Erskine Writers: Garden Party 2015

http://erskinewriters-uk.blogspot.com/2015/05/garden-party-2015.html

Sunday, 24 May 2015. On Tuesday, it was the Erskine Writers' Annual Garden Party held at Sandra's lovely home. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite as kind as usual and we had to make do with occasional wanders out to the garden where the bluebells were still in bloom. Of course, no type of weather could dull the enjoyment of sharing our excellent buffet lunch, with lots of chatting and the odd beverage or two. We had a good attendance as always, although we missed some of our regulars this year.

Erskine Writers: Writers’ Forum Tips

http://erskinewriters-uk.blogspot.com/2015/02/writers-forum-tips.html

Sunday, 22 February 2015. Writers’ Forum Tips. On Tuesday, 17th February, Wilma Ferguson gave us a wide-reaching overview of some aspects of good writing: a good title, age-appropriate names, choice of viewpoint. Wilma also stressed the importance of a winning beginning and of the four Cs - conflict, contact, contrast and colour to give depth and interest to what we write. However, from the outset, we were not allowed to forget that this was a workshop. Labels: Writers Forum Tips. Reading and Writing Blog.

Sunday, 1 February 2015. We had a bit of drama at the writers’ group last Tuesday. Not a physical incident, but a workshop on how we might tackle writing one. The workshop was led by one of our members, Morag Moffat, who is a regular theatre goer and has attended several drama courses. She was also last year’s winner for her sketch, ‘Dress Rehearsal’, at the Scottish Association of Writers Conference. The workshop was interactive, providing lots of chat and motivation to write a sketch. Writing Websites ...
