THE RAM'S HEAD REVIEW

PEACAN PIE


Margaret showed up with peacan pie as a treat for Bob. Bob brought magazines for Margaret, and I gave her some books to take for the library at her building.

Bob read first, a little more of Trayling and Waters. In the 1970’s they were asked to make a mold and cast a brass replica of a very large gold nugget. It was gold plated and put on display at Eatons, near their front door. Somebody smashed the showcase and stole it.

Margaret read “Rev. Peabody Decides”. He considers Peasly’s request for a lifetime commitment, while Marie arrives and refills his hot water bottle. He knows he can’t do without her so goes to see Peasly who admits he had been going to propose to Marie. Peabody had thought he wanted Marie as a housekeeper, so says he wants to keep her for himself. So of course, Peasly then tells Peacock that Peabody’s going to propose to Marie.

I started re-reading my novel, chapters 1 and 2, showing the scene of the second fire in the townhouse complex where Fiona works, and she and her son live. I’ve been re-writing, adding descriptions, trying to up the suspense by making the cause of the first two fires similar, and just cleaning up the prose generally. It’s a lot of work.

There is an extra Thursday in May, but the next meeting is still Thursday, June 5th at 7:00 p.m. here at my place. Hope you can make it whether you’ve written anything new or not. Writers still need to meet with other writers. Always happy to see you.
