A tide in the affairs of… writers

Not much longer to wait – the next meeting of Island Writers is on Tuesday, 4th December.

So if you haven’t had a chance to think about your assignment yet…

The assignment prompt from last session is: “Swept by the tide.”

Perhaps it’s a person, a treasured possession, something evil or dangerous, a special place or even a whole way of life which has been swept away.

Or maybe the ‘tide’ isn’t made of water, but something else?

There’s no limitation on writing style or genre –  choose prose, play script, poetry in any style or genre – whatever suits your subject and your preferred writing style.

Still struggling? Try completing this limerick:

There was a young lady from Ryde
Who was swept away by the tide…

Don’t feel ‘tide’ (sorry!) to this subject – simply choose a different topic, or get on with writing another chapter of your novel instead of ‘editing it’ for the 27th time.

Just try to get some new writing done. On any subject.

See you on December 4th at 7pm, Ryde Library.
