Creative Writing
You can see some Examples of our Work here.
Aim: To become a better writer!
Objectives:
- To gain confidence in writing
- To learn to feel OK exploring different styles of writing or subjects or genres: sometimes writing outside one’s comfort zone
- To encourage one another’s writing with positive criticism so everyone progresses
- To gain insight into one’s writing strengths and weaknesses
House Rules:
- Respect everyone’s varied skill / experience level;
- Listen to each other fairly: one person speaking at a time;
- Treat as confidential anything which is shared in the group;
- No dissemination outside the group (authors’ copyright);
- Be aware that extraneous reminiscences can be distracting;
- Stick to the agreed word limit;
- Send writing in advance by email if possible; bring copies;
- Feedback constructively;
- Enjoy!
This group meets face to face, using email to circulate the monthly writing completed by its members in advance of the meeting.
Unfortunately this group is currently full but we would be more than happy to share our experiences with anyone looking to establish another group.
