| Venue: | To be advised |
Formed in June 2017, we are a small group of people on a 'learning journey' to discover what it is we each hope to gain of being part of a Creative Writing Group.
Our aim is to have freedom to explore our own skills in writing pieces from across the spectrum:- from poetry to drama of any kind; short stories; newspaper 'articles' - whatever inspires us. We hope to learn from each other, support and encourage everyone, be helpful in giving feed-back and generally enjoy ourselves during our monthly get-together.
There is absolutely no pressure - if you can't make a contribution one month, that's no problem - and if you want share why, there is plenty of time to discuss if you wish. Our aim is to enjoy the session: we do a ten minute exercise having been given the theme by one person in the group on a rota basis; similarly one person per month will give us what the next month's 'homework' is, giving us plenty of time to think about and commit to paper before the next meeting. Amazing what can pop out, as Henry Miller said: 'Ideas are like rabbits...you have a couple...and pretty soon you have half a dozen!'
At present the Group is full but if you would like to add your name to the waiting list please contact the Convenor via the bird.
