Pewsey

Creative Writing 2

Our Creative Writing group enjoys the monthly sessions. The group is welcoming, and definitely does not take itself too seriously.

We’re a very friendly bunch of u3a members who enjoy having to stir our braincells and come up with a tale or poem. We currently have a couple of spaces, so why not come and enjoy a couple of hours a month reviewing the challenge we set at the previous meeting? These have included: From an Animal’s Point of View, The Tale behind an Old Photo, The Door Creaked Slowly Open…. An Overheard Conversation. A Disaster, Museum, An Anniversary. We circulate our pieces to the members prior to the meeting and the aim is to write about 2 sides of A4 - a bit longer, or even shorter. Part of the fun is to read the very diverse offerings. We also aim to write a 5 minute challenge in the meetings, but time runs away with us in enjoyable discussions. There is of course a tea/coffee biscuits or even cake break!
