Jeremy's Writers' Lab fortnight comes to a close....

It’s hard to believe that it was only two weeks ago that the members of the group sat down to write their first stream-of-consciousness exercise and begin our time working together.

Since then we’ve encountered a horde of compelling characters generated out of the various writing games and assignments, and I’m hopeful that the members of the group are impressed enough by these invented personalities they’ve conjured out of thin air to pursue their various literary destinies on the page.

Certainly, on the basis of the passages they’ve been writing these last few mornings, the writers in the group have every reason to throw themselves into the process of finding their voices and introducing their characters to a wider readership.

Jeremy Sheldon is just wrapping up his two weeks of teaching at the Writers' Lab at the Skyros Centre in Greece. See www.skyros.com/writers_lab.htm.
