This evening we welcomed Jane and Arlette to our group and the much awaited return of Anne after a short absence.
With a number of regulars missing, it was quite a nice surprise to still achieve such a high attendance of fifteen brave souls gracing our group.
The mission this evening was to take part in a flash fiction session and that is exactly what we did! The prompts that were drawn out numbered five in total:
The Rock and Roll Dalmatian
In a Hotel
Why did I do that?
Who asked that?
and
Show me your palm.
The brief was to write for 30 minutes on any one, or as many of the prompts as desired. There was such a diverse response to the task without all the usual grumbling that it was believed we might, just might have drawn out some excellent subjects which, indeed, we had.
Fifteen eclectic stories all penned within the time limit and, after a short break, read out in turn, each finding some positive feedback and comment.
This was certainly another evening when every writer present produced words that would have been fit for the radio.
Congratulations to everyone for making the evening so thoroughly entertaining.
Our next meeting will be on 1st October, when the homework theme is May Day. Although we normally ask for up to a thousand words, with so many attending, please feel free to produce slightly shorter pieces of work...
Until next time,
Keep Scribbling!!!
