Well, the Adelaide Plains Chapter and Verse group has survived through to the end of one month, and beyond! We began in November, with high hopes, and fair to middling expectations.
The reality is that this group has grown and far surpassed our hopes and expectations. The quality of the work that's been written by group members so far has been fantastically high, and I'm sure group members will continue to produce terrific writing.
Those of us who were at the last meeting shared out short stories, from the point of view of a disgruntled kitchen utensil, and then a lovey dovey sweet talk from another character.
The homework to be shared at the next meeting, on 12 December, at the Prince Albert Hotel in Gawler, South Australia is this:
write a short story
based on a well-known story – biblical, myth or fairy tale, and change it by
using a different point of view, or change the details of the story, make the
main character bad instead of good, or in some other way.
Meetings are held every Thursday, starting at 3.30pm, and continuing until we run out of things to write, say, share etc!
In the beginning, there was a poetry group - Adelaide Plains Poets Inc.. This group grew and prospered, until... one person left, another person left until there was only one person left. That person, though saddened, wasn't destroyed. The group had been set up to further poetry, and further poetry she would! She continued the poetry competition, talked about poetry, attended poetry events, wrote and shared poetry... Then along came a project - Adelaide Plains Chapter & Verse!
