Captains Log 3rd August 2017

Captain's Log 3rd August 2017

Crew Assembled for Mathew’s Monthly session:

Tracey, KT, Julee, Janeen, Terry and including our leader, Les. Apologies from Sonia, Judy and Kevin.

Today, we had a general chit chat about the contracts some of us went into at Mathew’s last session. Tracey is firing with both barrels, shooting off her first chapter for some time, ready for critique next week. Yahoo. And I’m on track to complete the first draft of The Covent Garden Nun by December.
We touched on Mathew’s challenge to put some short stories into various competitions. Several members have submitted stories, let’s see what happens there. Good luck everyone.

Mathew pointed out that the Melton Word Fest is running from the 19th to 26th August. Lots to see and do. Keep the evening of Monday the 21st free as Tracey is going to try to book us in for a trivia night at the Caroline Springs Library.

The session finished with a flash fiction task to write something to the theme of: ‘My Happy Piece’ and we had ten minutes to complete. We had mixed results, all of them good. Some of us have our stories published on our Members Stories blog page. Today was an afternoon with lots of fun and good fellowship.

I am attaching my next chapter and we already have Tracey’s offering, so that gives us two to critique for next week.

So, until then - An tsíocháin a bheith in éineacht leat.

Regards Les
