Thanks so much! We just finished our last session and *I* will miss it. What a wonderful group. I was sorry to press 'end meeting'. I also have a feeling there's going to be some amazing flash emerging from those talented writers...

'It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.' E.M Forster died #OnThisDay in 1970.

#alicemunro was one of the writers who I still want to be. A genius who found poetry, beauty & pain in the (extra)ordinariness of people's lives. What a loss for the human reading world & she loved cats. @alicemunro_esp #writingcommunity @ShortFiction8 @ShortStopsUK @DevaneEmily

The end of another course with @WritingRoomOrg. Memoir with @gioiozzi. A thought-provoking & helpful course. Small groups & a knowledgeable, supportive tutor makes all the difference. Support is a consistent feature of their short courses. #iamwriting #writingcourses #memoir
