Thank you for those who were able to attend our class on Monday. It was a public holiday and not formally scheduled, so it was great to see so many. The contributions were as usual varied and interesting.
The topics that were covered were “Monday was supposed to be the worst day of the week. Today had it beat by a mile” and “Rain turned the narrow path into a stream of mud and dead leaves”. The third topic available was not selected by anyone at the class – maybe we could use this one at another time.
The contributions ranged from science fiction to a tragic car accident as a result of drink driving to the impacts of drought.
A few of the stories had quite sad or tragic endings, but a couple were certainly sitting with an option for “to be continued”. One of these was based on a previous piece of writing. Another contribution was also based on previous writing, but the member plans to turn the original piece into a full book, with each topic forming a part of a chapter – a challenge as to how to weave a possibly unrelated topic into something that fits the story.
Our topics for April are:
