Happy Birthday to us!

With thanks in particular to our hosts at #Cave Castle; York Writers at #Brigantes,York; #Judsons at Pocklington; #Drewtons Farm Shop; #Fudge at Hull.
Want us to come and workshop at your place? Get in touch and let us know!
Plenty more to come... but for now, it's a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY and may there be many more workshops!

With grateful thanks again - to Fudge, in Hull
We had a great morning in Hull's #Fudge - the second of our recent 'tightening tension' workshops - where we explored revelations - such as the moment the hound appears in Conan Doyle's famous Baskervilles tale, and the exquisitely handled moment of entrapment in Susan Hill's #The Man in the Picture. Workshoppers wrote some great atmospheric descriptive pieces in response to our 'Park in the Dark' writing task.
After coffee and cake (naturally!) we delved into issues with dialogue - how to say a lot without saying a lot - and chewed over an illuminating extract from John Williams' novel, Stoner.
Our group of writers enjoyed the experience - thanks once more to Fudge. And talking of chewing... gotta say: the cakes were just luvverly!

With thanks to York Writers!
We recently had a splendid evening visiting York Writers at #Brigantes, Micklegate, York. A truly Gothic Evening where we explored how some of the best Gothic Great writers do their stuff - and had a try ourselves at eerie atmospherics in descriptive writing.
Interesting to take a look at domestic, contemporary Gothic as well as some of the loved traditionals - thanks, York Writers, for making Thoughttree feel so welcome - we'd love to come back another day!
