There will be no meeting this Sunday because I am going away. The prompt for Sunday 11 October is Endangered Species and we are going to write upon to 1,000 words.

We wrote dialogue, with ‘Lucifer’ as the prompt.

This week we tried to write a story that was astounding but in the style of a particular publication. To make it difficult we chose The People’s Friend.

This week we invented a character and wrote about the best thing or the worst thing that could happen to him or her.

This week we did a story narrated by a child.

This week only two of us attended so we worked on one story with a ghost narrating his own murder.

This week we did some exercises in free writing.

Our plan this week is to write a story based on one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

This week the idea is to write a story based on a folk song, fairy story or another well-known simple narrative.

This week we are going to try an exercise in narrative non-fiction, in other words a true incident or event written up using all the techniques of fiction.
