Attribute Error

After running the script I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "journal.py", line 40, in <module>
    initialize()
  File "journal.py", line 21, in initialize
    db.create_tables([Entry], safe=True)
  File "/Users/jeffreycovington/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/peewee.py", line 3826, in create_tables
    create_model_tables(models, fail_silently=safe)
  File "/Users/jeffreycovington/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/peewee.py", line 5268, in create_model_tables

AttributeError: type object 'Entry' has no attribute '_meta'

Note: I called my file journal.py

Any ideas?

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Did you include the Meta definition in the Entry class definition:

class Entry(Model):

    class Meta:
