Writing for Fun

About the Group:

Channel your inner writer in this small friendly group. This is a chance to explore different aspects of writing – fiction, non—fiction, poetry or memoir as preferred – on a wide variety of themes and specific aspects of writing, such as: incorporating all the senses, conversation, or short study pieces from particular authors. The aim is to enjoy and have fun – no pressure, no criticism!

We have met monthly since 2018 and have enjoyed the individuality of each member’s writing and learnt so much from each other.

Confidence has grown over the months as we have written, laughed and created together. Being a small group gives plenty of time for sharing, however we would welcome one or two more members to join us. All abilities are welcome.

At each meeting we agree on a topic to develop at home and at the next session we read our pieces to each other. It has been fascinating to see how different ideas and styles emerge from a single word or topic. We then have a coffee break and do a writing exercise suggested by whoever is running the group that month.

Topics have been wide and have included ‘the Bridge’, ‘Spring’, ‘Consequences’ and ‘the Present’. All themes evoke a wonderfully creative set of diverse approaches and styles.  Come and give us a go!

When and where?

Monthly on the second Wednesday morning of each month, 10am -12 noon in different members’ homes.
