Dear Scribblers,
Forgive me for introducing what you may consider a link with a tragic and unpleasant event, but when I typed 6th August, the date of our next workshop, into Google search I was assailed with reminders that the 6th August is the anniversary of Little Boy (an atomic bomb) being dropped on the city of Hiroshima in 1945, an event worth reflecting upon I hope you will agree. My apologies if you would have preferred a pleasanter like plants in bloom in a local garden.
But perhaps you would care to reflect on this anniversary, the event and the setting as it is now as a stimulus to writing in whatever way you choose and if you write something, bring it along and share it with us at The Royal Oak on 6th August?
The workshop is booked from 4.30 to 7.30 pm. I am expecting that we will be in The Snug, which is on the ground floor, on the right as you enter.
As usual, the workshop is fueled by your work. Please don't feel it has to be finished or of a particular genre. We are interested in all kinds of literature, of whatever length, though, if it is long, please only bring an excerpt of up to 2,000 words or 4 pages of A4. Please bring 5 or 6 copies, so other participants can read as well as listen to your work as you present it. You'll get a lot more useful feedback that way.
Please also bring £2 if you are waged, otherwise £1. This goes towards paying a small deposit for the room and other costs, this workshop being run on a not-for-profit voluntary basis.
Please also respect other participants and their work. Our ethos remains supporting writers in their writing.
Any writing exercise that is introduced, as an ingredient into the proceedings of the workshop, will not take precedence over any work you bring along. You and your work are the reasons for this workshop's existence.
Looking forward to seeing and earing you and your work from 4.30pm on 6th August.
Now please resume or start scribbling.
Adrian
