Hasn't the fortnight since the last meeting passed quickly? It's already coming up to our second gathering of the year in The Room at the Top. This time, as you will know, it is a flash fiction event which is popular with some and not so popular with others.
I wonder what you have found to do without any homework? You'll all be fresh with your creative talents ready to get into the zone of writing to a subject that will be revealed on the night. These sessions are quite a lot of fun. We'll have the draw for the theme of the evening, spend about 20-25 minutes writing, have a tea and coffee break, and then read out our work.
The meeting is on Tuesday 22nd January and starts at 7.30pm when the door will be locked for security purposes.
A week later, on Tuesday 29th January is our 'Christmas' social with a meal at the White Horse in Church Lane Felixstowe. Details will be confirmed at our meeting.
We have a very reasonable quote from Gipping Press for our forthcoming anthology which is acceptable. Now is the time to think about being a published writer - if you never have been before, then there is a really lovely feeling seeing your work in print. So please, on behalf of Beryl, Georgina and myself, start sending in your short stories, poems or other work for inclusion. At the outset we are suggesting two short stories of any length, which should be sent to this email address. Your work might be some of your homework from the past, or a completely new stories. The choice is yours.
The anthology will again include current and, hopefully, former members as in the past. The absolute cut-off time to submit work will be the end of February to allow time to check the work and formulate the contents. More details will follow later.
Hope to see you on Tuesday complete with writing material...!
Keep Scribbling!!!
Dave
