The Lounge - Write Start Relax!

[Twiggy]

Hi guys! Time to get to work - there are a number of exercises for you to get stuck into - start a new thread for each. Also read what others have written, and make some comments. These comments should only address what the exercise is about, not be picky about anything else.

If we see some decent activity a new exercise will appear! At that stage one of the earlier exercises will disappear, so take advantage while they're here.

There I was charging along Melbourne's busy streets- traffic noises, trams clanging, Big Issue thrust in my face, cold, wet, windy. Fed up. Then I spotted some stone steps and felt drawn to explore and there at the bottom was, bugger me, an English pub, complete with heavy beams, oak panelling, a burning log fire and most amazing of all every single person drinking there was a writer. What was really weird was some of them had been there since 2008 and hadn't spoken since then. Everybody was silent. I had a brandy (I needed it) and left. I hope next time I visit; there will be more converstion and animation then instead of weird freak -me-out silence, it would be fun.
See you around

Trouble is, Brownbarley, our pub is down a side street, and not many see the sign! So we're a small and cozy group in here. But I did see some writers taking note where you went, so you could be followed!

Writers SILENT!? Did you check their pulses? Most writers' gatherings I've attended required a huge effort of will just to get a word in, and left the ears ringing for days.

Hello,

I'm Blanche. I'm going to start on some of the exercises in a day or two. Christmas things to do in the meantime.

I'm nervous but excited about starting this.

And that's it really!

Christmas creeps up slowly, I find, then makes a sudden pounce!

Hi guys, I'm Andy and I'm very new here. Still getting to grips with how the site works but I'm sure I'll be posting like a pro in no time.
