A Roundup From WWG HQ
It's been quite some time since we last head what was
going on in the WWG. For the first time in ages, Sue Collins brings us up to speed
with the WWG News.
At the beginning of the year we decided to try and schedule a new list of
work.
Competitions
We all entered the writers Bureau short story competition the closing date was 30th
June 2007 the story could be up to 50000 words on any subject and so we await the
results and will let you know if we have any results. We can’t show you the
stories until we know for definite if we have won or not.
We also entered the Ware poet’s poetry competiton this was to be put into an
anthology, not all entered this but we’ll let you know the outcome.
Writing Beetle
The writing beetle was launched this year. This comprised of the whole group writing
a story and not knowing what it was about. Maria started the story and gave it a
title then passed it on Pam and she wrote the next page or two and this was how the
story developed. Poor Mike was unlucky one who had to tie all the loose ends together
and finish the story. The story was called Kin and you can read it on The Writing Beatle Page
Summer Holiday
The summer holiday project was launched at the beginning of July. This was because
of all the writers going on holidays at different times we asked Matt Bowen to give
us an idea for a story that we could all work on separately. Matt did and this is
what he gave us:
Location Hareston
Male character Robert Longwood
Female Character Sandra Mitchell
Include an animal, an interview and a holiday. No more that 5000 words. Closing date
18th September 2007. Matt will choose first, second and third place and all will be
announced here
