Writers at meeting draw on personal events for interestin­g reading

- Maureen Armstrong

The July meeting of the Stratford Writers Group was small with only four members present, however, that didn’t mean the quality of writing was low.

Instead of running the 10-minute exercise, the group went straight into reading their homework.

Tales included the story of a member’s family pet that passed away and an excerpt of a story another member is writing about their father’s life during World War II.

The next meeting takes place on

Thursday, August 18, at 1pm.

The homework subject is Wonderful Electronic­s — love ‘em or hate ‘em.
