just started this last night
I don't read a lot of autobiographical stories... but I felt like this one would be a good one to add to my list because of the current issues facing and shaping Canada with regards to our aboriginal community. So far, just a few chapters in, you can tell it's not written by a ghost writer... Wab's voice is very much to list the chronological events in a factual way... but maybe there is an air to it of the generations of passing down story in voice form as was the aboriginal tradition. Also, it starts of with brief stories of parents and grandparents that trickle down into Wab's life... and man, hearing stories from Residential schools never gets easier.

'My Fruitless Search For A sense Of Humour' by LeatherTrumpet - It's filed under Fiction. And I recommend my own novels: 'Return of The Man Who Never Came Back' 'The Valley on The Hill' and: 'Footprints In The Sea'. Happy reading Mokka my sweet.

That's so cool that you write, Kirk. How long have you been planning/writing your novel for?

I actually started writing my 'novel' based upon the script about 2 years ago - yes, I am not as disciplined as I once was - and have worked on it in fits and start fashion. (This bloody forum diverts me away from my real writing ). I had also another 'near miss' with another spec script submission - again I received a brilliantly encouraging letter back - and I have sold a couple of short stories, in addition to having won a couple of writing contests when I was younger. I love writing and especially love words. Do you write Braden? I'd be very interested in hearing about it from you if you. You can always pm me.

If it was - there would be lots of young cops enjoying the sarge's Truncheon Meat.

I actually wrote a short story for one of my assignments for university and absolutely loved the process of it. I've not enjoyed writing something as much as I did so with that. I also write for the university's online newspage, which is pretty cool too. I didn't write as much as I wanted to because, like you say, real life gets in the way and I also become quite preoccupied with the forum :P The assignment really inspired me to maybe write fiction sometime in the future, maybe as a hobby since I got so much enjoyment from it all. I know you can't become a world-famous author over night (well maybe in some cases you can) but it's definitely opened my eyes to pursuing something that I love doing |

I can only urge you to start writing now Braden - do not waste precious time like I and others who I know have. Just write - no matter what rubbish you put down, because ultimately it will stimulate your imagination and you will find the words flowing. There are lots of excellent tutorials around and absolutely brilliant books on writing by successful authors. One of the best books which I could personally recommend is not for short story or novel writers, but for Film scriptwriters, but it is absolutely invaluable for all writers. It is 'Story' by Robert McKee. I have always been a 'people' watcher - old folks are brilliant as they sit in cafes or on a bench in the park - and I wonder to myself 'What's his/her story?' I find it is a great 'story' generator as it kick-starts my imagination. Keep in touch Braden - I'm at the end of a pm if you ever want to chat.

I garnered so much help from different websites for my assignment, espcially this one: http://thewritepractice.com/. I will definitely look into getting that book though, and I'm in London this Thursday so I'll make sure I'll come home with some things to help me get started. I'm the same. I love getting the train and seeing all of the different kinds of people you're in company with, and thinking 'I wonder where they're going and what their life is like beyond this'. For one of my other assignments I had to interview an elderly person and then write a news report based on their life story, and that was a lot of fun because I cam out if so much more confident and got the chance to speak to a really lovely lady who had quite an interesting life. I'll definitely keep in touch, Kirk. Thanks for the recommendations |
