The Rottweiler and Tea Society
For a number of years I've gotten together with a group of friends who are also writers. Sometimes our relationship is social, sometimes we're a critique group, sometimes we're a place to come and bitch, but in the end we're all writers and that, as much as anything, defines the ways we relate to each other. Early on, we decided that we needed a name for our group and we spent several get-togethers discussing what that name should be, how it would reflect our personality, what others would think of it. Some liked one name, some liked another, but finally after much careful discussion we decided on a name.
Which all of us immediately forgot.
After several years, however, we have a new name. We came up with it in a single evening, more or less out of nowhere, when we weren't looking for a name at all. We have managed to remember it for an entire week. And, much better than that other name (I'm sure), although also much more frightening, it is so the right name for us--
