Leaving an old life, wild car rides, love's battles, the zest of aging...😊What a joy recently, to present a session on humour as a truth-telling device, to the wordsmiths at @sydney_uni's Masters of Creative Writing program.Trading tales with esteemed author and lecturer Dr. @blindybop (Belinda Castles), in a university ranked 18th globally and top in Australia, I expected talent! But these storytellers were breathtaking.Sunlight through the tall windows warmed the room as we chatted, laughed, and shared heartfelt pieces. The campus whispered stories of its own through the echoes of the corridors.Then a visit to the @arthousehotel on Pitt Street with sassy Sydneysiders @leeussher, @jphogbin @robynejones, and @faridlzaki, a perfect prelude to some Jetstar night turbulence and deep breathing on the trip back to Melbourne 😉 . . . #authorslife #writingclass #sydneylifestyle #sydneylife #storiesoftheeveryday #authortalk #storywriting #spilledwords #writingprompt #lovetowrite #writerslifeforme #madewords #fictionwriting #literaryfiction #fictional #writersworld #writingskills #writingmotivation #writingsociety #writersociety #writercommunity #writerssociety #writerscircle #writinglove #writingabook #fictionwriting #australianauthors #australianauthor #literaryfiction #fictionwriter @transitloungepublishing @rmitwp @literary_listings

✍️Writers talk about keeping a story 'real,' but what if the story involves a home robbery and a policeman finding a female pleasure device on the front lawn?💥This sassy tale came up during an online author chat/writing workshop with the Pascoe Vale gals book club, Melbourne. After some laughter, we discussed the fear of sharing words from vulnerable places. These book-addicts, well-versed in good storytelling, surprised themselves with just ten minutes to write (and less time to worry):✨"The framed photo of my grandma in the hallway. I look for the dreams in her. The history of women before her. I see myself." ✨"My rings are interlaced, stories of cobblestoned streets in France, the moments of being nowhere." ✨"I left my home without a bra." ✨"I did it. I called the pet psychic." ✨"Friendship can disappear like ashes."Thanks for the chuckles and chats: Nicole, Angela, Michelle, Mandy, Deb, Narelle, and Tanya. (Robbery writer identity protected) 😎. #storiesoftheeveryday #spilledwords #writingprompt #writingskills #writingmotivation #writinglove #ilovewriting #lovetowrite #writersworld #writingsociety #writercommunity #writerscircle #fictionwriter #fictionwriting @pvgc_official @societyofwomenwritersvictoria @transitloungepublishing @rmitwp @literarylistings @readingsbooks #literaryfiction #booksaremylife #readinglife #readerlife #bookwormlife #booknerds #bookreading #readingcorner #readingforfun #whattoreadnext #australianauthor #aussieauthor #authorslife
