Activity News!!!

Welcome to the first offering from “Inkspirations”, the Creative Writing Group based at the North West Resource Centre which is developed and supported by Building Healthy Communities.

We are a group of people who meet together simply for the pleasure of writing, whether in short stories, poetry or more factual writing, whatever we want to write, as a way of expressing our feelings about our lives and the world around us.  Sometimes we share our work with each other, sometimes it’s too private to share but we all agree that just writing “stuff” down can help you sort your head out!  And we have a lot of fun.
So please read this month’s piece which was the result of having to write a flash fiction based on “Annoyances”



Quiet Please!
The man made yet another call on his mobile phone and the “quiet carriage” travellers sighed and raised their eyebrows again.

As he finished his call the little old lady
Sitting opposite
Smiled sweetly, then calmly leaned forward
Took it from him and dropped it
In his coffee

“Annoyances”
The police sergeant clicked his ballpoint pen intermittently. Click; click… click-click, like Chinese water torture.
“So tell me” enquired the inspector, “what provoked this vicious attack on your fellow student?”  I revelled in the sergeant’s sharp intake of breath as I hissed, “he wouldn’t stop clicking his b****y pen”.

If you would like to have a go, we’d love to meet you.  Go on, it’s easier than you’d think and everybody’s got a story in them somewhere!!!
