Budding Writers

We ... write to heighten our own awareness of life ...
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection ...
we write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it ...
to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth ...
to expand our world, when we feel strangled, constricted, lonely ...
when I don't write I feel my world shrinking. I feel I lose my fire, my color.
-- Anaïs Nin

First Monthly get together - Nebulous theme

Budding Writers First meetingOur first meeting was on October 14th, with the theme "Nebulous". This time we had Larissa, Cathy, Pam & Vergil. This was that really hot Saturday, so we managed to find a lovely shady spot under a spreading fig tree, whose low hanging branches gave us a kind of private space, while keeping the sweeping view of our magificent Sydney Harbour and the Opera House. Each of us read our pieces, followed by a discussion of each one.

Update: For our next theme, I will post an image which can be used as an inspiration for a vignette, story, essay, scene from a play or poem - whatever it might inspire. I'll post it here shortly.
