Yesterday was Thursday 13th December. This of course means it was the afternoon for the AP Chapter & Verse meeting. There were supposed to be four of us there, but in fact only two of us showed up. One of us didn't bring the homework she was supposed to bring, because she hasn't done it yet.
Did this mean the meeting yesterday was a failure? Oh no, it certainly didn't mean that! This meeting had one member's homework presented, and loved by the other member. It had a fun writing exercise that resulted in a lovely and heartfelt poem, and a weird and wonderful piece of flash fiction. Things were talked about, planned, expanded upon too. It was a fine meeting, by anyone's calculations.
And the evening didn't end at the usual venue for our meetings. Last night was the night of the Christmas Party for the North Eastern Writers in Tea Tree Gully. The members and a couple of potential members car pooled and tootled off to the RSL hall for a night of words and friendship.
Much fun was had on the night, with quizzes, a poetry slam, food and drink, and a new potential role for one of the members - a stand up comedian? Ah, make that sit down comedian and I may be in for that!
It was a late night, that's for sure, but it was an extremely enjoyable evening, well worth staying up for!
This was a fantastic, fun evening. Lots of connecting with other writers, and ideas bouncing around everywhere. Good food, good company and especially good because I won a prize (yay me!)
