'A reminder of prompts for May's class...'

29/4/2023

0 Comments

 
​With Joy overseas in April, the class shared their stories and feedback by email.  A reminder to members of the prompts for the May class, by which time Joy will have returned: 
  • It was a square cardboard box resting quietly in the “free box” section at Bunnings.
  • I was staring at the ordinary little photograph for some time.
  • She found it in the middle of the road and it changed her life.

    Creative Writing

    We are a group of people who love writing.  The class is for those who enjoy writing, irrespective of experience or training.  If you have ever thought of writing a short story, a novel, entering a writing competition this can be a good starting point. 

    The class provides the encouragement to write and the opportunity to receive feedback from like-minded creative writers.  .

    This is not a creative writing training course, but each class will include some discussion points or hints around writing, and perhaps a writing challenge.  Then we discuss stories written by class members, providing constructive feedback to help us improve our writing.  

    To provide a starting point each month we have a writing prompt, or a selection of prompts.  This can be a starting sentence, a topic, or perhaps a writing challenge.  The length of the stories will vary.  It could be 300 words or 3000, or even a portion of a longer manuscript.

    If you love to write, come and join us in 2026.
