So, if you replied to the forum โWhere do you live?โ I know whether or not you live in beautiful Ohio. But if you didnโt, I have no idea. Iโm trying to organize a Writersโ Gathering in January, and wanted to invite as many KP people as possible.
If I invited you to the last gathering, that means I know where you live (that sounded creepy) and you donโt have to reply to this forum unless you feel like bragging about the Buckeyesโ amazing football victory on Saturday. But if you didnโt receive an invitation to the last one, and youโre an Ohioan, I donโt know that. So yeahโ let me know, especially if you are interested in participating in a writersโ gathering.
To all of the Ohioans reading this, enjoy your last days of autumn and stay warm. ๐YA Fantasy Writer

November 30, 2016 at 9:39 pm #21943Iโm an Ohioan (and proud), but, of course, you already know that. ๐
@his-instrumentDecember 13, 2016 at 4:53 pm #22710Okay, Ohio people, check your calendars for January 7th. I want to have another Writerโs Gathering, 10-2, at Lifeway Christian Book Store. Nothing is final yetโฆ Iโm still working out the detailsโฆ but let me know if this works for you all. Iโd like to do this before spring semester starts and I lose my mind until May. (Just kidding, I fully intend on keeping all my sanity, but it will be significantly busier for all of us when school picks back up again.) If another Saturday in January works better, let me know. Iโll see what I can do to arrange this so that everyone can make it.
Also, if anyone would like to give a brief โinstructionalโ period during the gathering, because weโll have some writers there who probably havenโt spent as much time and effort and thought and blood and sweat and tears on writing as we may have, and they could benefit from a little teaching. Two to three minutes before an exercise would do. Iโd rather not give all the tips and suggestions myself, so if yโall want to collaborate with me on this that would be great.

@his-instrument I just realized I have a family Christmas on the seventh so I wonโt be able to make it. :(::::
December 13, 2016 at 6:15 pm #22716@his-instrument Ok, looks like I should be able to make it on the seventh. Iโm also available the 21st and 28th and it might be possible I could make it on the 14th, though it would probably have to be in the evening in that case. Iโd be willing to teach something too, though I donโt really know what Iโd do it on.

December 13, 2016 at 7:13 pm #22717@His-Instrument Any schedule complications aside, Iโll tell you I wonโt be coming. Not really being a writer, that wouldnโt be practical. It sounds like tons of fun though, so have tons of fun!
And thanks anyway for the invite. ๐- This reply was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by Emma Flournoy.
December 13, 2016 at 7:44 pm #22719@His-Instrument thanks for the invite, but Iโm afraid I shall have to decline. ๐ My family owns a cabin-rental business and we clean the cabins ourselves, so itโs kinda difficult to get away from, even one of us, even for a day. Thanks for inviting me though. Enjoy yourselves. ๐
Okay, the room at LifeWay was already booked on January 7th, so I have reserved it for January 21st from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
@daeus, it would be great if you could teach for 2-3 minutes about the importance of using body language in dialogue as a preparation for one of the games or exercises weโll do. I tried to talk about that at the last gathering, but I ended up just roping one of my friends into an improv skit during which we demonstrated what a conversation looks like when no body language cues are supplied (meaning, we acted out a conflict without using any nonverbal communication).
@kate-flournoy @winter-rose Maybe you could make it on that day?

Find me at hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.comDecember 19, 2016 at 3:16 pm #22954@His-Instrument I appreciate your flexibility and efforts, but Iโm afraid not. ๐ See, Iโm not driving yet, so one of my parents would have to take the time to drive me, which would take them away from the cabin business and leave the other half of the family to do all the cleaning work themselves, and while Iโm sure we could manage if we had to, Iโd rather not put that burden on them. Thank you though. I hope you guys have a great time. ๐
@his-instrument Ok, I think that should work.

December 19, 2016 at 3:24 pm #22958@christi-eaton We should do a Skype or Google Hangouts thing sometime. Or you should just move to beautiful Ohioโฆand enjoy the snow and sub-zero temperatures. ๐
@kate-flournoy Just out of curiosity, what city in Ohio do you live in?
@daeus Hope to see you there!YA Fantasy Writer

Find me at hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.comDecember 19, 2016 at 3:30 pm #22959@His-Instrument ummmโฆ about thirty minutesโฆ east? of Circleville. But our โtravel-zoneโ is usually limited to around an hour either way unless weโre going to do something really special all together, in which case we have to wait for a day with comparatively little cabin-related work, which are few and far between. Also we practically donโt travel AT ALL in winter with guests in the cabins, because our driveway is a nightmare and when thereโs snow on it we actually have to do ferry-service for our guests on our four-wheeler. ๐
