Happy New Year to all members, supporters and guests! We’re looking forward to lots of new writing; our opening session for this year shows promise of this wish being fulfilled.
Several members are engaged in writing a novel, and this is reflected in our programme for coming Thursday, when we hope to look at synopses, while writers will report on their work so far. A stimulating discussion may be expected! We especially welcome a new member, Carmel Leydon, who is also working on a novel.
This session includes short stories by Frank Fahy, as well as poems by Brian Ferguson and James Conway, which are always well received.
Finally, a Flash Fiction Challenge for all members is a novelty which will surely find lively resonance.
And not to forget our Mug of the Month competition: a maximum of fifty words of text – prose or poetry – including the two key words, which this month are BOLT and CLUTCH. Closing date for sending to Anne Murray (annemurraypost@yahoo.ie) is 22 January.
Have an enjoyable evening, everyone!
