Inkplotters’ January Meeting

Leamington Spa Writers met last Thursday 30 January 2014.

The Inkplotters’ celebrated two recent events by eating a rich fruit cake: Pauline receiving a positive response from a publisher for her draft novel The Affairs of Gods and Men and Douglas passing his one million draft words target set in 2010. 

Members read out each of their 1,000 or so word stories, prepared on the January topic - A Visit. The varied readings generated helpful comments on writing technique, ideas for improvement, ghosts, laughter and appreciation of the creativity and imagination of each of the writers, especially Chris’ two men in black. Calvin read another chapter from his mystery thriller Turning-Point and received comments about his ideas for a cover design. 

A presentation is being arranged in February in Waterstones to the winner of the Inkplotters’ Christmas Short Story Competition.
 
Next meeting Thursday 27 February 2014. Topic – On a dark and foggy night …
