We rescheduled our May 1 meeting for next week, April 24 at 4 pm. Our original date was on May 1 which is the day and time we do the Byways Reception.


You are all invited to attend the Byways Reception on May 1 at 3:30 pm. Come join your fellow Guild members in celebrating their work. We are proud of their accomplishments!

    • looking a a movie poster and writing about what we think the movie will be about
    • playing improv games and engaging in voice acting

We also started getting volunteers for EGX which is a comicon-like event at CTC on June 1.

  • I’m trying to find out the time, but we will be either inside or on the porch, so we don’t have to worry about a tent.
  • I know it’s I think just in the afternoon into early evening, but I’ll make sure for everyone.
  • You will not have to work the entire time and we can rotate. Also, you can dress up.
  • Please answer the following questions: I can work EGX on June 1st           yes or no

  • So far I have Jeremiah signed up.

Keep working on your writing and other creative endeavors.

 03/27/24 Writers Guild Meeting Minutes


Again…………. we need to vote in a Secretary. ðŸ˜Š Just saying


There were 11 members in attendance: Maki, Ryan, Roman, June, Tajane, Gina, Thomas, Edward, Jeremiah, Amare and Cindy


We read Angelina’s agenda and assigned the Out of Guild activity: Write or draw about a time when a backstabbing (literal or metaphorical) goes wrong. This should be interesting to see what everyone writes. Just a thought – does it ever go right? ðŸ˜Š Just saying. We shall see what everyone comes up with.


Our In Guild Activity was to imagine an alien species crash lands on Earth. We each had to come up with the species that landed, where they landed, whether they were good guys or bad guys, what allegiances did they have and did it have a good or terrible ending.


Then we each took over our parts of the story, intertwining our plots with each other. I will try and upload the recording we made in Discord to show where this story went. It was fun and a great story! 


It's uploaded in Discord



Our next meeting is next Weds, April 3 at 4 pm.  


Also, I want to remind you guys that 3 of our Writers Guild members are in the CTC play, so let’s support them and go out on April 18, 19, or 20th at 7 pm or April 20th at 2 pm to cheer them on!


Have a great week!

13 Members in attendance:

Jeremiah, William, Ryan, Amare, Josue, Tajané, June, Tai, Savannah, Kim, Edward, Don, Cindy


It was a working meeting. We made posters with misspelled words, stuffed stress balls, attempted to make comets, and discussed who was working at the Eclipse event.


Eclipse Day, Monday, April 8 – school is closed that day

  • We have the following people scheduled to work at the Eclipse event: Angelina, Amare, Savannah, Tajané, and Jeremiah (I think you said you could do it...let me know). Did I miss anyone?
  • We could use one or two more. Whoever works it, needs to be committed to showing how great the group is and can stay for a few hours.
  • Please let me know ASAP who will work it. We have to cover the booth from 7/8 am until at least 4 pm.
  • I could use help with setting up, so if you can be there by 7 am, please let me know.

We also posted photographs and members wrote stories, thoughts, and poems about them.


We also shared our character analysis and talked about what type of writing we liked to do.


Cindy bugged everyone again about entering Byways. Link for Byways https://www.ctcd.edu/academics/library/byways/. Deadline March 15. We will not accept even one day late as we have less judging time.


Welcome our new members Jeremiah, Don, and Ryan! We’re glad you’re here!


Please let me know if you can’t get into Discord.


Here’s our blog link https://ctcwritersguild.blogspot.com/. If you want access to our blog you must send Cindy a gmail email. It doesn’t take eaglemail. I will send invitations to those members who gave me their personal email.
