Creative Writing Session

Dear friends, the points put on whatsApp are now outlined:
1.  Flash fiction 250 words.
2.  Supermarket War Zone  (fact or fiction)
3.  Great moments in my life  (memoir)
4.  Poetry  'The Unexpected'
I had hoped to make this a visual / virtual conversational way of sharing our interest in Creative Writing.  I guess my computer skills have yet to learn how to do this.  No worries.  Most important aspect of creative writing is to write.
We all need inspiration at times and yet, often we just need to give time to write.

The first point,  Flash Fiction is a good exercise to help us to make use of being concise and expressing ourselves creatively with short sentences and few words.  (250 words)  can be fun especially when we are challenged to cut back and write less, yet still keep the 'gem' of our creative piece.

No. 2 is more of a challenge, especially when the media are informing us about the Supermarkets and how panic can set in if they can't get what they want.
(police supervision in Lidl etc.)
Let's make this our own and distract ourselves from a crazy situation into a good creative expression of our ability to write.
(Francis MacManus competition is looking for Story for Radio of 1,850 words)

No 3.Memoir:  Great Moments in my Life!
How lovely to dwell on these great moments we all have and share them)
( Ireland's Own are always open to receiving memoirs)

No 4. POETRY!    'The Unexpected'   a heading to get us started.
Lately, I've been told that young children are fond of poetry,  Perhaps they can experience a certain melody in words.
    (Lots to share for our next get-together on 18th April )
