Meg Waite Clayton said… Adela, We're delighted to have you in the novelist group! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.
And we do a live chat on Fridays at 3EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.

Marilyn Fried said… Adela,
I don't think I will be able to make the lunch on the 29th. My husband is job hunting and we are likely to be traveling. There are other people who live north of Chicago so you should be able to connect to someone.

- We can meet further north if you want. We'll see if anyone else shows up. Last year, someone from Wisc came to join the Evanston group lunch. I'm trying to remember who all came last year.

- I don't know how far you are from Evanston, but last year a group of us met up at the Blind Faith Cafe on Dempster.

Jennifer Groepl said… Thanks for the friend request, Adela. I tried to post my concerns about self-promotion to the discussion wall, but think I managed a private message to everyone instead. Thanks for responding. I'll try the discussion board again.
Good luck with the technical writing course too! :-)
