About your question, this varies very much from school to school.

At my high school, all you need to do is run around until you find a faculty member willing to moderate you, fill out some forms and get approved (very, very easy. Last year a class nutball started a rock'em sock'em robots club . . with the intention of abopting a highway so there would the Rock'em Sock'em Robot club signs on the sides of major roads).

Once you do that, you have a club. To get people to join, at my school, you can do one or two things. First is to make posters and get PA time for announcements and just hold meetings. Second is to corner freshmen and keep talking so long that they agree to sign on just to get rid of you.

Creative writing will probably have lots of takers. I know lots of folks at my HS interested, so presumably you will find takers somewhere.

Sounds like your club-starting process is lots more involved than it is here, and thats a shame, but a creative writing club should fly through no problem unless one already exists.
I've been talking to all the english teachers for a while, and they think it'll go over also.

At my HS I know there are a lot of writers, but most are probably secretive.

Our school is really strict really.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I finally got the feeling of doing it this year. The process I said is what I was told by the teachers. As soon as I talk to the principal, I'll get more info, and probably post it here.

Thanks for your reply
