It may surprise you that most u3a Members have the potential to write fiction - if you have ever told a friend about a trip you've been on or described a funny incident you saw when you were out shopping, you have the skills you need to write - it's all about noticing something interesting enough to make you want to tell someone about it. It could be something you read in the paper or see on TV, a fragment of something overheard on the bus, anything can create a spark that ignites into a story. And once you get going, who knows where it will lead you?
The creative writing group has spaces for anyone who would like to practice using their imagination - it's a great way to keep the brain cells active. This could be the perfect time to give writing a go!
Anne Ludlowe, author, has made a video for The Third Age Trust with advice about creative writing, click here to watch it: u3a Creative Writing video Click here to get more tips on Creative writing.
If you haven’t written anything since school days or you have always been scribing away, the Creative Writing Group would welcome you as a member.
Our format is that we write a short piece of fiction (a couple of pages), read it to the group then we chat about our stories. You can write in any genre - fantasy, romance, crime thriller, mystery, science fiction, whatever you enjoy reading or writing.
We meet once a month in the afternoon of the second Monday of the month.
