Why would I need to join a club for it?” Well, we have just the answers. P.E.N. is a mixed grade club, allowing more students to gain this knowledge than what would normally be possible. In addition, P.E.N. allows for more artistic freedom than what a Creative Writing class provides, due to a class having assignments and deadlines. Mrs. Eyre, LEAD and Creative Writing mentor at LANV, also helps run the P.E.N. club. Her insight and guidance makes learning new tips easy and fun! Being able to share your writing with others confidently allows you to become more self-assured! And though not strictly a requirement, is something this club can help you get used to. Confidence is a key feature in responsible, principled leaders. By being confident in presenting personal written works, you’ll be able to build your character. Leaders with a strong sense of character are often more trusted, and can get you far in life, no matter the career. P.E.N. is all about sharing, caring, and helping. Tips, tricks, and advice are very common in this club P.E.N. is welcoming and casual, with writers sharing their work with other students. Ali, a proud member of P.E.N., stated: “I really love being able to share my writing and get feedback on it! It’s great hearing what I can do to improve.” Creative criticism is a wonderful tool for blossoming writers, and though criticism, is not meant to be harsh, making it a wonderful tool for those new to the scene! However, you’re allowed to warm up to critiques so even if you’re hesitant to participate fully in activities, you’re still welcomed. Overall, this P.E.N. is a wonderful learning experience, both for writing, and for leadership. With the amount of people in this club, you’ll be able to see many unique writing styles, gain new perspectives, and broaden your horizons as both a writer, and a person.
