We welcomed Tom, returning after a
long absence. Also pleased to welcome Steven, who joined us for the first time
Anthology – Dave brought along copies
of our super new anthology, and reported that twenty seven copies were sold at
the FBF. Congratulations to Dave, Beryl and Georgina for such an excellently
crafted book.
FBF – Dave thanked everyone who’d
attended to support the flash fiction workshop – it had been well received.
Anthology to be sold as an ebook?
Ex-Scribbler Debbie had suggested to Dave that this might be a good thing to do
– in principle the group agreed – Dave to contact Debbie again to see if she’s
willing to help create the ebook with/for us.
Debbie (writing as Abigail Summer)
has donated four copies of her first book, ‘Collette – You Don’t Have to Say
You Love Me’ to Scribblers. We agreed that we will share the copies – read and
return for others to enjoy. Debbie would appreciate feedback on her work.
Reading of homework
The topic was ‘Lazy old river’, and
there were some superb stories to listen to. Also a poem (Georgina) and a
limerick (Steven). A fabulous variety of serious, funny, topical, and thought
provoking work.
Carole – Penny for’em

Steven – Limerick
Liliane – By the river
Steve – Time passes

specific genre of our individual choice. Chosen genre to be declared by each of
