I am thinking of starting a small short story writing group. The idea is that budding short story authors get together monthly to encourage and critique each others short stories. The aim is to encourage those of us (like me) that are keen to write but need a nudge to get started, and to provide a friendly group to provide feedback and support.


I think I would try to keep the group to around five and aim to meet in each other's houses for a few hours in the evening once a month.


If you're interested in joining, and have the will to write a short story, or are already writing short stories, let me know and I'll start to make arrangements.


Please send me a PM telling me a little about yourself and your literary ambitions. I'm 40, male and would like to write crime fiction.

Do you know that we already have a local and very active writers' group in the area? East Dulwich Writers' Group has been going for about 12 yrs and we have well over 200 people on the mailing list. We've managed to keep meetings small and informal and have people on the list who are at every stage of the writing process, from people just starting out to published authors and competition winners. See www.edwg.co.uk for details.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
