Tuesdays with Story
November 1, 2017

Last night at Jack’s place  

Eight around the table, plus four stories, one poem, two soups, lotsa cheese, salad, wine, beer, but no John Schneller apple pie. John was away at a seminar for work.

The poem and stories are up on our Yahoo group – you can read them there – and soon they will be up on our TWS web page.

Our next Fifth Tuesday

Put it on your calendar now, January 30. Amber Boudreau will host us at her home. One caution, says Amber. She has both cats and kids, so if you have an allergy to either . . .

We do have a writing challenge: Animal stories!

Such a broad topic gives each of us a lot of latitude in selecting our subject and the viewpoint from which we want to write. Yes, it can be a dog story with a dog telling the story.

The usual limit, 500 words.

Who’s up next week 

Ah, here we go:

Millie Mader (???)
Jack Freiburger (short story, part 7,”Jesus Walked into the IHOP”)
Tracey Gemmell (synopsis, More or Less Annie)
Katy Sullivan (part 4, “The Night We Met”)
Kashmira Sheth and Amit Trivedi (chapters, ???)
Jerry Peterson (short story)

If you have your chapter, poem, next installment of your sort story, or synopsis of your novel ready, beat the rush and post it now.

Oh, yes, if you have leftover Halloween candy that you want to get out of the house, bring it Tuesday evening and share.

More books from our writers

Jerry Peterson has published two new short story collections, Smoky Mountain Stories and Hyper Fiction. Both are up on Amazon as print books and Kindle books, and both are in our Yahoo group’s Whole Books file. He’d like you to read them and post reviews on Amazon.

Hyper Fiction will have a familiar feel and flavor. Each of the 50 stories is a Fifth Tuesday story.
