This Week’s Reflection
“Any writer who has difficulty in writing is probably not onto his true subject, but wasting time with false, petty goals; as soon as you connect with your true subject you will write.” Joyce Carol Oates

This Week’s OWG Post

Try to relive it as much as possible: what were you wearing? What did you smell? What did you think about? Reposted from fellow organiser Gal Podjarny’sContinue reading “The Week That Was”

Welcome to the Original Writers
Please come along to our online meetings. Even if you are just starting out and are just interested in writing, but have nothing to read, come along and experience the evening. As sometimes, the best motivation to write is to hear how others got there before you.
We have many members: poets, novelists, playwrights, scriptwriters, historians, and philosophers. It is a rich mix and makes a lively evening. Bring your work, whether short stories, poems, essays or just ideas and join us for an evening of chatting, sharing, planning, commiserating, pontificating – and all things about writing. This is the perfect place to workshop your writing.
Occasionally writers ask if they can read from their published work. This doesn’t work for us as part of the enjoyment for listeners is in giving feedback. A published book is like a word carved in stone. There is nothing we can say, and that is most disappointing. So we stick to work in progress, whether that is a first or tenth draft. That’s when the group works best – both for the writer and the listener.
