Of all the clubs on campus, few have members who can build worlds, break hearts and create new humans with just the stroke of a pen.

The Creative Writing Club is full of such dreamers.

Ryan Adams, a freshman in English with a creative writing concentration, is one of those individuals.

“I want to be that next person, the person that always came up with something that no one could have seen within 10, 20, 10,000 years of writing,” Adams said. “I wanted to be kind of that singular innovator.”

Adams explained that Neil Gaiman, the author of fictitious works including “American Gods” and “Stardust,” has inspired him to strive to create new and interesting worlds in his fiction.

“He was the writer that startled me the most in how well he was crafting all manner of creative worlds, coming up with ideas that I never would have expected,” Adams said. “I wanted to try and follow his way of creating, not necessarily his way of writing or his style.”

The club is open to all students of any major. All you need is a passion for writing.

Bailey Poteet, a freshman in child and family studies, enjoys using writing as a form of expression.

“I like the opportunity to write in my own voice,” Poteet said. “I like writing fantasy stuff, and then I also write vignettes. If there’s something in my life that I’m dealing with, I like to write about that.”

The Creative Writing Club provides an outlet for Poteet, Adams and others to share their stories with fellow writers through the club’s Facebook page.

“Right now, we’ve singularly been reviewing work that’s been submitted through Facebook and read by the rest of the group,” Adams explained.

The group meets bi-weekly at the Panera Bread located on the Strip, usually reviewing two or three submitted works per meeting. Members bring in printed or electronic versions of the work to critique.

“The idea is that everyone has some sort of copy so they can do mark-ups of things they want to say to the author, to kind of give them their own constructive criticism,” Poteet said.

Although agreeing the critiques could be helpful, both Poteet and Adams have found the club is lacking in some areas.

“It’s fairly helpful, but I was expecting a different atmosphere,” Poteet said. “I think I was expecting everyone to be talking about what they’re working on instead of critiquing pieces. I just wish that there was more of an atmosphere where you could bring up ideas for things and have people help you flesh them out.”

Adams, who hopes to spearhead the club in the future, thinks the club could be formatted like a student-run class, where they could discuss topics based on troubles members could be having in their writing, feature different authors, read interviews from creative individuals and seek what influences their works.

“I was also wondering if the club could work with other departments at the university, maybe the theatre department, maybe some of the students from the art sections,” Adams said. “I saw this idea online about how at the end of every month they would have some kind of banquet, in which they would share the work they had accumulated over the month.”

One of the best ways for the club to reach such lofty goals? More members. The club is relatively small and has little to no publicity. They have only a small description on the Volunteer Organization Link site, with no contacts or meeting times. In fact, Poteet said she never would have found the club if her boyfriend, who is an English major, had not received an email.

“I didn’t really know there was a club,” Poteet said. “I probably wouldn’t have found out about it if I hadn’t known someone who is an English major.”

However, Adams believes a growth in the ranks will help the Creative Writing Club be one step closer to his vision.

“It’s about building,” Adams said. “You need to start building a reputation and eventually you become some kind of prestigious icon that everyone reveres.”

If you are interested in helping the club grow but are nervous about submitting works, Adams has some words of advice: it’s okay to be nervous.

“You’re going to have to face it if you want to improve,” Adams said. “It’s going to hurt. It’s going to hurt a lot. But, you’ll find that throughout the trials and the trickiness and the improbable editors that make you want to shove your laptop out the window and down seven flights of stairs, it’s going to be worth it.”

The Creative Writing Club’s next meeting is Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Panera Bread on Cumberland Avenue.
