Writing for Fun

Status:Active, open to new members
Leader:
When: Monthly on Wednesday mornings 10:30-12:30
Fourth Wednesday in the month.
Venue: Victoria Bowling Club, Kirkcaldy

Always wanted to try writing in any form, flash, kennings, sprints, prompts, poetry, journalling etc? Come and have fun exploring different genres of writing with no expectations other than enjoyment.

The group will be playing with writing forms at the group, trying out new things to them without worrying about getting it right, just having a go and seeing if they like it. It should lead on, should they want it to, to further writing on their own. Experimentation keeps the ideas flowing and works the writing muscle. We will spend some time writing in the group and sharing if so wished, this is not compulsory.  All writing done in the group setting is first draft and will be accepted as such. 

Please bring paper and pens, pencils etc.

The venue has kindly offered to provide coffee/tea at £1 a cup and 50p for biscuits. Should we require heating they will charge £5  for the session.

The first meeting will be on Wednesday 27th May.
