Woohoo! we have a new member!

I will direct her to this thread and hopefully she will say hello, but if she wants to stay anonymous for now till she finds her feet that is fine too :)

I will get back to you on contact details :)

Wow, some good ideas there Rose.

I wonder if anyone remembers that the first line of New Beginnings came from just such an exercise. (So I mustn't look at these ot I might get distracted, but I shall make a note.)

Hi Mau, ladies :)

A few ideas from the internet and a writing magazine

- Write using on of the following phrases as your first line

"After the door shuts and the footsteps die..."

"Collapsing under a canopy of green..."

Write a poem that describes a walk through a house from the perspective of a child.

Use the following sentences to begin: "It's not the street I usually go down. But for some reason, that day I turned down a different road."

Autobiography. If you had 15 minutes to tell someone who you are, what would you tell them?

Write about a place you know well, the real place not the 'tourist version', leave in the gritty bits.

A poem about someone in history, how they might have felt ...for example we all know Churchill's speeches "we will fight them on the beaches..." etc, did he have any doubts before D Day, did he ever consider not winning? Did he sometimes think, I should have left this to someone else to do?

Hya gang! hope you're all well......disappointing to see we have no new members joining us :O(

I have just sent out my latest contribution. Now need something to inspire me to write a story or poem?

I will put out another chapter tomorrow then. Would be good if we could start the New Year with reverting back to a few set pieces. Will have to look on the web for suggestions unless anyone else comes up with something.
