Meeting minutes from 23rd October have now been circulated. Summary follows:
- Aware 3 - has been proofread and is being sent to print. 50 copies will be printed to begin with. Thanks to Alan for his assistance with arranging this.
- Aware 3 Launch - we have been unable to book Astley Hall for the launch on 27th November. Alternative dates and locations are being investigated. If anyone has any suggestions please e-mail at chorley.writers@4tn.net.
- Low blog usage is a cause for concern. If anyone requires any assistance logging on to the blog, please e-mail chorley.writers@4tn.net, and user instructions/assistance can be provided.
The rest of the evening was taken up with writing burst exercises. We decided to each write two words or sentences on a piece of paper, pick one out of a 'hat' (or an envelope in this case!) and try and write something inspired by the word or sentence. Try your hand at one of these and share the results:
"After the rain..."
"The threat of relegation became greater with every passing week..."
"For a split second it just hung in the air..."
"Indelicate"
And if anyone is feeling especially brave, this is the Nicky J Poole Prize for Futility :
write a piece including : a parrot, a tumble dryer and a train journey. Extra credit will be given for including the new Paul Day statue 'The Meeting Place', see above for details. (I'm not sure what the prize is, possibly just the kudos for having made it!)
