A friend of mine recently had the idea to start a writer's club at ISK. Since he knows writing is a passion of mine, he asked if I wanted to join, and naturally I said yes. We had our first meeting today, and I'm happy to say I'm surrounded by a great group of people. We're all very passionate about writing and I think we're all excited to share our pieces and try new things. We're planning on meeting once a month, and every meeting we'll get a new 'assignment'. This month's assignment is "Why do you write?" I love to write, and I have very concrete reasons why, so this one should be easy.
We have a lot of ways to express our creativity at ISK, and there are definitely ways to write, but there has never really been a "Writer's Club". There is a journalism club, but creative writing and journalism are very different. I'm taking part in the club in order to improve on my creative writing by getting feedback from my peers. I know they'll be honest and give good constructive criticism without being negative or harsh. I'm also excited to have to opportunity to read my peers' work and help them get better and better. This club should be educational, fun, and make sure I make time to write through all the craziness that is the IB.
