Write for a Bright Future
Eye-catching. We at the Ministry believe that things should be eye-catching. It came to our attention that there was a jaw-droppingly, eye-poppingly fantastic session with a name as dull as dishwater – the Drop In sessions. This is the place where young writers come on Thursdays after-school and Saturday mornings to empty their imaginations onto paper.
One Sunday, while flossing with some fishing line, the Minister of Chalk and Brushes realised that it was time to re-name. We put it to the junior ministers of Drop In and they came up with some splendid suggestions. An admirably fair but gruelling voting system was put in place and, after much deliberation, the junior ministers decided on ‘Write for a Bright Future’. Tip top job junior ministers!
Don’t forget you can read what comes out of the junior ministers’ pencils in our latest anthology Green Wobbly Things, Dancing available now in the Hoxton Street Monster Supplies.
