What does the writing group mean to me?

First, it lets me see that I am not the only person in West Cork tapping away on my computer.

Secondly, you need never be stuck for inspiration as there is always the weekly challenge to fall back on. This is not a compulsory exercise and you can make it fun or serious depending on your mood.

Lastly I find like minded people to talk with and listen to for an hour very refreshing, especially as no one is going to be patronising about your work…..We all started feeling our way gradually until with confidence you can lift your head above the parapet and defend your own work.

Next year the meeting will be taking a new turn, a monthly day-time meeting will be held in Skibbereen Library and the Friday night meetings will continue with a specific programme so that no one will have an excuse to miss their favourite topic

We will still have the opportunity to readout the topic and any other work needing some constructive in put.
