P, N, J, D and myself (L had passed on her apologies) were in attendance and as it was the last meeting before Christmas we decided that the meetings should start up again from the 6 December and then fortnightly thereafter.
P shared an article in the Writing Magazine that was a critique of a writers first pages of their manuscript that had 39 points of criticism and only one good note. We also found out about a few writing competitions coming up that members may have work suitable for, in particular Angry Robot (deadline 31 December), Swanwick Writers School and Divine Chocolate.
J shared some of the script for the radio play 'This gun in my left hand is loaded' that is a funny take on how not to write a radio play.
D recommended the Monday evening twitter children's literature Q&A session 7.30-8.30pm, details of which can be found on the SCBWI website.
The CWG will meet again on Monday 6 January 2014 6-8pm at Cleckheaton Library. New members always welcome.
