Today was the second meeting of the
second unit of English Club that we are hosting this year. This second unit is
Creative Writing. Though I am not one of the specifically appointed PICs of
this unit, I will still be present at meetings as much as possible, and help
out where I can. I mostly observed those in charge for this second meeting, as
they lead the meeting, and the participation of the people who chose to sign up
and join the Creative Writing unit. During this meeting, desks were arranged in
a circle, and participants were given a prompt. The prompt today, was the
picture of an apple. They then were given time to write a short piece based
upon the prompt.
Towards the end of the meeting,
everyone shared what they had wrote based upon the prompt, or the ideas that
circulated in their heads triggered by the prompt. We saw a myriad of different
approaches, and it was interesting to see the different ideas that blossomed
from the simple prompt of an apple. It shows that just starting at something
simple, there are a lot of creative ideas that can sprout, and a lot of
different approaches and personal styles can be taken.
I’ve always enjoyed reading, and
creative writing is pretty much akin to that. It was a simple meeting that I
felt was quite enjoyable, and gives a platform for participants to write
creatively and share what they write.
