This month's COSCBWI meeting combined the general and illustrator meetings. While it was a chance to wind down the year, it was also an opportunity to celebrate the successes of COSCBWI's writers and illustrators, especially those who participated in the Member Exhibition.
If you missed the Member Exhibition that took place on November 2nd, you missed one amazing event! The Amy Clark Photography Studio provided the perfect space to hold the gallery, and attendance was nothing short of impressive. The studio was packed with friends, family, and all sorts of passerby from the Short North Gallery Hop. Everyone was fascinated by the showcase of work and had wonderful compliments for all the pieces on exhibit. It made me so proud to be a part of such an amazing and respected organization.

Anyone who couldn't attend the event, or had to leave early, was invited to pick up their exhibition piece at the monthly meeting. In addition to sharing stories about the gallery night, the group members also put on their thinking caps to discuss some writing and illustrating goals for 2014. (The new year is just around the corner!) Lastly, members who participated in "NANOWRIMO" (aka National Novel Writing Month) gave the group updates on their progress. Writing an entire novel in one month is no easy feat, and it's always impressive to hear success stories from writers who conquered the 50,000 word goal!
Due to the busy holiday season, there is no COSCBWI meeting in the month of December. But the COSCBWI board (myself included) is busy planning meetings and events for 2014! Remember to "like" COSCBWI on Facebook or check out the group website at coscbwi23.wildapricot.org for all the latest updates!
I hope to see you all at the next meeting in January!
