Writers Group.

This morning was my Writers Group, a lot of people had work to read out. As the new girl, I had not realised that in the half term break, they write ghost stories. Two in particular were very good, a bit more spine chilling and frightenie than I would have preferred. I am not very brave - the sort that hid behind the sofa when Dr. Who was on, or now I am older I stick a book in front of me, so I cannot see something I don't like.

The writing of the other Members always seems so much more accomplished than mine. I do read out something whenever I can, because I think it is the only way to improve. I did a piece on the decline of the small shop since the sixties. They did receive it very well, the teacher suggested that I submit it to a Newspaper. That made me feel really pleased, I now have to find out how to approach a Newspaper.

Our homework is to choose one of four subjects and write a piece in the 1st person, I have chosen to write about a five year old boy getting lost. Then write a piece about his mother, in the 3rd person, and finally the piece done from the omniscient point of view. I rushed off the first piece easily, with no difficulties, but am struggling with the second version. Will definately have to think about this.
