Wordwrites:

Wendy: Poem. Why was he so tactile, she wonders.
Cath: Behave yourself.
Elizabeth: Man behaving most badly.  But he was not a liar.
David: Bulldust - a hunger for wealth.  Not sex.
Geoff: Tony A. again.  Words cannot do them justice.
Jo: A soul of lust.
Pauline: Will limerence last forever?

The homework from last week was: Write about something not giving any clues about the subject.  
It was done by three members. 
Pauline's was excellent and about lipstick.
David's was about a waterfall.  Cathy guessed it.
Jo wrote about walking a dog and meeting another.


We did a quikwrite before tea.

'She realized at last it was over with him'.

Cath wrote - 'They had a fight - he gets into the car.  She cried.  It was over.
Elizabeth - She watched passers by - all glum.  He hadn't come back, but was down the street with a blonde.
David - Jenny.  Abused.  Blamed for not being efficient.  He moved out one day.  It was over for her.
Geoff - Relationships.  Naomi's not happy, she sees Dean pushing a pram - finis!
Jo - Innocent husband - wife wanting better life.
Pauline - About a worker who sees that her boss was using her.
Wendy - He started to wear her clothes.  It was her Dad!  She wants to stick him in a home.

Tea and then the next theme was:

A Policeman stood at the door. 'I'm afraid you'll have to come with me to the Station,' he said.

David wrote - Constable peering in at window - Billy Bob in gaol.
Geoff - A man escaping - gets caught - too smart.
Jo - Coming home to love.
Pauline: Stolen jewels.  Weren't stolen after all.
Cathy - Waiting for the bad news.
Elizabeth - Who is it at the door?

We ended the time with a round table write.  How on earth do these things sometimes make sense?

Homework: 'We had to join the queue'.
