  2. I’m doing a story extract with the style model The Awakening, I’ve annoyed my chosen extract and I’m working on what I’ll write about!

    2. I think I must be tired, as giggling at “I’ve annoyed” ….. I’m pretty sure you mean “annotated”, but still like the image of you becoming infuriated with Edna Pontellier! HA!
      Any ideas how you will make your writing sound like Chopin’s?

  3. This is tegan and im going to write a short story based on sylvia plath. I will write based on the same topic she wrote about in the bell jar – the struggles of growing up and in terms of structure link back the issues using a metaphor (sylvia linked it to being hungry)

    1. Been reading this by Plath recently, feel like it is so relevant at this moment in time and what has been happening in the media!
      “Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed […] to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars–to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording–all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night…”

      She is amazing!!!

  6. My NEA is Ma Jian: Red Dust and its a piece of travel writing as I want to do a travel blog/piece of writing. This person wrote their piece in an anecdotal style to capture the audience and make them feel as though they’re in the destination, however its also very descriptive, almost like story writing. Therefore, I shall write in a way that captures the audience whilst telling a factual story.

  9. Hello! this is Cailin, sorry for a late reply, for my NEA i will be doing a short story too, my style model is from short story writer, and travel journalist Nick Hunt (i know, unlucky name lol, would be worse if it was Mike Hunt!!) with a short story extract named ‘The last of many breeds’-‘The story about the Thylacine’ his work is very descriptive and has a lexical pattern that i will be able to adopt! This piece is written in 3rd person, are you allowed to go into 1st person as well? or do i have to stick exactly to the style model? p.s i am really excited !!

    1. I’m so pleased you are excited – sounds like the perfect style model! You need something you are interested in 🙂 I would have a go at 3rd person….I think at times the omniscient narrator allows for greater depth in its exploration of multiple perspectives!

  10. (Rachel) I think I’m going to write a short story inspired by Robert Coover as my style model – probably his “Going For A Beer” story in the same fast-paced/rushed style, use of speech without direct quotation and written in a 3rd person narrative/written as though reflecting on the past
