Fifteen of us happy souls arrived this evening - the largest gathering for some time. It was nice to see two new faces at the meeting - Peter and Ross.
Briefly the Book Festival was mentioned and certainly the day in the Furneaux Suite at the Orwell Hotel was well worth the outlay. Our own workshop, under the title microfiction, was a great success with many participants making an effort to thank us for organising the event. They felt it had been a valuable exercise.
Our anthology has been printed and was on sale at the festival. Copies will soon be available at Stillwater Books - and also we should have our stock at the next meeting. Suffice to say we have sold quite a number so far.
The meeting was quite a packed one with thirteen stories being read out from comedy, to fantasy and murder. Our two new members both provided excellent stories in what was a really entertaining meeting.
Next time Kay will read an extract from her work for feedback and then the rest of us will write a genre story - everyone present having drawn out their genre. 750 - 1,000 words are requested. The meeting is on 18 July and will start promptly at 7.30
