Our Last Meeting

The South Arkansas Writers met at 2 PM on Sunday, 16 February 2025 at Main Street Pizza in El Dorado. Present were Jack and Janet Ryan, Desireé Stipp-Bethune, Simeon Stipp-Bethune, and Rick Vosper.

Our next meeting will be at 2 PM on 16 March 2025 at Main Street Pizza.

News:
   Simeon was on the South Arkansas College President’s Honor Roll for the Fall Semester.
   Desireé told us that the next White County Writers Contest has a 1 May deadline. Check their webpage for details: https://whitecountycreativewriters.org/contests/writing-contests-2025/
   Rick told us about attending a program about getting a book agent. For information, check their web page: https://writers.getabookdeal101.com/

Writing from Prompts: Desireé read two stories, “The Return Home” and “Ablaze.”

Prompts for our March meeting include: 1) “A fortune teller,” 2) “Lions and Lambs,” 3) “Marching,” and 4) (as always)... “Anything You Want.”"

We critiqued Rick’s Chapter 19 from his “Requiem for a McGuffin” novel and Jack’s Chapter 1, “The Centaurian Bud Vase,” from his novel of the same name. Both got a lot of good suggestions.

If anyone has something to be critiqued, a news item, another prompt for our next meeting, or would like to present a short “program” on something that you think would be of interest to us all, you can email me at jackwryan@gmail.com
