Writers’ Circle

DISCUSSION – At the September meeting of the Scarborough Writers’ Circle, 13 members met and discussed the importance of opening paragraphs and the power of omens.

Members shared the beginning of their own work, along with examples from established writers, to demonstrate the variety of ways in which writers can arouse the interest of today’s readers.

The next meeting is on Tuesday, October 11, at Newby and Scalby Library. The evening will be a readthrough of the entries to the Shirley Waite Poetry Competition in celebration of National Poetry Day, followed by an announcement of the winner.

The evening will conclude with an examination of rhythm and what fiction can learn from poetry.
