Creative writing is a way to express your inner thoughts and emotions, and writing it all down in a story or poem.

Hawthorne High School offers this afternoon club that you can join if you enjoy writing short stories or poems out of school. The club is run by Ms. Fiorilla.

The creative writing club is a club that allows students to open their creative minds and write about things they want to write about. Students can come up with short stories and poems that are outside of the box and beyond the limitations of a typical school assignment. The club members meet every Wednesday after school in room 307 and talk about various story and poem ideas, themes, characters, and conflicts. There are different workshop areas around where they can work independently, work one on one with the adviser, and peer-edit one another’s work.

The purpose of the Creative Writing Club is for students to be able to reach their limits of creativity, again, without being held to the limits of what teachers are requiring. The Creative Writing Club is for students who like to invent characters and tell interesting stories. Students should be able to be creative on their own terms.

Students are in school all day long, adhering to various assignments, projects, and studies; they should be able to release the creative tension that gets built up throughout the day. This is where they are able to be themselves and relate to others who like to write creatively.

The club is trying to run fundraisers to raise money and allow the school to have fun while doing it. There are some ideas in the works that have not yet been decided. They are hoping to invite students to open their own creative minds and share some holiday cheer!
