Creative Writing Club

The RCHS creative writing club has been producing some outstanding work. One of the best ways to improve writing and to motivate yourself to write is to become a part of a club.

Delicate Balance

As the summer ends and the school year begins, it is difficult to balance work and writing. I have spoken with many writers who have put projects off for years, decades even, because these writers work full-time jobs. I encourage all to keep writing daily, even if the writer can write a sentence a day and a paragraph a week. Always find time to do what you love.

Cheers!

Ongoing

I was nearly finished with the third draft of a novel. Just as that great feeling of accomplishment was filling me, ideas to add to the novel started to bombard my brain. What's a writer to do. Go with what he or she has, or open up a much larger world on the pages of his or her novel?

Cheers!

When is it done?

I have often been asked when I think a novel or even an academic essay is "done". When conducting research in college, I found a quote from Christopher Marlowe: "When the curtain goes up, the play is complete." However, even Marlowe would make changes while watching the performances of his plays. Were Walt Whitman alive today, he would probably still be working on "Leaves of Grass."

I guess only the individual writer can answer that question for himself/herself. For me, I polish the manuscript until I am happy with its shine.

How now?

I am excited about both my summer writing projects and my summer reading materials. I look forward to being massively productive as well as having considerable fun.
