What Do Members Say?

“The disbanding of DLS, Melbourne together with the long lockdown resulted in a period of severe writers’ block and inactivity. Let’s Write uses written prompts and photographs to stimulate ideas. After ten minutes writing we share an amazing range of feelings: sorrow, joy, fear, hope and lots of laughter and friendship.

After joining Let’s Write, I am finding inspiration to write again almost every day.”

“Paula asked us if we wanted to go to a fortnightly meeting schedule rather than our monthly get together. It was a unanimous ‘yes’. This Writing Group is doing me good, and I’m sure my writing will grow from the challenges of the prompts Paula selects for us.”

“Let’s Write forces my mind to grab a thought I have never thought, to gather moments that have never been gathered and create a story that has never been created. Or has it, but was just buried beneath.”

“I am a late-comer to writing. I joined the society after attending their 50 year celebration ‘For the Love of Writing’. What an inspirational eye opener to whet my appetite to finally attempt what I’d put on the back burner for 42 years. I joined the Society’s Spring writing group and Let’s Write because I was hungry to learn everything I could from others passionate about writing. The groups are full of encouragement with suggestions – both grammatically and flow of stories presented (it never sounds like criticism). I love how we are all different skill levels, some published, some like me – total beginner, yet united and encouraging in our pursuits to help each other accomplish. I’m extremely grateful to be part of such a wonderful inspiring group. I may be a total beginner but I’m never made to feel one.”
