First thoughts...

I can't believe how well the group is going! We had our first gathering on 12th September, and have met up 6 times so far. The Crossing Club is a great venue for us - we have adopted a cosy corner where we can lose ourselves in great writing, supplemented with interesting ales.  It’s still early days, but we’ve got a hard-core of regulars already, some of whom have been writing for years, and some are newer to it but have become incredibly enthusiastic and prolific!

 I love the variety of themes and styles we have each week.  We’ve had interesting and comical autobiographies; we’ve had local history; we’ve had murder, romance, domestic violence, witches, wizards and, this week, a lesson in friendship and some mysterious pigs!

iPhone users, if you download Opuss from the app store, you can read Caroline’s excellent romantic serialised mini-epic, as well her quirky and often hilarious musings on life and death.  (Search for ‘the_rop’.)  You can also read my dark tales with surprising twists.  (Search for ‘antony’.)

New members are always welcome!  Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 5^th December at 8:30 in the Crossing Club at Grosmont.
