Tuesday 3rd February
Again there was a good turn out bolstered by Brians’s Kit Kats and doughnuts. Apologies were received from Joyce, Margaret and Joan.
This was our final workshop on Flash Fiction adjudication in readiness for the SAW Conference in March. It has been a tough job, whittling down seventy entries to a final five - first, second and third, along with a Highly Commended and Commended. Also each member had to afix their own critique to the scripts consigned to their care. In many ways it has been a very refreshing exercise - seeing how other members of the creative writing fraternity went about their business, the ideas they came up with (and there were many!) and their finished article. In my opinion, it brought our club closer together as we worked on our own, in pairs and groups and eventually discussed the merits of those entries which were considered prize winners and worthy of commendation. All members are to be thanked for their commitment to this task and the time which they devoted to it and should feel proud of their efforts. We have therefore arrived at our answers and the prizes go to…………….ah, no….that will have to wait until next month!
We are back to normal next week when members will hear entries to our final competition of the year - humorous writing - winners of the previous competition which are yet to be read - a turning point in your life - and, if there is time, a modern day reworking of a well known fairy story or legend so it should be quite enjoyable
