The second Writers’ Salon of the year will be at its usual location in Kita Kamakura. If there is a break in the conversation, it would be interesting to talk among ourselves about the process of revision—how we approach it, how we handle the major structural issues versus final polishing, and how we know when we’re truly finished. As always, this is a get-together of working writers, published authors, bloggers, journalists, editors, book reviewers, and all those for whom writing is central to their lives, to check in on how the writing is going, talk about what’s happening in the publishing world, and share talk of the travails (and small victories) of a writer’s routine. It is also an opportunity to catch up with old friends, connect with new people, share your recent accomplishments, and talk about what you’re working on at present. This is not a writing critique group, but a simple gathering of writers taking a break from work. Small-item potluck and BYOB. Non-members welcome.
