Write Now! is a writers' group that meets in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England twice a month.
Meeting - 15th june 2010
Present: George, Jeanne, Eleanor, Julian, Pat, Tereza, Nigel, Wilf, Tony, Rosie, Eamonn, David, Suzanne
Chair: Pat
There were thirteen of us at last night's meeting. It was Eamonn's first time, so we did the usual introductions. Subs were paid as friends caught up with news and gossip. Soon we all had a glass of something in front of us and, as time ticked by, Pat grasped the rudder of events firmly and pointed us in the direction of readings.
There was a quick-fire succession of performances, from first chapters of works in progress to short pieces of non-fiction, short stories, and some worthy attempts at the set task from the previous get-together. The colours of the sun setting behind the church was a brief distraction, but as usual the standard of work was high, and under Pat's guidance the meeting was brought to a conclusion bang on time, just as the light faded over Woolpit.
The car park emptied and I left with the usual buzz, i.e. more ideas and insights than I had arrived with.
Thank you for that, and best wishes to all,
George Wicker
co-founder, Write Now!
