My preparations for the York
conference, festival of writing, are almost done- session schedules all printed
up and seating plan is organised, it is just awaiting the artistic talents of
Mark Clementson to enhance my scribbles. I've also sorted out what to take to
keep warm and cosy, it can sometimes be cold, other times beautiful and sunny.
Taking boots and sandals along with a coat and umbrella! And of course I'm hoping my little ‘old’
car will make it there and back safely. If not my colleague will have to get
out and push!
I'm looking forward to getting some more feedback on my own
work and hearing about developments with my many writing friends attending
again this year. This is a social event as well as a learning environment. All
of us sharing and supporting each other as we continue to develop as writers. I'm
particularly looking forward to the Saturday night gala where much fun will be
had and just a little bevy may be enjoyed with friends from years past.
There are a few new agents meet along with all of those I
have known for years. As always my team and I will be ensuring that the schedules
don’t run over – or at least, don’t run into the next session. Thankfully that
hasn't happened yet!
This week’s prompt is to use one of the starting points from
below and creating a piece of writing of 1000 words which is to take the form
of a monologue.
- She sat back and sneered…
- From above I see you as an untouchable goddess…
- I perched on the upturned metal pal, my head between my legs and …
- Taking the last pill I began to write…
I hope you enjoy attempting this challenge. When you are
writing imagine that you are on stage and acting out your monologue. Most of
all, have fun with it.
So go on, get writing.
