May 18th Meeting Minutes

 Cindy, Joe, Antwion, Amari, Leigh and me were present.

Today we discussed about the Twilight event and asked looked for volunteers, in which Joe put a message above that describes the details better. Also, in the next Writer's Guild we are going to focus on our individual projects, meaning that if you have an idea for an book in your mind, you can organize it and start writing it.

Antwion's new book!

 Hi Fellow Writers Guild members!


Antwion has published a new book! He sent us a link to get an advanced copy.

Congratulations Antwion! We're very proud of you!

May 11 Meeting Minutes

We met yesterday to make up for last week's missed meeting. We had Asriel, Amare, James and William in attendance. 

We voted on participating in the Twilight event on Oct 8. You do not have to be a student to participate and we will need lots of vampires for this. We'll get more details. We will have the twilight costumes at the next meeting which is next Weds. Please come to the meeting in person to discuss the event and how the Writers Guild will participate. 

We then wrote haiku's and did a creativity word game. 

We discussed how we can help with the fall Welcome Week. 

        Need anime trivia for our online Anime Jeopardy game

        Anyone who can help with a Smash Brothers tournament, please volunteer. We will try to borrow equipment from Harker Heights Public Library for the tournament

        Need anime artists to draw photo backdrops on sheets at the next meeting. We will also have an anime contest during Welcome Week. More details to come. 

See you next week!

Meeting next week May 11th but read the things we're looking for!

 Hi guys, 


Sorry I was sick yesterday. 


Just a few things:


Our meeting is for next Weds 4:30 and I'll send out a new invitation. 


Tonight is Author Night 6-8pm. Please try to make it. 


Looking for gamers! 


  • The fall's Welcome Week theme is anime. We are planning a Smash Brothers tournament on Monday, Aug 29 and Tuesday, Aug 30 at the library. We will plan it from 12-1pm. We need to set up the games and tournament stuff again. We will need volunteers to help, but you won't have to stay the entire time or on both days. We need equipment and I can possibly borrow some from Harkers Heights Public Library.  We need commitments

  • Tuesday, Aug 30, we have an online Anime themed Jeopardy from 11:30-1. We need anime trivia with answers from you guys. Ms Margaret will run the game online. 

  • Looking for anime artists! 
  • Wednesday, Aug 31, we will have an anime drawing contest from 12-1:30pm. We will give you different increments of time to draw like 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc and the best one wins that round until we have a grand winner. We will offer distance students the chance to join us via WebEx. 

  • Looking for anime artists! We will need backdrops for photobooths. We need volunteers to draw on white sheets and color them. 

Remember that we are also looking for Writers Guild members to play the part of Twilight vampires. Let me know if you're interested.

Meeting tomorrow!

 Hi Writers, Artists, Gamers, Photographers, Comedy Writers and Overall Creative People, 


Our next meeting this this Wednesday (tomorrow) at 4:30pm. I'll send out a WebEx for those who can't make it in person. 


Bring your latest work and we will give feedback. We will take about 5 minutes each, so don't plan on reading your novel, but share something. 


If you guys have any other ideas, bring them to the meeting. 


Also, this Thursday is our next Author Night. Please plan to be there and support Antion Lewis who is one of our members as well as Ashley Knight who has helped many of you get published. 


See you tomorrow and Thursday! 


Have a great day, 


Cindy
