Calling all fledgling writers in the Maldon area of Essex.
Is any one interested in starting an informal writers circle to meet up with a view to exchanging ideas and offer each other much needed encouragement?
If so, please contact me on simon.bunnell@virgin.net

Good luck with that. We had one locally for a while, but it became so self-indulgent it turned out to be a crap circle.

A writers circle in Essex sounds abt as likely as a gourmet club in Mogadishu (bless you)....

Do you never get tired of trotting out the same sad old stereotypes? Everytime Essex is mentioned you go through the same hackneyed lines.Not only are you boring but way behind the times. Sad for someone who calls himself a writer. Oh I forgot, you're a journalist. See I can do it too, cheap shots are easy and require no skill.

It's a bit like your pathetic line about the Greeks further up the board. And the fact given any chance you make some leering, dirty little 'Carry On' sort of 'joke'.

Save me from middle-aged old farts who think they are just soooo funny. I bet you give women the creeps.

Someone should write something about the sad old stereotypes who frequent writing MB's, lol (including moi, of course). It's already been done about the writing group - somewhere on the web is a hilarious 'diary' supposedly documenting the experiences of someone joining a writing group. (note: it ends badly and includes a coup of leadership, someone hiding in a cupboard to spy on the others, and much stealing of ideas).

Oh, another one was people writing thinly disguised stories documenting the foibles of the other writers.

Amidst all the fire & brimstone on the site today I missed this gem.
Dear Silk, I don't expect you to like what I post but I do get pissed off when pple like you start throwing around yr personal problems.
From the tone of yr post I cd imagine and accuse you of all sorts of things, but I choose not to follow yr style.
I'll just close by saying tt I hv a beautiful and intelligent wife....
If you have one a third as good in either field, then you are a lucky person.
BTW, SJB, I accept tt I p'raps got a little near the knuckle.
Apologies if it came over as offensivve, & I wish you well with getting together yr writers' circle.

If Silk has personal problems then obviously I do too as I find your constant Essex girl jokes tedious and passé, and the smutty remarks you can't resist both juvenile and creepy.

Yes, I can avoid you on the MB and usually manage to so but wanted Silk to know he is certainly not alone in his opinions.

I have personal problems - should I join a writer's group? Will that help me? It won't make them worse, will it?

Easy to buy out your way, I understand. Was she expensive? Can she do the thing with ping-pong balls?

Come on, Carole, get that sock of yours out.

I don't wear socks, I'm telling you. Sweetie sock is much more knowledgeable about foot fashion than me.
