We opened the meeting with birthday wishes for Rob celebrating his 21st birthday or maybe just slightly older than that. Box of Maltesers kept the energy levels up during the afternoon session this was on open manuscripts.
Sandra gave us a flavour of book 22 of the Lorimer series, reading the first chapter. Rob provided us with two short pieces that he is writing for his granddaughters in Canada. The first entitled ' Lightening Strikes Out' based on the Komodo Dragon 'Calat' who sadly passed away this year at the age of thirty.
The second was entitled 'Fried and Prejudice' this was informing us of Rob's love for a good breakfast which he has a top ten. This story was the breakfast he discovered at St Lawrence Market in Yianni's Kitchen a Greek Restaurant his piece left the group salivating but we had to make do with the Maltesers!
John provided a short flash fiction (100 words) based on the nine words extracted from Tuesday's Wordle and Quordle.
Jeannie read a new chapter from the book she is currently writing. The chapter was entitled 'The Hawk' which centred on the first night of the Clydebank bombings. A very powerful piece of prose.
Jackie read her Woman's Short Story entitled "Nobody's Trophy, very well received by all the group.
The meeting closed with Lorna providing feedback from the event she attended in Musselburgh which was informing the audience on Kindle Direct Publishing. The group appreciated the information and handout from Lorna.
