Hello, everyone! A reminder that there's no meeting tonight, but PLEASE look at this when you can!
Hello! Your friendly neighborhood film and story guy here. We shall resume our Wednesday night meetings on December 3rd! Let me know if anyone has any questions, and feel free to share something before then! Hopefully one of us will be able to respond! ALSO---I thought I would send this article about 'Writing Critique Group Etiquette' I found. I agree with a lot of it (like not critiquing a person's style, etc.), but I would love if everyone could read it and we can vote on making it our group's etiquette. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11GjZp189PWnuOkXjmgCEFXPIb6GtnPIUoqy2TH6Kkqw/edit?usp=sharing Give it a read and we shall discuss it briefly on the 3rd. THANKS! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Nate

Gave it a scan, no dealbreakers per se. For what it’s worth, I don’t think we should necessarily demonize showing up with “no new pages”. We all have our own timelines. My process needs creative distance for a full week or two or even years sometimes 🤷♂️ I’m happy to strike a medium by consensus to balance the group’s sentiments. I do agree that a benefit to the group is holding each other accountable for new material. Simultaneously, I can believe this dynamic might be solved by switching who begins Q&A each week if not for alternative solutions. I certainly don’t mind listening to as well as potentially facilitating another person’s process for the full time either.

Hey, everyone! I will conduct a FREE Q&A for your work-in-progress…
This next Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at 6pm. This is a chance for all of us to help you with your work in progress. Bring developmental, structure, characterization, line-by-line, or any other questions you might have!

Not gonna make it to tonight’s session, research concludes AI can’t prep a thanksgiving dinner but lmk if you guys are familiar with any tech of the sort. Are we planning to keep the rhythm on Wednesdays going forward? Can definitely carve out the time, mind the pun

Have a great time at sea!) AND THEN take off the next week and be back on Dec 3rd at 6pm Hope to see you there! (Hopefully I can figure out how to get the meeting recorded by then :) Nate
