Great start to the new year...


What a great start to the year! The excesses of the festivities forgotten (well, almost!) and it was back to business with a bang.

A really terrific meeting with a wide ranging variety of stories and genres that kept us all wide awake listening to so many wonderful words that flowed from the Scribblers pens. It is almost a habit declaring that every meeting is better than the last... I can't guarantee it is always the case, but tonight the gauntlet was surely thrown down and the high standards set for 2019. Will there be a regular improvement to set an even higher standard than we achieved in 2018? On tonight's evidence I am certain we will.

There is no homework for next time (22nd January) as this will be one of our flash fiction evenings. The theme will be drawn at the start of the meeting. Nothing like a bit of suspense is there?

Three items to remember.

Firstly, if you would like to attend our Christmas meal and haven't yet told Liz, then please do so as soon as possible. It is being held at the White Horse in Church Road, Felixstowe on Tuesday 29th January with a 7.00pm for 7.30 meal. The menu looks superb with plenty of choice and very reasonable prices.

Secondly, watch out for details of a new Writeathon. It is basically an online story that will start with a single paragraph by a nominated person and then passed from member to member to continue the story with their own added paragraph. We held one many years ago which can still be viewed on the pages above, whilst one was also run by the Orwell Writers last year. It really is fun.

Finally, Beryl, Georgina and I have formulated a plan of action for our 2019 anthology. Again, watch out for details.

Until Tuesday 22nd, 

Keep Scribbling!!!
