Extracurricular Assistance

Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask if novel writing would be counted as an extracurricular. At this rate, I dont think that I will be able to publish it before application, but have showed my passion for writing in other areas. I have an anthology collection of over 50 poems, and have actually published quite a few on TeenInk! Would this be ok(putting in novel writing as an EC)? And if not, what should I do with that novel?
