    hey 05 ers'... what are u all up to in ur poetry major works?

    yeah, it very much depends on how you write poetry aswell, whether it's vert meticulous or whether you write poems very quickly. i've been lucky enough to be able to write poems really quickly, so it's helped in keeping everything fluid

    skull beneath the skin / big sleep

    sorry to disturb everyone, but i was hoping to gather some opinions of perceptions about this. we are required to create a visual representation depicting the features of our two prescribed texts (the skull beneath the skin and the big sleep), this representation should serve as the focus of a...

    Little help plz

    maybe it could have something to do with the fact that crime fiction, and it's sub-genres, are by nature, a product of their context, with composers using the overall progression of order to disorder as a means to present a critique of society and significant cultural and social values. The...

    Where are you up to?

    that is so true. there are only two people in my class, so i really rely on you guys for help and updates and how i should be handling this whole course. but one of the main things our teacher told us before we took this on was that we take it on because we WANT to, and so it can just be...

    Where are you up to?

    it's really true though, i'm not sure if there is too many of us that are feeling terribly well about our major work right now. i've talked to a number of people who are doing major work subjects (art, drama etc.) and they're feeling the same way, it's a little bit of a watershed right now for...

    Where are you up to?

    don't worry so much about it right now. i think we're all getting to the stage where we dont have as much confidence in our work anymore, just reading over it at nausea really makes it seem uninteresting. and remember that we're going back to school pretty soon, so you can get a lot more ppl to...

    Rhyming Dictionary

    i'm not entirely sure. there is only one other girl at my school doing ext 2, and her poems seem to all be of the free verse form, and i think i read some work from somebody in this forum who was writing in free-verse, but i dont know. in fact, i think all of the MW's i have read have been...

    Rhyming Dictionary

    it may be worth me asking now...who here is really investigating much into rhyme for their poetry? a lot of the MW's i've read in poetry have all been exclusively in free-verse, is anyone else here using rhyme in a significant number of works?

    Where are you up to?

    i'm sure it is very good. to be able to compose such a large amount of writing in a short time really must mean you're really thinking creatively.

    Due Date For Major Work

    are you referring to yourself in planning a story physician? sorry, i might have misinterpreted the sentence completely. are you talking about creating a story in your own poetry or talking about munchkin's story?

    Due Date For Major Work

    i'm not entirely sure of writing in a short story form for ext. 2, but i always feel it's interesting to read a number of authors and familiarise yourself with their styles, and experiment and see where you feel most comfortable. authors like michael ondaatje (if you're doing crime fiction in...

    Where are you up to?

    i'm not entirely sure about the writing process of scripts / stories / critical responses, but i'm sure the initial draft is used just to provide somewhat of a structure and theme to your work, sort of like a phase where all your ideas are pooled together. so maybe the less polished the first...

    To Fellow Poets...

    i think we are very lucky though, considering that poetry is a craft where we can produce several works, as opposed to a short story or script, where the single work is a constant throughout the entire course. i do know what you mean though, the banality of it all starts to sink in sometimes. an...

    People who are doing crime fiction!!!

    the book has a clearly defined structure, and if you're about a quarter of the way through (i'm guessing you've passed 'call to an offshore island'...have you started 'blood flies upwards'?) but yeah, it starts to pick up. the details of all the characters and settings are a preliminary for when...
