Recent sessions of Derby Scribes have been devoted to getting an oft talked about Scribes idea off the ground, a shared world free for all Scribes members to use and set stories in.
There has been lots of fun in sessions that have been less structured than normal and thus far we have a floating castle-like library tethered by a mighty chain above a small townstead. Large spider like creatures tear up and down the chain and in the depths of the library proper is a room that allows the 'reader' to step into the story.
Being that this is a library the many genres allow us scope to write any type of story we like.
The upcoming session (2nd August 2010) will also be devoted to hammering down specifics and listening to initial drafts of stories that explore the world then we will be back to a regular schedule for a while to give the world time to percolate.
Come join us at the library next session and have a hand in creating the world.
The session on the 17th May 2010 will be presented by Richard Barber and will be on the subject of Editing.
The session will be held in the Derby Central Library meeting room as normal and Richard asks that, if you are attending, you bring along a short (3000 words) piece along that you can use for the sessions excercises.
There will be a few sample stories for those that don't have anything to bring but to get the most out of the session it is recommended to bring a piece of your own work to use.
Hi Scribes folks,
Sorry for the delay between the meeting and this being sent out but I had to make sure members who had been assigned sessions were fine to do them on the days allocated.
Although attendees to the AGM last Monday were thin on the ground we did our best to work through issues raised by other members in advance.
Below I've listed things planned and actioned, if anything you raised isn't specifically mentioned then chances are it was bought up but we decided it needed further discussion with more people around.
The next Scribes meeting will be held on the 15th February 2010 in the Meeting Room of the Derby Central Library.
The session will be a showcase of current members work and an opportunity to come along and meet us.
It is a perfect jumping on point for anyone who would like to join the group.
