March - 'The 2018 'menu' of writing sessions is now in operation'

25/3/2018

The 2018 Writing Workshop ‘menu’ of options is now in operation. Creative writing enthusiasts met first, with Jenny McKenna and Joy Shirley agreeing to guide the group as Helen Treloar Duggin has decided to focus on her own writing this year and is unavailable. Thank you Helen for your work in releasing the creative powers of group members last year - we do hope you will pop in to our pub sessions and share your writing journey with us!

The creative writers are now working on ‘a bed time story for children set in North East Victoria’ for sharing in April.

Creative Writing

Have you ever thought of writing a short story, a novel, entering a writing competition? Or perhaps you just love to write stories. The class provides the encouragement to write and the opportunity to receive feedback from like-minded 'creative writers'.

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, whatever works to provide a complete story.

Each class will include some discussion points or hints around writing, and perhaps a writing challenge. Then we will discuss stories written by class members, providing constructive feedback to help us improve our writing.
