Wendy introduced a new way of prompting stories this month in the form of the Story Cubes she found last year. With pictures instead of numbers they present an intriguing set of possibilities. There are more cubes than those shown, but we decided to use just those images that 'spoke' to us in some way. Everyone had something to share this month and had managed to incorporate the prompts in clever ways, some quite tenuous, but still accepted by the group! Fiona shared a dark story of youths high on drugs accidentally setting fire to a tower, based on a true and intriguing story she'd found about Cammo Tower in Scotland. Michelle's partly finished story was inspired by seeing a relative from Australia the previous day, but also coincidentally had set part of her story in Scotland. Wendy's entertaining story was about her plans for a trail running challenge she's set herself later this year; watch out for further news on this, not necessarily in the Creative writing niche. March's prompt is an intriguing sentence Fiona's mum used when she was at school and Fiona revealed the delightful story that it was the one time her mum asked for help with her homework and then received a score of 9/10 for the result. She still feels guilty about the help she received, especially as it must have been obvious to the teacher that it wasn't her usual style! The sentence is: The last time I saw Bland he was upside down We'd love more members to join us, even if it's just to listen and join in the discussion about our stories. The next meeting is at Wendy's on March 18th at 7pm.
