Hey guys! What excitement there was at CWC this week. With
(nearly) all members back in action, three finished competition entries
and chocolate biscuits, in my opinion it was the best CWC we've had so
far!!
So, let's start with the competition:
after much struggling over word counts and phrasing, Master,
DisneyLoverMolly and I, managed to complete our stories in time for the
club! We each had to read them out, which was actually pretty scary,
especially when you know your work is being heard by the keenest writers
in the Academy. After some issues over our words, where we ended up
having to defend our choices, we got to keep our stories more or less as we
wrote them...
ANT had a bit of a traumatic
week as some plot holes were found in her story. Like a true
professional, she took the criticism on the chin and reminded us all
that you can't improve unless you take suggestions on board. I'm happy
to say, she is changing the end of her story, hopefully in time to be
submitted along with ours!
On an unrelated
note, Master thought that ANT had some chips in her pasta... Wherever
ANT goes, a connection to salt seems to follow.
Back
to the writing now: the February competition is still on our radar but
unfortunately someone forgot the sheet this week so no progress was
made... I will mention no names... You know who you are...
This
week's quote's from Doctor Who and it is about Harry Potter. I know I'm
supposed to be promoting reading, which this is, but I mostly put it in
because I love it when awesome things cross-reference each other!!!!
Martha: So magic and stuff. That's a surprise. It's all a bit Harry Potter.
The Doctor: Wait 'til you read book seven. Oh I cried.
(So did I :p)
