We meet on the first Monday from 1 to 3 pm and the third Thursday
from 3 to 5 pm of each month in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose
Room. Contact Thomas May for further information at (951) 743-
2127 or email thomasmay0922@gmail.com.
If you want to write, how would you approach the task differently
depending on your chosen genre? If you want to write a novel, you
need to consider setting (who, where, when), fact or fiction, plot,
theme, style, first or third person, character development, use of
dialogue, climax, and denouement. Do you understand the relative
importance of these elements?
Suppose you wish to write a short story instead. How would you
use these elements differently? Which ones would you emphasize
or perhaps omit? How does the brevity of a short story affect these
choices?
There are several other forms of writing, such as poetry, essays,
nonfiction, and autobiographies. Come join us at Creative Writing
Club meetings to share your ideas in a friendly setting, and listen
to the writings and opinions of others. You will find this very
stimulating.
