Minutes of Scribblers meeting held on
21 May 2019
Present:
Dave, Tony, Kay, Liliane, Beryl, Liz,
Jim, David, Carole, Gerry, Jane, Cathy
Apologies:
Steve, Anne, Georgina, Justin, Derek
Business:
Bank signatories – communication with
HSBC is ongoing. Hopefully the situation will be resolved very shortly.
Anthology – draft has gone to
printers
Flash fiction session:
Selected three prompts to work from.
More than the usual number of mutterings once they were read out – perhaps
confusing to have so much choice?!
- It was no use pretending
- Elastic
- Oh wind blow lightly
It took us all a while to get
started, but after thirty minutes we produced some cracking stories – a mix of
amusing, thought provoking, emotional - a testament to our ability to rise to
any challenge. Some of us even managed to include all three prompts in the one
story!
Liliane – After the funeral
Jim – Untitled
Liz – Elastic Ella
Kay – Education, is it worth it?
Beryl – Time
Cathy – Suits you, Madam
Dave – On the run
David – The knighthood
Carole – It wasn’t me
Tony – Friday
Jane – So much hope
Next meeting:
4 June. This is the author feedback session,
and we will be listening to part of the novel that Dave is working on, and
giving him constructive feedback. Homework (in case there is time to read out)
is to be a short piece (500 words) inspired by the theme/topic
‘photograph album’.
