We had a meeting yesterday at lunch; but only three people showed up. We read a short story by one of the group members, which I felt had a really powerful ending. We discussed the story and ways that we felt it could be improved, and ways that we felt it really stood out and gave our feedback to the author.
Also yesterday on the bus I came up with a new story and actually began writing it. It is so far more compelling than the other one I've begun and so far I can't really get the other one going, but this one I feel is much more involved and so far I've been able to write, so far, the first half page or the whole first page in less than an hour. Hopefully I can maintain this story while at the same time starting and continuing the other story.
The overall story is still unclear, but it begins with a US Navy SEAL team going into a small town in the Midwest investigating the death of the entire town. Hopefully I can continue it and have a page or two completed over the weekend. I hope to be able to keep the feeling of suspense up until the big reveal. And I want to keep what there actually facing a mystery until I feel it would be prudent to be revealed.
