We Did It At The Library

5 Feb

It went well yesterday.  Four Stockport Writers sat and wrote in the middle of the library, and as many as two people approached us, looking for more information.  Result! 

We will have a presence in the library next week (when we are running a free workshop) and the week after.

The real result, for me, was that I wrote four poems.  I don’t think I wrote four poems in the whole of January.  Dedicated writing time (unblogrelated) is such a luxury.

    Good for you for spreading the word. I have been blogging since waking up at 6.30 am. It is now 11.30 am. I should take a leaf out of your book and write on real paper.

      Yes; I’ll put them on my poetry blog later. They’re not great, but they now exist where they once didn’t 🙂

    Good for you! I find that blogging sucks up most of my creative juices, and I have nothing left for other creative endeavors.

    There are only three there – I counted three times!

    Are we going to see the resultant pomes?

    I couldn’t do that – if I wrote with a pen I’d never be able to read it afterwards. What’s wrong with having a laptop present?

      Cough…one person took the photo…cough…

      You will see them on my other blog later, if you care to look.

      I think you can take a laptop in. I always start my poems by hand in my notebook, though. I prefer it.

    Congratulations are the four poems! I used to always write everything long handed and then type onto the computer but these days I would be hard pressed to read what I had written. You look very studious at the table with the other two people. I loved the shirt.

      I write my blog posts straight onto the computer but I prefer notebooks for poetry, because I draft and re=draft and I like to see what and why I’ve changed things.
