site, an old air con, people living up the road, the red head and An icon.
Reading of homework
Writers read out
their stories on the topics – full tilt at life, bitter sweet, E-books, death,
007, Patrick White, John Steinbeck, waiting and terrified.
The exercise
Helene provided
happy pills to mentally digest plus an exercise to write about. The writers
produced stories and poems about success and wacky weed, when I was young,
running away, rabbits mate, music, suspicion, going for it, spring blooms &
love, antibiotics, friendship and moods.
Dennis suggested
seeing The 8th day – French film about a man with Down’s Syndrome.
