Next Meeting - Tues 18 June: 'Dear Stranger...'

Next meeting of the Dalston Writing Group will be, very much as the title of this post suggests, on Tuesday 18 June at 6pm.

We thought we'd use this session to launch a project and see how it goes. Here's the backstory: about a week ago we discovered, hidden in the pages of a random thriller in the library, a letter. It was addressed 'Dear stranger'. The author was anonymous. It was a beautifully written account of hope and regret. Exactly the sort of thing you'd want to start a story with.

The plan is that we'll each compose our own response to this letter, in whatever way feels right, and gather those pieces together for publication, even if it's only here. 

To whet your appetite, here's a bit of Twitter activity generated by our original posting.
