RECORD FOR THE MEETING 20TH JULY

Writers for the day Terry, Elizabeth, Di, Kris, Ros, Wendy, Cath, Lynn

Words for the day

Yearning         Longing desire

Firkin              Small cask for liquid

Ambrosial        Especially pleasing to taste/experience

Pyrrhic            Victory at great cost, hollow victory

Ebullient          Exhuberant, cheerful

Transmogrify   Change in appearance or form

Non-entity       Insignificant person or thing

Brexit               British campaign to exit the EU

From these words came varied inventive stories with overtones of English culture and an unknown future.

Homework 

From the previous week Di read her story on a hometown dump.  The homework on 'Independent Thinking' of course produced thought provoking essays. The exploration into the reality of individual thought and if it really ever exists and when it is deemed to exist the conservative masses attempts to shut it down.  Reality bites.

Exercise 1 

Using words first seen in Shakespeare's works construct a story - cold-hearted, lustrous, savagery, swagger and watchdog.

Exercise 2

Using each letter of the alphabet in order at the beginning of each word  write a sentence, you can start anywhere in the alphabet.  eg A boy can destroy every foolhardy game however Ian just etc. or Like many nerds only perfecting quantum relativity soon tedium etc.  Try one for next week.
