WRITING
CREATIVE WRITING
Convenor Marianne Wright email mw@davidsthomson.plus.com
This small and very friendly group meets for two hours on the first Monday morning of each month between 10am and noon. A topic is chosen and then members will read out their effort for a little kindly criticism, and much praise, in order for us to all improve. After coffee we undertake a short exercise and set the topic for the next month. Below is a short story that was written by a member of our group, and it shows that the topics we set each month do not need to be big to be beautiful! I hope it will encourage others to see that the group can be fun and not too arduous, and the biggest fun is in the difference of everybody's contributions. I Visitors who want to have a "taster" are always very welcome. If you would like to join us for a taster please contact Marianne Wright on 01989 762949 or e-mail mw@davidsthomson.plus.com

Vicky's Bowl of Keys by Vicky Bagley
A Telephone Conversation with an Old Friend by Anna Antebi
Hello, how are you ? Nothing new here. The sun is shining in a clear blue sky. The garden is lush and there is a softness in the summer air. Nothing new.
Nothing new here. Some people moved in next door. They seem charming and friendly so nice after the house had stood empty for so long. They expressed a hope that we would be long term neighbours. They have a lovely dog who is also very friendly, and they say I can take him out for walks if I want to. Nothing new though !
Nothing new here. Had a bit of a health scare but all is well. Miss you tho’ Had some visitors and we all enjoyed tripping into the past. They were well although ageing - What’s new ?
Really, nothing new here. One day follows another. I can remember when all this “nothing” was full of promise. The future beckoned and all was possible. Really nothing has changed only the perspective.
No, nothing new here.
Isn’t it wonderful ? !!!!
