Somewhat reduced group yesterday but good to have the six turn up that did. Introduced those present to the new project - yep - we are each going to write a book. This is something else we have not attempted before and it will be done in several stages. Saturday's session saw me handing out two worksheets to kick-start it. One explained the six stages which will get the Young Writers there, and the other was a questionnaire asking them what they like to read, what they enjoy writing, who their favourite authors are, who they'd like to be if they could be a writer for one day etc etc etc, so we have made a start. Assignment set was for a Book review of their favourite book to be written.
Next session is our Picnic In The Park Day on 16th May. We will be meeting at the library as usual so we can judge the weather. Obviously if it is cold or wet, we will postpone it but, all being well we will head over to Ashburton Park no later than 9.40. Please note I will need mums, dads or grandparents to stick around for this one as I will need some help, plus it would be for Health & Safety reasons. Bring along drinks and snacks, notebooks and pens. Not only will this be a great opportunty for the Young Writers to work in a totally different environment, it will give the grown-ups the opportunity to speak to me or ask any questions, make comments and suggestions - and it will give me the chance to get to know you all a bit. So it is a win/win/win situation!
Another reminder to please let me know if there are any spring/summer/autumn/Christmas fairs coming up so I can book a table and sell some more copies of My Writer.
Sorry it is a bit short tonight but will try to get back in a day or two.
