Hello All,
This is the blog for all the writers at Lake Forest College who would like to share their work with their fellow students, simply write creatively outside of class once a week, or be inspired by the works of other students on campus. We will meet every Thursday at 12:00pm in the skybox.
The purpose of this blog is so that students can share their work anonymously, or otherwise with the members of this group, and receive constructive criticism. Like any literary forum, there must be rules for this group. Primarily, it takes courage to share ones work with others, even if it is anonymously, and thus this page must be respectful and kind. That is not to say you must beat around the bush, or sugar coat your responses to someones piece, however you must provide both praise and constructive criticism when they are due.
Beginning on February 10th, the Writing Club will meet for an hour at the least. Bring pencils, pens, papers, journals etc... and be prepared to free write. If, throughout the week, you have a piece you would like to share, whether for class or for fun, and would like to recieve comments, you may post it on this blog. If you have a piece you would like to share first email cliffsm@lakeforest.edu with the writing as an attachment. I will then post it to the blog. If you would like your name included, tell me in the email, otherwise the posting will remain anonymous. Hopefully this will become a safe place for creative growth and inspiration.
Also, at points throughout the week I will post writing prompts. For those of you procrastinating on classwork, check out the blog for interesting prompts and inspiration.
Sincerely,
The Lake Forest College Coffeehouse
