The evening began on a sombre note as we remembered our colleague and dear friend, Mairead Reidy who passed away recently. Memories were shared including messages from her friend Carol in New Hampshire. Scribblers will never be the same without her. She was such a warm, friendly person who loved her writing groups - both the Scribblers and the Orwell Writers' League. Generous to a fault, one could never believe all the skills and knowledge she had. She was a very good writer too!
Her funeral service will be at 2.15 on Tuesday 19 June at the Seven Hills Crematorium.
The meeting moved on to the stories of "The Crossing" which, again, showed the marvellous creativity of our writers.
Afterwards Dave shared approx 2,000 words of his growing story which he hopes to eventually publish - but there's a long way to go as yet! There was a lengthy discussion during which he answered a number of points that were raised and also drip fed some of the directions the characters in the story may take.
Our next meeting will be on 19 June at 7.30 (when the door will be locked). This is our photographic meeting - simply bring along a photo or postcard then, when one is chosen, we'll have a short flash fiction session.
Keep Scribbling!!!
