The theme was ‘Story Roots and Cultivation’
During the evening we explored the many different ways in which stories originate and evolve towards their final form. Their inspiration, sources and transformations, literary influences and, critically, how a writer’s emotional input can lend greater depth to a story. Those attending were encouraged to consider a fictional story of their own, and what inspired them. What unexpected turns did they take in the writing? What was the emotional involvement of the author?
A workshop was completed where we discussed various stories from members and their particular genesis and development.
