Post it: Activity for July 29th meeting- Getting to know you

1. If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be?

Please pick an animal most suited to yourself, not one that you like and explain why. If it wasn't already obvious this is my attempt to get you all to talk about yourselves because we have a NEW new member! Once again welcome Ashley Marie!👏👏👏 I've never met you in any of the meetings before unlike Antwion so yeah, hi. (Hello to you too if you're somewhere out there Antwion, the guild master and Ms. Cindy 👋)

2. Write a brief journal entry from the perspective of that animal.😸
 I don't mean to get all teacher-y on yah but well, I am a sub for today. So... please just have fun with this but also hoping to see something that really tells us about you.

June 29th Meeting

It's June 29th, hello everyone! 👋

Come on in and take a seat in our virtual meeting room. 👐

 I'm the secretary Bianca. Once again 👋I'll be subbing for the class today. In the past meeting, the Guild Master mentioned some topics in the previous meeting and I'll just be retouching it, I encourage you to scroll down and revisit the July 8th post if you haven't already seen it. 

1.  The deadline for the poetry slam is Thursday, September 1, 2020 👀, *The date has been extended! So feel free to add your submissions in. All you have to do is record a video of yourself reciting your poem, upload the video to a google share drive and send it to referencerequest@ctcd.edu 

2. Suggestions for writing activities are always welcomed.

3. If you hold a position please let the Guild Master know if you still hold interest in holding it or if you can no longer due to graduation.
*as for me I don't mind filling this position until someone that wants to takes it. Should I post separately explaining all the positions available?

4. When is it safe to meet up again?

🙌 

Here are some activities for today. Aside from discussing what's up above...

Looking for Inspiration?

Hey there! 👋

When's the last time you wrote something?
There's a lot of inspiring art you can find on pinterst.com, try not to get sucked into viewing too many photos as you scroll there. 

How do you normally inspire yourself to write?

(Random) Escape Room Writing Prompt:

It's a hot summer day and you're trapped in a bare basement room with wandering ants, two nails, a crusty tube of wood glue, a plastic toy superhero figurine, a flip-flop, and an evil pinata that kidnapped you from your cousin's birthday party. The evil pinata keeps spawning bananas in the corner of the room- they look like bananas but are super hard, as you got knocked out with one earlier, every now and then it'll poop pieces of gum in the far right corner of the room)it's a cube. Your back is facing the wall with the window and in front of you the evil pinata has his back turned to you. The room only has one window but it's pretty high up. Jimmy, your cousin, said the cops should be on their way in thirty minutes before running back to his party. 💢 At least he left the window open. By the way, you're wearing a flannel shirt with a tank top underneath, shorts, and sneakers. How will you escape?

July 8th, 2020 Meeting

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all are having an enjoyable summer so far. I understand that, for some, the virtual meetings are difficult because meeting and speaking with people face to face is FAR better than mere written word. There are a few things that I think everyone would like to discuss during this meeting and I am going to cover a few here. Feel free to add your comments and concerns to this thread.
  • Our next virtual meeting on here is Wednesday, July 29th, 2020 at noon.
  • The deadline for the poetry slam is Thursday, July 30th, 2020. So feel free to add your submission.
  • We are building a list of ideas for writing (like the description posts) and welcome any ideas or inputs that you may have.
  • Are we meeting in person when the semester begins? This is a topic that we will have to keep our ears to the ground on because CTC has opening phases that we will have to adhere too. Ms. Cindy will be the one to more fully speak on this topic.
  • Official positions. I would like to hear from those that hold a position so I know who all we still have. I understand that graduations from CTC do happen on a frequent basis, and we can lose an officer due to that. Please contact me at naomi.n.mitchel90@gmail.com. Once, I know what positions we have available, if any, we may be opening up for any who are interested.

June 10th Reunion

It's June 10, the foretold day of reunion! 👏👏👏 I hope everyone has been doing well. How have you been entertaining yourself? 

I don't have much to say other than that I do agree, with the Guild Master that we need to find a way to privately share our work in case there's anything we'd like to share. 

To share our work, I think we might just have to make our own separate blogs and share links to each other, possibly on here or on discord. 
Our discord invite link: https://discord.gg/N6fEgve

By the way this is Bianca, originally this account was made to blog about the life of my Sims 4 Sim, Weiss Lody. In case you were wondering about the name. I have scattered accounts like this and on wordpress.

Sims 4 or the series of Sims in General, I've always had a fun time coming up with stories for  my sims but never got around to it since my laptop received the blue screen of death. I'm just an unlucky person.

Also on my phone right now as my lovely Mother has taken my cheaper replacement laptop hostage for the time being.

Privacy for the New Blog

Good afternoon everyone! My name is Naomi Mitchel, and I am the current President of the Writer's Guild. This blog is a new way for the Guild to meet and communicate with current members. In addition to that, hopefully, meet some new faces that would like to join. Right now, what I would like is to hear (read) any ideas or comments for how our Privacy could be set up. Personally, I would like for anyone to look at the general blog posts because I want people to feel welcome and to see the workings that are going on. We could have a more private type of section to where we could post things that we might be shy about everyone reading (like a short story or poem that has been written) and get the guild's input. 
Happy writing and reading, 
Naomi

Types of Writing/Writers: What type of writer are you?

Everything has a story. Of course, y'all probably noticed this already. 
Writing is so much bigger than itself. 
When you think of a newspaper, music, youtube videos, cartoons, a tv show or movie, a comic book or even a video game. You have to keep in mind there was someone behind the scenes who had a big picture inside their heads, and was able to express themselves successfully. Maybe you are at that point in life where you realize maybe writing novels isn't exactly for you because you lack the attention span to sit down for hours and write. 

Lately I've been struggling with bunkering down and writing, myself. I'm starting to realize that there are different ways I want to express myself. Like even though I can't really draw I keep picturing my stories as video games, manga and even visual novels. It's... kind of annoying. Becuase the moment I tell myself "I'm only so-so at drawing," or "I don't want to program" I realize that I'm the one limiting myself. I'm in my own way of being creative. 

I'll leave a video here. 

After listening to this, I think I would be an Intuitive Pantser...

Lately I've been struggling with bunkering down and writing, myself. I'm starting to realize that there are different ways I want to express myself. Like even though I can't really draw I keep picturing my stories as video games, manga and even visual novels. It's... kind of annoying. Becuase the moment I tell myself "I'm only so-so at drawing," or "I don't want to program" I realize that I'm the one limiting myself. I'm in my own way of being creative. 

I'll leave a video here. 

After listening to this, I think I would be an Intuitive Pantser...

Coping with Covid

I know right now times are hard, but Killeen is slowly reopening. Most of you all probably have online classes but sometimes in-between you might feel like writing or doing something to stave off your boredom. There are many ways to find inspiration to write. Listening to podcasts, music or watching anime, tv, playing video games and reading novels or manga. How have you been motivating yourself during these times?

Also. For those taking online classes, you might be like me where you're not so good at studying. So I'm just going to leave this here and hopefully we'll be somehow able to survive our online classes together.
