YES, we will be meeting Tuesday, August 13th at 7 PM at the Atlanta Bread Company! The Savannah Writers Group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. I know sometimes there is confusion, but we do not meet "every other Tuesday", we meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays each month. Also, we had previously decided to cancel the August 13th meeting and have a Saturday social gathering instead, but that idea has been scrapped for now. In fact, let's discuss ideas for the summer social when we meet on Tuesday, August 13th! I'll see you there! Happy writing!

Interview: Hugh Howey by The Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy Published July 2013 | 8242 words Hugh Howey is a self-described “bum,” who for the past twenty years has bounced from job to job—computer repair, roofing, yacht captain, bookstore clerk. In his spare time he wrote science fiction, and after growing impatient with the long waits and uncertain rewards of traditional publishing, he began self-publishing his work on Amazon.com. Just a few years later, his post-apocalyptic novel Wool , typed out in a storage room during his lunch breaks at the bookstore, was earning him over $100,000 a month on Amazon, had secured him a six-figure book deal from Simon & Schuster, and had been optioned for film by Ridley Scott, director of Blade Runner and Alien .
