Writing Club Questions:

Q: When does Writing Club meet?

A: We meet every Wednesday after school in room 214, except for the first six weeks of the 2024-25 school year (when we meet on Thursdays). 

 

Q: How long does each meeting last?

A: We typically close the meetings around 3:30pm.

 

Q: What goes on during a typical meeting?

A: The answer to this one is a combination of some or all of the following: writing to a prompt, sharing what we've written either during the prompt or outside of school, workshopping a specific writer's piece, taking part in shared writing prompts, and general conversation between creative individuals.

 

Q: What types of writing are acceptable?

A: All types!  We write -- and welcome -- poems, short stories, plays, memoirs, song lyrics, novels in progress, and just about any other type of writing you can imagine.

 

Q: Is it all about wealth and fame?

A: That's more of an opinion question, but we DO support students who want to submit pieces to writing contests and other publications.  For information on upcoming contests, stop by during our next meeting.

 

Q: I love writing, so why am I not in Writing Club?

A: I couldn't tell you...  Attend our next meeting to realize what you've been missing!
