Law’s Advanced Creative Writing class has been creating an e-book called “The Fine Art of Messing Up.”

Mr. Healy and Ms. Rodriguez teach the Advanced Creative Writing class. They have been working with the students to get “The Fine Art of Messing Up” published. 

Healy is working with the class to create an online source for people to be able to view the book and is working with students to finish their writing for the book.

“We’re working to build a Google Site where all of the content will be housed along with additional items we wouldn’t normally be able to have in a print copy, such as author videos,” Healy said. “I’m working with students to finish stories and poems for the book, as well as create and compile the artwork, so that we can have a product out by May/Early June.”

Rodriguez is excited for everyone to read the stories written by the students.

“My favorite part of ‘The Fine Art of Messing Up’ is the creativity and well-written stories these students have created,” Rodriguez said. “All of the students involved in this e-book have put so much work into creating these unique stories and I am super excited for everyone to read them.”

Becoming a published author makes people excited and happy to have published work. 

“It’s exciting & surreal,” senior Samiksha Mehta said. “I’ve always wanted to be a published author ever since I learned how to read and write properly so this opportunity is the best one ever and I just feel so happy and excited.”

Being in the advanced creative writing class gives students the opportunity to become published authors and get their work out in the world for other people to read. 

“I took the class so I could write stories and have them be published/ put out into the world,” senior Jayden Chetlen said. “I wanted the chance to have other people read my work and (hopefully) enjoy it.”

Being a published author gives people a chance to show other people their work. 

“I’ve always loved writing so this gives me an opportunity to showcase my work,” senior Noah Golden said.
