A reminder that our ‘photographic’ meeting takes place on Tuesday next (18th October) in The Room at the Top. For this meeting you should bring along a photograph or postcard that can be used as a writing prompt in what will essentially be a flash fiction evening. All pictures will be placed face down and shuffled on the table. Everyone will then select one and like magic, you will have your personal prompt. There will be a limited time to write your words before sharing them with everyone. This has always proved a popular exercise that has always provided many really great words. Don’t forget to bring pen/pencil and paper! The meeting starts at 7.30.
Here’s a website that will provide a list of competitions, some free to enter and might well give everyone the incentive to step out of their comfort zones and enter a few. Who knows? The standard of writing here at Scribblers is quite high and could result in a win or two. A stepping stone to real success maybe?
Coming up next month is our AGM. I would appreciate your candid views of the Scribblers, the programmes and homework topics that are set. Are the meetings correctly structured? Do you have any thoughts on making improvements to our format or introducing new topics?
On the question of membership, have you any thoughts on increasing numbers, possibly trying to attract a younger element to the fold? I have left sending out a press release until after the AGM.
I’d love to hear your thoughts that might add some spice to the AGM!
Until Tuesday,
Keep Scribbling!
