Be sure to read these young fantastic writers' work in

The Writers Circle Journal

---

WHAT THEY LOVED BEST:

The kids actually like writing!

Just the sheer time spent being able to work on our individual pieces. Not only do I have a lot done on my story but also feel inspired to write more consistently!

The sparks of creativity and the structure that allowed me to write as much as possible.

I loved getting feedback on my work so I know what I have to improve upon.

Making friends and laughing.

Learning how to share my writing. I don't enjoy doing this, but I felt more comfortable as the week progressed.

WHAT THEY LEARNED:

I learned how to incorporate prompts and sensory specifics into my writing in Elements of Fiction.

I learned the importance of every word and sentence in your work in Flash and Micro Fiction.

We discussed important mood/world building, characters, and figurative language, in Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

I've never written Flash Fiction so this was a wonderful introduction to the genre! I loved how we worked on multiple different pieces, and how we were given a variety of creative and fun prompts throughout the class.

I learned a lot about different mythologies and the underlying storylines that unite or divide them in Retelling Myth and Fairy Tale, and it was just such a blast.

I loved responding to silly prompts in Humor Writing and seeing where that led us.The many possibilities of how a story could go were always amusing and I loved this chance to exercise my creative abilities.

Mr. Mike is hilarious and his Horror class was wonderful.

Cat is an amazing, passionate teacher and a great listener. I learned a lot about form during that Poetry class. She’s very sweet and supportive and let my heart bleed out into the page.

I learned in No Rules Writing how to take observations, or "steal" from reality, and turn them into insightful pieces.

I learned in Exploring Poetry that poetry can be weird and first drafts of poetry don't have to be good. This workshop really helped me discover a love for poetry!

All this awesomeness happened at Drew University, Madison, NJ
