Harrogate Writers Circle December meeting
Our meeting on December 4 was the Christmas story evening of the Harrogate Writing Circle .
First to read was Joan who talked about a visit to a museum which housed an office which Dickens used as a template for Marley's office in 'A Christmas Carol'.
Then Peter read the story 'Start Turn' which was his Nativity play with the three kings, but transformed into a short story. Denise read 'Father Christmas Comes to Narnia'.
Pat read the final part of Dickens' A Christmas Carol' after Marley had seen the three ghosts and became a new man.
Joan read 'Christmas Eve' about a woman shopping on Christmas Eve. As she walked home it began to snow.
At home she made the dinner for herself and Jack who turned out to be her beloved cat. In between the stories, Joan regaled us with Christmas Cracker jokes.
Our next meeting on 8 January 2025 is a manuscript evening. Details of our programme can be found online at https://harrogatewriterscircle.weebly.com. If you want to improve your writing then why don't you pop into the next meeting.
