I'm now becoming excited about another of my units (there are four in total): News Journalism.
I've found a quote from Helen Garner considering journalism as a form of professional writing in between writing books, theatre or screen plays:
I've found a quote from Helen Garner considering journalism as a form of professional writing in between writing books, theatre or screen plays:
"You forget how hard you have to work, to make a freelance living. Also there's a kind of snobbery that makes you forget everything you've done except books. They stand up in the landscape behind you, visible at a distance and clearly marked with dates while the non-fiction and the journalism lie flat, forming a dense, prickly undergrowth" (Garner, 1997, p 7).
Not as easy as the 'just watch television' instructions from my Screenwriting unit, but instead, inspirational, which is what I need.

My night was good as well
Ryan had a good time too, his last Fri night out with normal hair (he's doing shave for a cure this coming Friday) and is scared what he's gunna look like with a shaved head lol, so he made the most of his hair on Fri night lol
She has been a gateway into the wide world; a safe passage from youth to adulthood in more ways than one. She has been kind and loyal to the well-keeping ladies of the manor.
Much love; may she bring joy to the hearts of women until her boned walls are bare and her white blood stains the dirt beneath.
Beautiful! Thank you. Since cutting my hair, I have gone through a feminine metamorphosis. Kinda like your makeup adventures. I have plucked my eyebrows significantly thinner, am wearing nailpolish, and no longer have hairy underarms or legs. And I am thinking of going blonde. Did I mention that? I may have.
PS - yes, non-fiction can be like dense undergrowth. But sometimes it's like a seasonal flower that only occasionally blooms enough to be noticed. See Chloe Hooper's story on Palm Island, featured in The Monthly. It won a Wakely Award.
