Cleckheaton Writers Group meeting, Monday 6 May 2022

With thanks to Gemma for taking them in my absence:

 

Present: Barbara, Cassie, Alice, Gemma

Apologies: Karen

 

Since last meeting: Cassie has been planning, Barbara writing and typing up stories,  Alice has finished first draft of a picture book and experimenting with POV for Project Nightmare, Gemma went to Thackray Medical Museum for research and is reading Emotional Craft of Fiction. 

 

The group had a discussion about what Literary Fiction is.

 

Feedback: 

Cassie reread the scene where her character is remembering back, having edited it following previous feedback. The group loved it and thought the edits really brought the characters to life. 

Barbara read a short story. It was fun with a contemporary twist related to recent news coverage, and we all enjoyed it.

 

For next time: 

Cassie is away next time, so for the meeting after she will forge forward with 3 more chapters written. 

Barbara will write another story.

Alice is away on holiday.

Gemma will continue with research and read more of the book.

 

The next meeting will take place on Monday 20 June 2022
