WOWO 24 February 2022

A highlight every month is the MOTM competition!

It’s Mug of the Month time again, and eight members have sent in poems/texts around the key words BROOM and SWEEP. Voting for the new holder of Mugsy will be carried out, as usual, via the Doodle system. This is how it works:

Anne Murray will WhatsApp this to everyone. Open it, enter your Write-On name, click on the circle next to the text of your choice, and then click on SEND.

Several of our members are working on novels, and this week three of them are scheduled to read from their manuscripts. Besides hearing their texts, we can also expect some discussion on diverse aspects of writing a longer text, such as character development, organising material with the help of Scrivener, research, and self-motivation!

A short story and a poem by James Conway are also scheduled, as well as a continuation of Frank’s analysis of the very short story by Chinese writer Lu Hsun.

Have an enjoyable and profitable evening!
