Our Creative Writing group started their session on April 9th sharing children’s stories placed in the North East. These included a little boy making friends with the ducks around the Benalla Lake, a stray kitten eventually finding a home, a baby spoonbill whose beak was too large for his head and a family from Upotipotpon getting caught on a train in their pyjamas. We discussed the language used and the age that the stories would suit. For example, should the language be simpler, depending on the age that the story was aimed at. The group then discussed possible projects for the next session on May 14. “We will all write on a paragraph that will then be handed on to the next person to add to, with the aim of having some interesting stories by the end of the year. We can also choose one of two categories to write about – ‘I reached into my pocket’ OR ‘I could hear a growl’.”

Creative WritingHave you ever thought of writing a short story, a novel, entering a writing competition? Creative Writing is a 'guided self-help' creative writing session. Each month we have a writing prompt, or a selection of prompts, to provide a starting point. This can be a starting sentence, a topic, or perhaps a writing challenge. The stories written during the month are shared with the class for feedback. When meeting together, each session will start with a short writing or word challenge, followed by sharing of the feedback and, where time allows, discussion of writing hints and lessons.
