This is the first chance I’ve had to post since Monday. We had a very successful workshop day. It was a shame Denise and Simone, couldn’t come.
David Gardiner had prepared hand-outs with ideas for improving characterisation for short stories. We all thought of a character, some using photographs he had brought. The idea is to get inside the head of the characters as the more you know them the more convincing they are in the story.
After our cold lunch Anne Ballard led the poetry workshop. We disocvered the fun of writing cinquains and a triolet.
Our next homework is Mowing the Grass. I think, for our writing challenge next time we’ll write cinquains and triolets with the subjects that we thought up for our 3 minute talk challenge, and we didn’t do.
The next meeting is the Mon 20th Sept .
