Dear Guild,
Thank you for a wonderful year! Whether you came to meetings, submitted writing to be published, or simply read the emails or blog, it is greatly appreciated. We were able to put out 4 publications and publish 29 writers! I am already excited for next year, when we will put out another four publications and definitely have a reading or two.
Thank you to Caitlin Schriner for help with distribution this month and for her awesome cover art!
A special thanks to Student Association for funding and support, to Jes Takla for all of her help in organizing everything, to the Writing Program for funding our May publication and to Sherry Antonini our amazing faculty sponsor.
Be sure to pick up a copy of the May publication, "Eventually" now available all around school.
Keep writing over the summer and if you have any news you would like to pass along to the Guild email me.
Have a wonderful summer!
Until September,
Jeni

Spring Schedule/February Publication Deadline
Dear Guild People,
I figured I should send out word that we will have a meeting next week. The following is the Spring 2009 Schedule. As always, meetings are held at 4:30 in room 1302 of MacLean.
February Tu 10, Th 26
March Tu 3, Th 26
April Tu 7, Th 23
I should have fliers up by Friday or over the weekend.
*FEBRUARY PUBLICATION
This months theme is "Origins"
1. The point at which something comes into existence or from which it derives or is derived.
2. Ancestry: "We cannot escape our origins, however hard we try" (James Baldwin).
3. The fact of originating; rise or derivation: The rumor had its origin in an impulsive remark.
4. Anatomy The point of attachment of a muscle that remains relatively fixed during contraction.
5. Mathematics The point of intersection of coordinate axes, as in the Cartesian coordinate system.
DEADLINE Friday, February 20th. *5 page limit, if you wish to submit a longer piece an excerpt may be chosen.
Submit pieces to jcrone@saic.edu
*The goal is to get out 3 publications this semester at the end of February, March and April. We will be continuing with the one word themes. I'm working on getting more funding for this. Feel free to send ideas for potential themes. Another goal is to have a reading or two.
Another Important Thing: I've heard a couple clusters of people talking about trying to get together some serious, structured writing workshops for short fiction. If you are interested let me know. I would love to point you in the direction of these people. If you want a poetry workshop I can point you towards people. Always remember that the mission of the CWG is to support, promote and involve writers at SAIC. If you want to see something done with writing, let me know, I would love nothing more than to try to make it happen.
Hope to see you all next Tuesday!
