Today was the monthly meeting day for the Taree Scribblers group and a very lively session it was. There were ten of us around the table and everyone had something to say. Each month we set a subject for the members to write a short story on, maximum of 500 words. The subject for today's meeting was 'absent friends' and everyone had a different slant on the subject, from humor to pathos. It is so interesting to see the different styles and is always the favourite part of our meetings.
We're all going to be very busy from now on as we've decided to publish an anthology of stories from the members to coincide with next years Manning Arts Festival. It is held in the middle of the year, June I think,so there will be lots of writing, editing, proofing and deciding happening before then. I'll keep you posted as we go along.
This weekend Peter and I are going to Melbourne for a long weekend to catch up with our family members down there, so it will be no computer, no writing for a few days. Here's hoping I don't have withdrawals.
