Creative Writing

A small group which is an effective listening post for its members, sharing session facilitating between them. Members share writing derived from a writing prompt suggested the previous month and write in response to surprise items provided on the day, to test and challenge spontaneous writing skills and develop performance. Work is read aloud with a short discussion afterwards, which is why a larger group presents logistic difficulties. The group is a diverse bunch and the mood ranges from playful fun to more serious, for both poetry and prose. Meetings are at the Mechanics Institute. The group has sufficient members but welcomes those wishing to join its waiting list, and could support and guide them to form a new group.
