General Chat

I 'hope' I have sent a letter out to all current members,
and have sent PMs to ZZzzz, Greenfingers and Dermot, if I've missed anyone or anything out ( quite probably lol) please let me know.

:-D

Thanks for the inspiration, Ann:-) BC XX

Very good Ann :) and perhaps for those who are already writing about family:

A place or person from your childhood, or your family tree :)

Just got in ( cold out there! ) so will send a letter out in a bit to current members and this list of topics to those who have responded ( and other new members who might turn up in the interrim).

Here we go then try one of these.

1. two characters, a bird watcher and a smuggler. The conflict is a conspiracy of silence. The weather is a thunderstorm. the setting a boxing match and the object to be included is a car battery.

2. Two characters are a pensioner and an 8 year old child. The conflict is uncovering a secret. The weather is fog. The setting is a family meal and the object to be included is a severed finger.

Or
A Brief encounter
A children’s story using snow, a lake, a horse and a dog.
A poem for January.

5 Ann, just got to pop to shops but will be back soon :)

Rose give me another one then Mau has disappeared.

two

OK now one each Rose a number between one and six for the conflict and Mau for the weather

Three :-D

Five :-D

OK. Rose for the first topic. Give me two numbers from one to six please. I have a 'fiction square in front of me. These numbers will give the two characters in a story.

lol sorry Ann, I was typing away there while you posted :)

Perhaps a short list of topics to set us off for the new year, so that we are all doing the first pieces 'together' so to speak?

If it's ok with all I shall ask new members to send me an email address they are happy to use to send and receive,( or whether they would prefer to use PMs for now) and then send out a letter to all current members to check that they are happy to share their email details also?

Blooming lovely our Rose :-D come one,come all.....and as BC says we are very easypeasy err speak for yourself dwarling ;-) but we are gentle and,seriously it would be smashing if we were able to have new members for the new year :-D :-D

A new topic please Ann? and also agree with you re. pms,emails etc.
Mau XX :-)

Welcome Jan.

Rose are you going to put the basics on here? i.e. are we reverting to sending something/anything out at weekends or are we going 'free flow' which is what we have been doing lately.

I assume you will pm new people with the e mail addresses of those members who are still active if theyw ant to do it that way. We really need to know who is sending/receiving by e mail and who by PM don't we?

OK watch this space !!! :-D

Yes please greenfingers :-D

Excellent Dermot ! :-D

Ann , if there is some good advice in there please forward snippets, and any suggestions for topics would be welcome I'm sure even if I never stick to them lol.

ZZzzz it would be lovely if you share some of your writing, we have all done bits of writing on our family history I think, it often gives a bit of encouragement or a new idea of how to set it down.

How lovely :-) Welcome!! XX BC

You are welcome Dermot.
