Phoenix Writers’ Group Horwich, meets every Thursday between 10-12, except during school holidays at Horwich resource centre. Their book entitled Fleeting Moments has just been published and will shortly be available on Amazon and kindle. Anyone interested in joing the grouip can come along and just join in. There is always an exercise and Horwich resource centre is easy to find and parking is free.
Yesterday the exercise was about ageing and feeling lonely. We had about 15 minutes and all sorts of writing ensued. This was my effort!
What did all these things mean? The pale mouth moved again over the question. The queue at the bank began to shift. A young girl in uniform pointed at this service till.
‘That’s where I go when I get stuck.’
The mouth stayed closed. Some words were there, but rusty, shy. She didn’t remember being shy. The red bag had flowers in it for Henry because it was around this time…
‘Can I help you love?’
So much suit on so small a man. He smelt like a holiday. Where was it? He smelt like that duty free shop. Was he on commission? She looked around.
‘I want to talk about my insurance policy with somebody today.’
Three heads turned.
Was this the right thing to say? She felt so wrong, so very wrong most days now.

Hi Simon
I’ve been a member of Phoenix Writers for some years and am still enjoying it. We are a small friendly group of about 8+ and are a mix of members old and established with interests in all forms of writing. We meet on Thursdays between 10 -12 and there is a small charge to include coffee. Our venue is Horwich Resource Centre and is easy to find near the centre. You would be very welcome to join us, just turn up! If you want more details please email me Andre look forward to seeing you soon. Good luck with your finals!
Regards,
Pam
