I should add that we are currently meeting in person on the first & third Wednesdays of the month at Avebury House, Newhall St. Email address in the bio for full details.

This tiny notepad may be representative of how much writing I have done so far this year, but are we dispirited? Not yet!

And this Wednesday coming we will meet to discuss a young lady pulled from the sea & a determined artisan with some interesting paper skills

It's not too late for a last minute new year's resolution...

In the meantime, here is a swan, on the somewhat nebulous grounds that it looks like it swam straight out of a fairy tale

[Brum Writers' Group @writebirmingham]

I have been away, and I apologize. (In particular I apologize to anyone who was caught out by the no-longer-accurate pinned tweet about where we meet)

Normal service will be resumed as soon as I can remember what that involves ...

We have a standard meeting coming up this Wednesday from 6pm. Come along if you're a Birmingham-based writer who would like to meet other writers. We're a friendly group who are very good at motivating each other and giving constructive criticism. https://t.co/yBMAmUpFaT

A number of BWG members will be at Kings Heath Writers' Market on Saturday. If you'd like to find out more about the group, please come and find us! We don't bite.

A question to spur the imagination: where did she go?

If any word at all is better than a blank page, allow me to present you with the word spartan.

Filling in the background: for the horrifiers - has this happened elsewhere? Did word of it ever get out?

[Brum Writers' Group @writebirmingham]

How about a random prompt to kickstart your writing? The word of the day is disgust.

[Brum Writers' Group @writebirmingham]

I'm not sure whether I find this reassuring or not - turns out the reason I struggle matching verbs to collective nouns (the team is? the team are?) is that in the UK both forms are acceptable. https://t.co/VN3FNw92tA

[Brum Writers' Group @writebirmingham]

I'm curious: what would you like to see here?

[Brum Writers' Group @writebirmingham]

Need to flex those writing muscles? Quick, don't think, write about the taste of blood.

A question to provoke a tale: what can with this one truth compare?
