Apologies were received from Martin, Dick, Barry D and Carolyn,
Those present for the evening were Dave, Barry, Liliane, Susie,
Ray, Tony, Les, Mai and Caz.
Ray’s story the 294th is being published in the Shoebox
Anthology for Operation Shoebox for the troops in Afghanistan. More good
news is that Ray has now had his books returned that disappeared from the
Scribblers display at the Library. Ray’s book The Fourth Horseman was listed as
suggested reading in the ‘Write A Western In Thirty Days’competition.
Dave has appeared on Felixstowe TV.
Barry D organised a nice article and pictures in this month’s SUFFOLK magazine.
Let’s hope the coverage will help to attract one or two new members.
The four words were drawn and the 20 minutes writing commenced:
CAZ : RADIO – RIBEYE STEAK – STOCKING TOPS - COAL MINE
Andrea worked as a volunteer at her local Radio Station
hoping to be asked out by one of the ‘dishy’ Presenters. It was a dream that kept
her amused until the tall, blonde Robert Coalminer with the
bluest eyes she had ever seen, was standing there asking her to lunch? She
accepted but went to freshen up, wishing she’d worn a summer dress and her
fancy stockings with their embroidered tops,
instead of leggings and a mustard jumper. Robert chose an intimate restaurant, and
selected a Ribeye Steak, whilst Andrea had a simple salad but
washed down with a tasty, fruit, white Chablis....
LES : LUSTFUL – TURBULANCE –
OUTRAGEOUS - ENSLAVED
A story about two cats called Red and Ready. There was lustful turbulence as the cats wailed their complaints against their outrageous enslavement..
MAI : SPECTACLES – PROWLING – ORGANIZED - COALSCUTTLE.
Doctor Andrews removed his spectacles that covered his
dark brown eyes. He didn’t ramble on but was prepared and organized. and
gave clear deliveries. He knew prowling the
streets was not the way forward but Public speaking was the way ahead. Suddenly
his maid entered the room to fill the coal scuttle which put
his teeth on edge.
LILIANE : GOODNESS – CONTINENT-
COMPETENT – SOCK
A spaceship hovered over an unknown continent
where it wanted to land on. The competent
Commander had explored the landmark. New earth full of unpolluted, goodness
where nothing was spoiled; where trees, flowers, grasses flourished. One crew
member lost his pink sock but who
would wear such a thing? Not even a female crew member.
BARRY M: BLOOD – SUPERSTITIOUS – TAKE-AWAY – TANDEM
“FISH AND CHIPS”
Robert and Mary had ridden their tandem up the hill for
a spectacular view across the fields. When remounted to go down the hill
they got faster and faster with Robert steering. Not superstitious he thought ‘you only live once’ and raced to have take-away fish
and chips for their lunch. Travelling too fast they crashed into the
hedge and brambles causing much blood to flow. Mary hit
a tree ending up in hospital. Was it an accident caused by a black cat crossing
their path, or for the insurance?
TONY : POINT – JUDAS – UNDERSTANDING - TAXIDERMIST
“Broccoli”
At it again – bloody vampire in the vegetable garden. Count all
the garrotted broccoli. Lord Longford was a Taxidermist, a Judas and a veggie vampire.
Hunting for medium rare steaks. When steaks are cooked we’ll cook his goose! The
point is understanding.
There was a long winding road to the castle with moving folk. At the gates
to the castle potatoes were 60p a kilo. Search out the veggie
vampires until the cursed coffin was found.
SUE : DEFIANCE – INCONTINENT
– INCOMPETENT – REBIRTH
“PUNCHING THE AIR”
Joshua – Beethoven, Laura giggled, not listening in defiance. We want no disturbances here! Joshua sit down!
Then told to come to me again. What would you like to be doing? Astro Physics? Let me see if you feel
Mannery Road School teachers are incompetent.
Don’t let me see you again, close the door quietly. He knew he was
destined to be reborn as a World
expert he just knew it. There was unusual damp warmth in his trousers; Incontinent. He still had a lot to
learn
RAY : GRADE – EXPENSIVE – OBLIVIOUS – CONFUSING.
THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
There was a time when conveyance clerks, no matter how expensive the fares, went all over the
country. Oblivious to what was
going on and confusing though there
was a fair warning of what was to come. A lovely grade of soothing music. The Little Drummer Boy re-ignited the
buried memory of the killing of Lesley Ann Downing. The killing was
recreational as if it had happened for fun.
.
DAVE : THRILLING – STATISTIC – REBELLION –SUFFOCATED
“CRUSH”
Her thrilling body and statistics led to the rebellion that caused the fiasco with
fire exits locked. Crushed, trampled and suffocated.
At the inquiry beautiful Amanda Lovelace was a lustful American beauty. Tommy
used to crowds. The one person, he had admired was her with her fulsome,
enticing lips. He.managed to get to the front, but the crowd were agitated and escape
routes blocked. Management stopped people entering by locking the fire doors.
They had to take full responsibility.
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 16th July
2013 in The Room at the Top in the library. There is no homework as it will be Critique
meeting for two members with ongoing work. These will be Les and Carolyn
(subject to confirmation).
Hope to see you all there, in the meantime ‘keep dancing’ sorry! Writing
