Diana E. Backhouse commented on Simon Kewin's blog post His New Body"Do that, Simon. I can see quite a few of the 6S stories being developed into longer ones. Six sentences is about my concentration span at the moment, between doing other things, but who knows what the future will bring. My hubby and I have plans for…"
Simon Kewin commented on Simon Kewin's blog post His New Body"Thanks Diana. Yes, it's good to put one to a good use. This little story stayed with me, actually, and has turned into 3000 word short story. I'll let you know if and when it appears!"
Diana E. Backhouse commented on Simon Kewin's blog post His New Body"Just stumbled upon this, Simon. I have an affinity with abandoned traffic cones, so am pleased to see that you have made good use of one."
Simon Kewin left a comment for Cath Barton"OK! My elder daughter is going in for an operation on the 24th (nothing too serious) so the 23rd is out this month I'm afraid. But perhaps March?
Many thanks for asking me by the way."
Cath Barton left a comment for Simon Kewin"Don't let that put you off! We have an established group of 6 of us who wanted to open up a wider forum, so anyone may come. "
Simon Kewin left a comment for Cath Barton"Aha! Sorry, hadn't grocked it was the first meeting! Do you think there will be many people who write speculative fiction getting involved?"
Cath Barton left a comment for Simon Kewin"We're planning to meet on the last Wednesday of each month. I'll confirm after this (first!) meeting."
Simon Kewin left a comment for Cath Barton"Cath,

His New Body
Posted on September 24, 2010 at 12:04pm 10 Comments 0 Favorites
He scavenged the parts for his new body from all around the alleys and back streets. A discarded umbrella pulled from a bin made for an arm, its crook a hand. A length of rusting drainpipe and a rotting timber almost the same length made a workable pair of legs.

‘Really, Dad?’
I nod and Jake considers my words while we walk hand-in-hand through the woods, occasionally stopping for me to pluck him another blackberry.
‘Then how come it was windy when we went to London that time?’

Hello Simon - Hope your daughter is okay. The first meeting of our writing drop-in went well - 12 people. Mixed interests. We're definitely going to meet on the last Wednesday of every month, 6.30-8.30pm, Hen & Chicks pub in Abergavenny. So it'll be 30th March. Do come if you can and give it a go.

Do let me know if you can come on the 23rd Simon. We'd be delighted to see you.The first hour will be people reading - max 5 mins each (more than one go possible if there aren't many of us) and the second hour informal chat. Drop in if you can't make the whole 2 hours.
