hey guys
anyone got an approximate time they think the major work will be due
for some stupid reason i freaked today because i thought this was our last term and it was due by the end - thank god it's not!
well - yeah .. i had ideas and all, then realised that it sounded way too cliche! far out, i need more originality, and i can write good scenes when it comes to evilness.. or morbid scenes or whatever, but not happy - chirpy scenes.. farrout.. anyone wanna give me a few pointers on how to write a story.. at least one chapter.. without it being to cliched or predictable, but be happy and all.. it's just that evilnessed doesnt suit my theme..

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 ext. 1 you may read some of him) or david guterson ('snow falling on cedars' is a beautiful book to read) but yeah, lots of different writers can enhance your perception of writing, and if you open your mind to these styles, you can find an avenue that is best suited to you, i would feel

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?

I think i kind of mixed myself up there...

I'm writing a suite of poems... and they're all linked up by a commmon theme... there all supposed to pass on the same message/messages that I wish my audience to recieve


I was thinking of writing a poetic story... but... I guess that didn't work out
