This year I have chosen to pick a subjec for English which just involves writing a major piece of work, like a short story (6000-8000 words).
The teachers have said that the most authentic responses are personal and based in life experience, and what I'm going through now is a pretty relavent issue in today's society, and probably my most significant life experience.
So...writing a story about anorexia. Here is where my trouble begins. What format do I write it in (e.g. Diarys, letters, interview, from different perspectives, first person, third person, present or past tense. Then do I set it in a hospital or at home or a mix?). Aaaah so many options. I really want to make my story as meaningful and powerful as possible, so if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone has a moving story or any story at all and would like to share it with me for me to incorporate into my story, I would keep your identity completely confidential and could send you a copy of the work when it is finished :) if anyone wants just email me at reachrach00@gmail.com
I'll keep posting updates on how my story is going throughout the year :)
Helped out at the biscuit decorating at at my church community event today, and even though I only ate it plain I did eat a biscuit :) just keep smiling
Hey, I always read your blog it is amazing, don't worry!! I love your blog!! I think in a diary format would be cool, as I always use to read those my story books when I was younger and loved them so much, and then you could write each day as a new challenge ect. If I am making any sense!! ;) haha but it is up to you, good luck!! I am sure it will be amazing!!
