We’re back. Actually, we’ve been back for a bit now (see the post about the Xmas break below).
Twice a year we have a competition, and one of them is next month. As you are doubtless aware, the 14th of February has been designated by an international conspiracy of jewelers, restaurateurs, card makers, rose growers and makers of naff teddy bears and other such rubbish, as Spend-a-Fortune-on-Ludicrously-Overpriced-Love-Tokens-to-Avoid-Being-in-Deep-Trouble-with-the-Other-Half Day.
Whilst we denounce this conspiracy, we at the Richmond Writers’ Circle are artistes (ahem) and Love is one of the great themes of literature. So get writing for our competition to be on Wednesday the 15th of February. It’ll come round faster than you think. There’ll be a token prize. Get on with it (yeah, it’s tough love). Rules:
