The latest meeting of the SVA was held at Rob's house. Sadly, recent recruit to the group, Gavin was unable to make the meeting due to last minute family commitments.
We were flummoxed by the apparent lack of writing-based news and for the purpose of making the blog more interesting for our readers, we chatted about the following:
Annie was astounded by the power of the tea cosy and wasn't wearing any socks as she felt this wasn't the way to behave in public. For the record, Annie always wears socks and if she's happy, so are we.
Rob mentioned that Luis Suarez had bitten someone and there was much discussion that a sane person would probably punch people instead.
Izzie had to ask, "Is Luis Suarez a footballer?" Sorry Rob.
Linda had recently met a friend from her writing course who had no news either.
Tony has joined LinkedIn and had quite a few people connect. For the record, Sue (aka Melody) had made flapjacks and Tony's socks were full of holes.
Back to business:
Rob read Chapter 3 from The Petrified Fountain. This was well received by the group and the general consensus was that the chapter was understated, intriguing, atmospheric of the time and had great dialogue. Most of the group felt however, that the chapter was fairly uneventful compared to the previous two.
Rob described it as a linking chapter and said this was entirely intentional.
The next meeting will be held at Annie's on 8th July. Chris is going to submit and also hopes to attend.
And finally: Happy Birthday Annie. We hope you have a fabulous day.
A slight exaggeration, Izzie - I only had a hole in one of my socks which, in golfing terms, would be considered a real achievement.
ReplyDeletePar for the course, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteLinda's news was my favourite news!
