The Writers Room

Hello All.

It was decided at our meeting before last that we would start a rotational facilitator instead of all meetings landing on Noline’s shoulders.

Pete-James volunteered for this week’s facilitating.

A hearty welcome to Saoirse. You were an excellent first-time visitor and a brilliant participator – thank you. We all hope you’ll join us as a member.

Present: Noline, Avril, Saoirse, Pauline, Peter-James.

Peter-James opened up reading the comments submitted by members as to what activities they would would like to see introduced into the meetings. We decided to put this item on the agenda for our upcoming group workshop.

Next the group each took a turn at reading their homework pieces on Stream of Consciousness Writing. Wow, what a surprise! We have a group of experts. Lot of laughs and fun too.

This session was followed by a round of five minute impromptu talks. Once again each member participated and our group proved to be par excellence.

We have always known our Noline to be a champ, but once again she has risen to the fore by winning two entries to the Weekend Magazine Competition for her Short Story in Six Words. Congratulations Noline.

Noline Suggested that we have a general workshop to map our way forward in 2024. This has been set for Tuesday 20 at 3Pm, the Arklow Bay Hotel. Please make an effort to attend, we need you there: as individuals we contribute, as a team we catalyze.

Homework for next Library Meeting February 27th: ten 6-word short stories

Let’s Go Team!

Peter–James

Blessings,

Be Happy
