This week's #WritersWednesday is giving senior Writing Arts major Thomas LaPorte the spotlight for his work as a writer and student here at Rowan! Tom has concentrations in both Technical and Creative Writing, and is involved in several clubs and committees on campus -- he is president of the Rowan Writing Arts Club, a student representative on the Academic Integrity Review Board, and a student representative on the Grade Dispute Committee as well. - Tom majored in Writing Arts because he recognized the major as the ideal place for him to "practice and strengthen" his craft as a writer. Through his experiences within the major, Tom says that he's been able to accomplish everything that he has set out to do! - Outside of his life as a student, Tom enjoys exploring science fiction elements in his writing, with a special focus on creating "god-level" and "cosmic-level" stories. To compliment his interest in expansive cosmological storytelling, he reads Grant Morrison's comic books and graphic novels! Currently, Tom says that he is working on a science fiction piece titled "Ethereal Cereal", that focuses on "the practice of law in the cosmos." He considers the piece both serious and comedic. - Tom's favorite quote about writing comes from the aforementioned Grant Morrison himself: "You can make magick happen by writing things and changing the operating system of the universe." #rowanwriting #rowanwritingarts #rowanstudents #writers #sciencefiction #edelmanccca #rowanwriters #rowanuniversity #creativewriting #grantmorrison
