The document outlines plans for a writing group to follow over multiple months. It includes holding monthly writing sessions focused on a theme and famous works, publishing collated works, and distributing them creatively to increase publicity. It aims to increase participation in competitions, collaborations, and improve group dynamics. Suggestions are made to open monthly sessions to others and encourage reading classics through social media. The October session will explore mood, atmosphere, emotions, and tension in horror works and include an exercise writing an original horror story or poem to be completed and published for Halloween.
