Creative Writing Club Round-Up #4: 20/12/2013

Hey guys! Well, the first term of CWC has been fun, and with the stress of competition writing over for Christmas, we spent the last session having a well earned rest. CWC really started to live up to its alternative name ‘the Eating Lunch and Chatting club’ but don’t worry, it will be business as usual after the holidays.

ANT made the session memorable by trying her first ever mince pie! It took much persuasion but she did take the leap of faith eventually, trusting our very high opinion of this Christmas food classic... sadly she was disappointed. Personally, I think it was a mistake admitting to her that they contain raisins but at least she tried *sigh*!

After everyone else had finished their mince pies (someone else finished ANT’s) I took the opportunity to make Raven claws out of the casings. This was very entertaining for a while but they were a little impractical. No one could complain though because they served their purpose in keeping me occupied.

DisneyLoverMolly and Master were very nearly absent from this final meeting but we couldn’t have been more thrilled when they said they could stay. DisneyLoverMolly made us all laugh by trying to get noticed as she walked to and from CWC in the hat from my Christmas cracker. Nobody commented on it, or laughed, or even gave her a funny look. This left her concluding that everyone (even the people who don’t know her) expects crazy behaviour from her! Don’t worry though DisneyLoverMolly, we all love your quirky little ways :)

So to end the Christmas term, I have two Christmas-based quotes for you all to enjoy. The first is inevitably from Harry Potter (and the Order of the Phoenix) to remind everyone what joy books can bring at Christmas – although Dumbledore prefers socks:

Hermione: “‘Thanks for the book, Harry,’ she said happily. ‘I’ve been waiting for New Theory of Numerology for ages!’”

And the second is a Charles Dickens quote from ‘A Christmas Carol’ which I think is a really interesting take on Christmas. Enjoy.

“For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.”

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
