For those who tl;dr'd this..

Best. Story. Ever

Mine was kind of weird. Throughout the entire story u develop the idea that its based on a coloured person seperated from the perfect 'white' group. I used a lot of metaphors and language techniques to emphasise the colour difference between 'myself' and 'the others'...anyway the story keeps going on about how this person isnt allowed to mix with others because of the trouble and change he will cause...as his characteristics will fade on to them. The story ends with him eventually mixing with them and them acknowlegding his existence and differences....finally it is revealed that the person that gains belonging is not actually a person but a RED sock in a white pile and the reason being that it aint allowed to mix cause his characteristics/colour will fade on to them. I hope they like it

my story was okay i think, did it on a child with special needs who was gifted in music, but didnt show it because his parents blamed him for all their problems and didnt accept him for who he was. only one person had ever accepted him a child carer from an oosh he went to, but his parents forced him to move. it was only when he was about to go into year eleven that his school got a music program, and lo and behold the teacher is his old carer. its only after others in the school hear him play that he begins to be accepted, by the school and later by his parents. hoping it gets good marks

My story was about a woman who had just had a baby and was going back to work. She has to leave her child at daycare but her family are upset at this, but she has to because she has a mortgage etc.

It was about how she felt becoming part of the cold corporate crowd again and having to play a part that she did not want to play...

the HSC, death and dreams

[gypo101]

it was a journal entry from a girl, ever since her mothers death, rejects her and she speaks of her alienation and contrasts the family life they had when her mum was alive etc.

is this too cliched?

A story becomes cliched when it is written using cliched language, not simply the plot/content itself. It really depends on how you've written it. The idea itself sounds okay to me.


My creative writing was a narrative about a man skating through his childhood town realising that he could no longer belong to it anymore because it had changed so much. But I ruined it cause I added in bits about him looking back on how his family used to be close-knit (this was to fit the question) and it turned out super cliched i.e. I used terribly cliched language.
