According to Jerry Brickley, Creative Writing Club sponsor, club members are nearly finished with the literary magazine and have made important decisions about their meeting dates and guidelines.
Club members will release the literary magazine, Reflections, sometime this week according to Brickley. Reflections includes all the entries from the club’s Creative Writing Contest earlier this year.
Kinza Abbas, vice president and sophomore, said copies should be available in the media center and English office for free.
Club members voted to continue meeting every Tuesday. During the meetings, members bring in their own pieces of writing and have other members comment on them. Club members have established some guidelines for critiquing.
“It’s a very difficult thing when people (share) their writing, it’s very personal and you’re kind of taking it apart and pointing out the problems. You have to be careful how you phrase it,” Brickley said.
Creative Writing Club members have started a project called a pass-around story where one member writes one chapter and then gives it to the next member. According to Abbas, the story they are working on right now is a spy story. Club members will also take a group picture for locker signs soon.
