Greetings LJC writers!
This will be a very long post and an intensive semester, so buckle down!
This post contains info about all previous and future meetings, dates, what happening, what YOU need to do, etc.
Firstly, I would like to talk about the upcoming writing workshop and our previous meeting. This past Tuesday, a lot of important information was discussed and one of which was the workshop which will take place on Tuesday, January 10th from 3:30-5:00. It has been decided that this will be exclusively a fiction writing workshop and announcements are being aired, with flyers to be posted soon. The writing workshop will consist of 2 parts, the 1st being the presentations on the various genres and the 2nd will be an interactive session that will make up the last 1/2 hr portion of the event. Assignments for the presentations can be found in this link: docs.google.com/document/d/1wUluwVz4VAmxn4Q5sH1Z7s8Q9TnJJu9hJtlPwYIpdK.
These presentations must be shared with me by Monday, January 9th for review. The presentation will talk about the genre in general, certain elements that make up the genre, how to write it, etc. Each presentation should take no longer than 10 minutes.
We also have decided to hold a meeting on the same day, January 10 at SUCCESS. Please attend, as we will be briefly discussing the workshop as well as the Literary Journal, and the possibility of having club t-shirts for sale.
Speaking of the literary journal, there is much to do! Please write, because there is a deadline for your work. I have listed all the major deadlines SO FAR below:
PLEASE WRITE,WRITE,WRITE!!!! There is very little time left!
Sunday, January 8th by 7:00 pm→ deadline for elections applications
Monday, January 9th→ Last day to email me your assigned presentations for the writing workshops
Tuesday, January 10th→ Fiction Writing Workshop (We also have a meeting today at SUCCESS)
Tuesday, January 31st→ Last Day to email me a rough idea of what you are placing in the journal and approx how many google doc pages it will or does take up)
Tuesday, February 14→ first Day of Editing(Must have ALL writing done!!)
Tuesday, February 28th→ Last Day of Editing (Strict Deadline)
Tuesday, April 25th→ Day of Placing Order for Literary Journal
The editing weeks will be VERY busy because many of you will be rewriting and rewriting certain parts of your pieces. DO NOT try to save anything for later. I also need to estimate how many pages the journal will be and what will be in it, so please email a rough idea of how many GOOGLE DOCS pages your writing fills up. For anyone with questions about what goes in the journal: any writing from this past year can go into the journal unless it is too long. If you have a novel, we will place an excerpt of your novel(about 3 chapters, if they are not too long) in the journal. This is why I need everyone to tell me about what they planning on publishing Do not worry about being exact. Just remember this: the journal must be around 100 pages at least, but I am confident we will pass that word count easily.
This also brings up the topic of money. In the previous meeting, it was decided that a contribution of $15 would be collected from everyone. Do not worry about this as of now; I still need to talk to Mrs. Lindsey about this. This will help reduce the tremendous costs that publishing the journals takes.
I would also like to tell you that we will probably be deciding a date for club pictures during the next meeting at SUCCESS NEXT TUESDAY. These pictures are very important because they will be placed in the literary journal and will be used to create a gorgeous cartoon collage piece as cover art for the back cover.
In the previous meeting, we also decided the cover art! We had some great ideas and I am happy to say that the cover art piece is one that everyone will like! If you would like to know the plans for the cover, please ask anyone who went to the previous meeting.
Elections!
As I have mentioned in the past week, we NEED A SECRETARY AND TREASURER! As of now, no one has run for treasurer. I would also like to remind any vice president candidates that as of now, VP position is least important and will not be selected until there a secretary and treasurer have been chosen.
Happy writing!
Best Regards,
Baani Minhas
