammad, as facilitator, provided the prompt for in- meeting writing. This began with a substantial introduction, which ended, "...the bad news is...." All wrote and then read their offerings.
Writing Submissions: Muhammad had prepared the beginning of a fiction piece, which is not his usual style. The story was set in Sri Lanka (his country of origin), and included customs and information unfamiliar and very interesting to the group. This was well received, and he was encouraged to continue this work. There were some suggestions for possible ways needed descriptions might be improved.
Meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
