Writing for Pleasure

No level of knowledge is required other than an enthusiasm for the written word and a life-long interest in reading matter of all kinds. As the name suggests, we write to give ourselves and others pleasure. Homework is undertaken and read out at the following meeting. We cover writing techniques and different styles of writing, e.g. short stories, articles, poetry. We are self-led but always endeavour to learn something new at each meeting by way of positive feedback between members. We are not highbrow but we believe we work to and maintain a good standard. We have hopes of publishing a short anthology of our writing but this has not yet materialised. We wish to remain a small group in order to give everybody a chance to air their writing and receive the comments of the other members. We rely on each other's constructive criticism as a means of improving our standard of writing.
