hi
Last night was a huge success. there were 8 of us there and some great stories were developed.
We went over the 5 Elements of a good story - Character, Setting, Plot, Conflict, Theme.
Four new writers joined the group. Estella Zhang - estellazhang24@gmail.com; joannehemming@gmail.com; heather storey - storeyheather@rogers.com. the other person does not want her name on blog so Heather if you can give me a call I will give you the info.
no one wanted to take charge next month so maybe someone who wasn't there last night would like to give it a go. the group talked about what they would rather see - which was - that we each bring in a part of something we are already writing to share with the group for some constructive feedback. not a whole or long piece of writing - as this would be too much. but maybe a part of something one is having difficult with or an opening of a story, or a scene, or a character description, etc.
The reason for this - everyone is busy and to write something different there is taking away from their writing.
Also if after a few weeks we see a weakness then we could have a mini lesson on that topic and then do an exercise. How does the rest of the group feel about this direction?
For June we are each to bring in something that we are working on to share. This could be a poem.
See you all next month
Be well and smile
Roxanne
