lol omg sikhman you sound exactly like my good ex english teacherencorperate = incorporate
verrasamilitude = verisimilitude
cleche' = clichéd
spelling might help...
think its a good idea, but remember that the immigration thing will probably be done to death - I reckon it's a good idea to have the whole report for school thing (adds something else in rather than just someone reflecting).
In terms of writing, I guess what works for me is to just sit down and write. Write as much as you can. Doesn't matter if it's not perfect yet, or if it's clichéd, just write it.
Once you're done, leave it for an hour, do something else, go back to it and edit it. Then repeat until you're happy with it. That way you can change the clichéd stuff etc.
I don't know the best way, but that's just what works for me (and creatives are my worst section in english)
It is valid and it fits. However, be careful with how you write it, as it can become very hackneyed if not written with conviction.I was going to write about a gay couple going to a dinner party, and how one half is worried about not being accepted by his partner's family, for obvious reasons.
Is this a valid idea? Does it fit into the belonging concept?
+1The only thing I remember about the Department was that I thought it was a shit movie because everyone died.
Have you read the Namesake by any chance? as in, one of the PRESCRIBED TEXTS which is about EXACTLY that. For gods sake, do NOT do that as your creative, unless you want 0.Mine is kind of lame and totally generic and badly written and uncompleted. It's about a 2nd generation migrant who was born in Australia and still feels connections towards her homeland. She struggles to find a place where she really belongs because while she has grown up around her Australian friends and peers, her parents' ethnic background and cultural values have significantly influenced her.
i think thats a no go..as a lot of people will be doing thatwrite a belonging story that relates to race, culture or even familial belonging (family)
by swimming in the billabong, does he meet a bunyip and forms a relationship with it/him/her?burns victim, with scares over 85% of his body, who lives in rual austraila can only find peace swiming alone in a billobong, in the very forest that he was burnt in during the christmas bushfires.....=)
Could work if executed correctly. You'd want to really plan it though.all i have to say is don't write a story about an internet pedo like i did ==", i some how started off with the kids in the yard playing in the snow and somehow they ended up inside talking in a chat room
so true.you can't really not be cliche, there dont seem to be mnay original ideas left in the world
