Sunday's YPL event
Mar. 7th, 2013 07:48 pmDear students,
I am excited to announce that we will be gathering for a very pleasant little workshop this coming Sunday. This is something that has been quite some time in the planning, though we’ve done our very best, as the YPL committee, to bring it in the best possible alignment with the goals of the programme.
On Sunday, I am sure you will join me in enthusiastically welcoming a number of authors to Hogwarts. During our time together, we will be listening to them discuss the process of writing, the responsibilities in reaching out to the Protectorate through their words, and other topics related to their books. At the end, we will discuss the most exciting project, a chance for those of you who favour writing and the arts to glorify Our Lord’s goals and priorities.
So that you can reread any particular favourites, or brush up on them in advance, I wanted to let you know that we will be hearing from the following authors, who have graciously offered up their time.
1) Claudius Shore, author of Playing for Keeps: The Pastimes of the Most Powerful Wizards. A little bit frivolous, perhaps, but with some interesting history about the development of sport and amusements.
2) Julius Hornbeck, who wrote Parchment Perfect: The Art of Report Writing, a work I commend to all of you to improve the organisation of your writing and essays.
3) Quercus Edmonds, who wrote The Transfiguration of Stress, an excellent guide to navigating through those passing challenging moments in our otherwise glorious days.
4) Lena McCord, author of Elation, with all sorts of teensy amusements in Charms class. Mrs McCord remembers her own Hogwarts years very fondly - so much so she just had to set a book here - and she is delighted to be returning for a visit.
We will begin with an initial panel discussion, followed by an opportunity for groups to circulate through each writer and hear more about their process in detail. We will then gather for the exciting announcement about ways each and every one of you can demonstrate your loyalty to the Protectorate.
