Ever wondered what
Colchester might have been like, had Boudicca not attacked? Could
there be a secret underground room of treasures still concealed beneath Colchester
Castle? Are you intrigued by the ghosts, which haunt the streets of
this ancient town? Are you hungry for a slice of everyday life in
Colchester?
Whether you want to
know more about the Witchfinder General and his victims or explore
time travel, 'WriteNight, the Anthology - Colchester' contains
something for everyone.
Regular readers will
already know that Colchester WriteNight is a group of local writers,
who meet twice a month to discuss writing and to write together. I
am a member of this amazing group and I love being a part of it.
The brainchild of Emma
Kittle, this group began with Colchester people meeting for NaNoWriMo
write-ins in November 2011 and we have been meeting regularly for
eighteen months now, completing writing exercises; discussing
writing; encouraging each other through NaNoWriMo, during the month
of November and writing in general the rest of the time. All in all,
it is a really supportive and fun group of people to spend time
writing with.
Last year, we embarked
upon the somewhat daunting task of putting together our first
anthology of short stories, on the subject of the town we meet in –
Colchester.
The end result is a
really interesting and diverse anthology of work by sixteen writers,
showcasing the broad range of styles, ideas and imaginations, which
make up WriteNight. To read and enjoy all the stories we had so much fun writing, plese click on the link below.

the anthology,

If you love writing and would be interested in coming along to WriteNight, we meet regularly at 15 Queen Street, Colchester. For more information, click on the links below. We welcome writers of all abilities ... you just need to enjoy writing!
