Well our next meeting is almost upon us, this coming Tuesday, 2nd February, 7.30pm in the Room at the Top.
Hasn't it be nice not to have any homework to write? Certainly makes a pleasant and relaxing change! This time it is a flash fiction event (we have previously called it our Four Word Creative Writing Session.) It's just the same as before but with a different title.
All you need to do is bring along four words each written on a small and separate slip of paper which will be dropped into a hat when you arrive at the meeting. The idea is to draw out four words (not your own) include each in a timed short story, then, finally, sharing your work with the group.
This kind of meeting has always been quite popular and draws out an eclectic collection of stories. Just one thing - please remember to bring writing material with you!
On the subject of short stories I see that Elodie Harper, a local ITV news reporter, has won a short story writing competition that was judged by none other than Stephen King. Her entry is online and can be read here:
