Creativity
Once a month, the creative writing club school at my high school holds a meeting. These meetings are for the exchange of ideas between writers and offering advice on what one is already working on. We also red aloud our writings during the meetings. I, personally, share excerpts from my novels. I have many different novels, so it is wonderful being able to share a different story every month to my peers. We also discuss club functions. For example, right after Christmas break we organised and carried out a bake sale to raise money or a self-published book. This book will contain an excerpt from every member of the club's work. I entered excerpts from my Moon Chasers saga and my Games of War saga. I type all of my stories on a laptop. I joined this club in the first place to place a more important role on my creative writing in my life and gain the skills needed to one day make this a serious hobby and perhaps an extra source of income.
I have never been a part of a club dedicated to the collaboration and gathering of writers. This is the first time anyone has been able to read my work besides me and a few close friends every once in a while. In this sense, creative writing club forced me out of my comfort zone and was a new challenge for me to undertake. I also planned and initiated activities within the club, such as creating posters for our bake sale and leading one of the shifts for the bake sale during a basketball game at our high school. I always receive criticism for my work and offer criticism to other writers. I have to work with others in order to improve the quality of my writing. My writing has become significantly better since joining the club and I'm really thankful for the experience. I've developed so many useful skills and techniques to use when writing I've lost track of all the techniques I use on a regular basis!
Outcomes of this club:
- Undertook new challenges.
- Planned and initiated activities.
- Worked collaboratively with others.
- Showed perseverance and commitment.
- Developed new skills.
