Thames Valley
Writer's Circle Homework
Regularly throughout the year, members are set "optional
homework", which is exactly what it says.
Members may choose to take part or not. The subject and
the impetus will vary - it may be a set of words, a photograph, a topic or
other prescribed method. It is hoped that this will encourage members
to use their writing skills to fashion a story, poem or article about the
homework chosen and thereby improve their writing techniques.
There are competitions for the homework, which members may
choose to enter (see Competitions). All
readings are on the same evening and are judged, either by an expert on the
subject, or by members voting on the night. Members unable to attend on
the evening can ask a nominee to read their entry. Many entries have
gone on to be successful in other competitions (see Successes).
