Creative Writing
The group meets on the first Wednesday morning of the month from 10.00-12.00. The session starts with a short ‘warm up’ writing session in which a member of the group suggests a word or phrase (e.g. ‘Against all odds’) The group members then write for 10 minutes. The resulting pieces of writing are then read out in turn. After that the ‘homework’, which has been set at the previous session is read out.
I hope it is a nonthreatening, supportive atmosphere; so far the group seems to be enjoying it. We meet in each other’s houses and there is always time at the end for a coffee and a chat.
Ideally there should be about eight of us in the group, which is about the right size as we all have to have space to write. There are currently vacancies.
