Anyone who takes a language at our high school knows exactly what a typical language class looks like. A few students trying to decipher what their teacher is saying, while most have already fallen asleep on their desks. It’s rare to find a Spanish, French or language class with a group of students who love to learn the language.

Imagine this: A student given one month to write a 50,000 word creative piece (over 100 Microsoft Word pages), who’s keeping in mind that it’s not even for a grade. Many may be convinced that no one on Earth would ever choose to do such an assignment. On the contrary, students enjoy participating in this opportunity to expand their creative writing skills and experience the daunting task of novel writing.
