NEWSLETTER December 2018
Dear friends
As the year rolls to an end I would like to share a last few words….
The RDS creative writing group I started in September (for members of the RDS) this year has welcomed a diverse group of writers. We have heard writing in the form of poetry, short story, haiku, a play for radio, chapters from a novel, and an essay with a scientific theme. Each participant contributes supportive non-judgmental feedback to help fellow writers develop their writing skills. This pilot forum is running on a drop in basis on Tuesdays for individuals to share their writing with others who are developing their craft and are willing to give some time, energy and critical feedback to others doing the same. Non member guests are very welcome, so please contact me if you would like an invitation or to be included in the weekly reminders.
Discount offer — The Visual Time Traveller, normally €60, is on offer to you at €55 (if you have signed up to my email bulletin) and friends and supporters on social media. How about buying one to donate to your local library or school library or a teacher you know? I can come and give a talk on the book to help teachers, parents, students and librarians understand this kaleidoscopic view of history and human achievement.
The major landmarks of human genius and endeavour, whether cultural, scientific, political or artistic, are linked in pictorial detail, in a manner no internet search engine could ever emulate. Deirdre Conroy, Sunday Independent
And my latest blog cartoon is called.....Brexit Bulldog (there is nothing funnier, sadder or weirder on the table).
Have a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year
Warmest regards, Alison
