BASINGSTOKE WRITERS' CIRCLE

Hi

Tony C, also known as Top Cat. I'm a past chair of the circle and have been involved now for around 6 or 7 years.
I write mostly short stories - some for children - though from time to time I try my hand at poetry. These often raise a laugh, but perhaps fail on some of the more technical type of assessments.

When the website develops I will put some example work on-line for you to hopefully enjoy (and/or constructively critique.

I've never achieved publication of my material beyond magazines, journals, anthologies or the like and of course the now famous (legendary even) BWC Bucket of Frogs CD.
I have been lucky enough to win and get 2nd or 3rd place a few times in the local Basingstoke Music and Arts Festival. Nationally, the few times I've tried never got me further than a commendation.

All of which goes to show that when I have (or make the time), I do this for the fun of it (also therapeutic and stress relieving) like most of our members. If this remotely describes you too, why are you not already a member of our friendly group?

Cheers for now
Tony C
