Creative Writing Club - May 2022 Schedule

Roses laid in a circle on a table. Scrabble pieces whose letters spell out Hello May in the middle of the roses.

Hello month of May!

About the Club

The aim is to build confidence around reading and writing in English, and a sense of community among the Club members. The focus is on developing analytical skills through reading and discussing short stories, and practising creative writing skills by mirroring the structures we encounter. That might all sound quite challenging, but mostly, when you are in a group, it’s just fun. ;)

About the Theme

Each month we tackle a new theme. Previously we have focused on short stories. More recently poetry has become very popular. While blogging and writing posts for social media seems to be very much in demand for the future. But for now we keep things fictional with our Fairy Tales theme. Most of us would have heard of the term fairy tales or at least have an idea of what they are about. Whether you have or not, here are some questions we will be discussing: If they were written so long ago, why are they so popular? Are they really relevant today? Is there space for us to make them more relevant to our daily lives?

About You

You like to read, but don’t feel you have enough time. We keep the reading time as short as possible. You like to write but don’t know where to find ideas. We provide the inspiration. You like to talk but don’t know anyone with the same interests. Well, we know quite a few people just like you, so you won’t be alone!
