September 2024 Meeting


 Meeting in The Spirit Room at Peepo’s in the High Street Bridgnorth

 

Tuesday 24th September 2024

 

Present: Adam, John, Sue, Stuart, Liz, Ruth, Jennie, Irena  

Apologies: Suzie, Ann, Andy, Kath,

Chair: Jennie

 

Jennie told the group that she and Liz proposed that only 1,000 words maximum should be read out from now on because of the growing size of the group, but also to make sure of holding everyone’s interest. The writer can explain before reading where the extract takes place in the story. 

If anyone disagrees with this, please raise it at the next meeting

 

Group task

To create a character based on someone you know, taking into consideration interests, strengths and weaknesses, personality, appearance, style and body language. And anything else!

 

The group read their writing on last month’s homework: ‘Cut’

Liz read Suzie’s poem, Cut’, but Andy’s didn’t arrive in time. Andy can read his next month

 

Homework

The Barn: write a short story, prose or poem involving your created character. 

 

The next meeting is on Tuesday 22nd October 2024 at 7pm

A great meeting I thought...Good to hear writing dealing with topics which don't necessarily fall into the "art must be beautiful and comfortable" category. Writing can change perceptions, has even been known to change the world... bravo, keep it coming lovely HTW people!😊😊😊

Glad you enjoyed the meeting Irena, so did I. It’s fascinating the different ways in which each one of us interprets the same subject matter. I am curious to know how all the characters everyone described will deal with The Barn!
