Meeting 1st March 2017

Amanda, Juan, David, Terry, Di, Lyn, Pauline, Cath & Elizabeth were the eager writers ready to offer their word to be used in a story or poem, these words were:-

Gestation  -  germination of ideas  - pregnancy
Cornucopia -  a symbol of abundance
Myriad  -  a horde
Anarchy  -  lawlessness
Epicene  -  unisex
Quasar  -  celestial objects
Lunatic  -  insane

The myriad of ideas using these words were:   Amanda: A dream     Terry:  A lunatic poem          Di:  Space journey    Lyn: Brain overload   Pauline: The effects of the moon Cath:  Asylum inmates    Elizabeth:  Ants

Homework was read by:  Elizabeth  -  a good looking thief
                              Amanda  -  problem solver  - a poem
                              Terry  -   the pseudo tramp
                              Di  -  hidden character
                              Lyn  -  unpopular or popular
                              Pauline  -  a humble man

Suggestions for future meetings were discussed to help achieve further expertise as writers, some being to minimise "what's been going on" chatter at the beginning of each group day, to revert back to spreading the post 3pm exercises amongst all members, to again arrange for writing seminars/training say 4 times a year.

Homework:  "It was only a half-truth, but........."
