We got the new year off to an extraordinarily fertile start this week with our freewriting session, which generated pieces on everything from the Dolly Parton Challenge (Google it!) to Nicholas Parsons and the secret life of the dystopian organic city. Some truly amazing stuff. More on freewriting here.
Next meeting will be Tues 11 Feb, 6.00 to 7.30pm. And as a quick heads up, on Tues 25 Feb we'll be running a special session on writing and mental health with Georgie Codd, author of We Swim to the Shark, which is published by Fleet this week. More on that soon.

Poem On A Wall
Writing group regular Wes has been in touch with news that his poem 'Chimera' is currently on display in the Law Society's Reading Room at Chancery Lane.
Here's Wes with the backstory:
Here's Wes with the backstory:
'I offered the chance to commission a poem from me as a raffle prize last year at the JCWI (Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants) summer party.
The winner turned out to be an artist and legal worker who wanted to display my finished poem alongside one of her paintings at the 60th annual exhibition of the Law Society's Art Group.
That exhibition is now up, including (I'm told in very small print!) my poem, 'Chimera'.
It's in the Law Society Reading Room on 113 Chancery Lane; today [15 Jan], Thursday and Friday 9am to 5.30pm, and Monday (20 January) 9am to 2pm.
I'll share the poem in full on my blog at http://whysweetlie.blogspot.
