Stream of consciousness stories written at the Cliffside Village Writer’s Group.
Sometimes during the writer’s group you get a prompt and immediately know what you’re going to do with it. Everything clicks into place. You start writing without hesitation thinking to yourself I’ve got this. Other times, you get the prompt and all the words you’ve ever known drain from...
We are two weeks into the second writing session of the year and our writing spirits are high. I’m delighted to hear that some of the members have been motivated to continue writing on their own time. Also it seems most are happy enough with what they produce at...
One of my favourite parts of the writer’s group is getting to see all the different ways people use the prompts. Not just in terms of how their story differs from mine (although that is wonderful), but seeing how they approach the task every week. Trying new techniques (using...
A fun writer’s group (a couple weeks ago now) that produced a story I’m kind of interested to continue. A few of the stories that I’ve started through the group have had potential to continue into something interesting, but they’ve never been high on my list of writing priorities....

By popular demand the writer’s group will be extended an extra four weeks! More info on that later, and probably not here because I’m not overly convinced that this gets read very often or is the kind of place people go to for current or relevant information. It is...
This week’s writer’s group was lots of fun. So was last weeks but I was being lazy and distracted and didn’t actually post anything about it. I’d be sorry but honestly you’re better off, my stories last week were not up to my usual mediocre standard of stream of...
Last night the writer’s group reconvened, with mostly new members. I for one had a lovely time, it’s hard to go wrong with nice people who are eager to write. The format remained the same, a prompt is given and we have 20 minutes to use it however we’d...
