Hello Wordsmiths
Sonia, Kristen and Terry were apologies today. A great pity
because it was quite a vibrant session and I’m sure they would have enjoyed it.
We had critiques for today. From Terry, Kevin and me:
Terry fled the field of battle, preferring to live and fight
another day – Next Wednesday in fact.
Kevin’s chapter rolled up in an immaculate, light green Ford Prefect. It stopped beside a
bright red telephone booth and our intrepid storyteller jumped out with his
caped crusader costume under his arm and dived into the booth. Sadly, as he
slammed out of the small edifice yelling, ‘Up. Up and Away,’ he tripped on the
undies still around his ankles and fell on his face.
Kevin now
has a little work to do on his chapter: A few dents, scratches fixed, and a new
muffler will see it back on the road again, as gooderer (special word for
Joleen) as new.
As my chapter was presented for critique and the air raid
sirens began to wail, I grabbed my helmet and waited in terror for the shot and
shell to pound my position.
With Captain, Please B. Gentle at the helm, HMS ICBO sailed
into a hell storm of fire, taking massive hits to her stout timbers (and a huge
Huuumf from Judy). Most bounced off harmlessly, and after replacing and
reconfiguring just about everything I’ve written, she’ll be even better than
when she was first launched.
On behalf of both Kevin and myself, I’d like to thank the
Wordsmiths for once again, helping to improve our stories.
Next year’s calendar is done (attached). I’ve put a fun day
after every five critique weeks. Except for July. I’ve jumped a week there, as
the fun day would have landed on the school holidays. As the fun day is Sonia’s
baby and she can’t be there during school holidays, I’ve put it on the
following week.
Don’t forget lunch at Golden Fleas Hotel, 12.00 on Wednesday
the 14th December.
As always, a fun and helpful day today.
See you all on Friday night to watch and support our
victorious Wordsmith Warriors - Sonia, Kristen and Judy.

Just changed the calendar as asked by Herr Les
