恭喜LZ了。看了LZ列出来的长串名单,就觉得考一次私校真的很不容易。
我记得那个SHARON DU小朋友是不是上次有另外一个爸爸写女儿得全奖帖子里提到的,那个写MY MELBOURNE的诗歌得第一名的女孩子啊?她写得真的很好诶 ...
是的,就是那个sharon Du, 2008年墨尔本文学奖第一名,报纸上有报道。她在写作上是很有天分的。我是她 的fans. 她性格也很有趣幽默。告诉我:我自己喜欢的诗歌都得不了奖,不喜欢的诗歌都要得奖。
Hiya Auntie ,
I wrote a random poem at home today. Also, I wrote another poem, a while ago (maybe a week?)
Anyway, they are both attached. Which one do you like better?
I might enter one of them in a competition some time but I'm not sure. Anyway, while I hate hate hate
'All Around You' I feel satisfied with these. However, poems I am satisfied with never win competitions. ??
Therefore, in future I will only submit the poems I hate hate hate into competitions, because I KNOW they will win!
Or maybe not. Something may prove me wrong.
I admit that 'Not Singing but Screaming' has far better plan, title, and abjectives in it, but Doorstop is just... I don't know,
contemplative? Is that the word?
I need to find a better title than Doorstop. Otherwise, the judge will look at it and think, "Meh. That's just weird." and ditch it.
From,

P.S. Harmony likes Doorstop. It is chewy. What fun are stupid fishy mermaids anyway?
Sharon 的写作经验
Sharon 的写作经验真的很好,这么小的年纪已经体会到了写作的core.
Harmony 是她们家的小狗:
Ok, well, there aren't any 'secrets' to writing I can share with you, but there are tips.
Number one, writing has to come from the heart. Everyone can do this, but few people can put the language of emotion into words.
Number two, when you write, you have to think of beautiful things. For example, I've attached the pictures that inspire me. It is good to have them open or as a background when you are writing. Writing has to be beautiful, even when describing dreary things. The sounds of the words matter too, for example, scintillating seems to me the shine on a dragonfly's wings, while gleam, even though it means the same thing, sounds much more like the shine on a refrigerator.
Number three, no characters can be perfect. Always derive characters from real life, and give them faults. Nicknamed 'Mary Sues' and 'Gary Sues' perfect character do not make the reader interested. In fact, I read some books just to laugh at the Mary Sues in them. For example, I think Arya in Eragon is an awful Mary Sue, and is so easily angered I have a tendency to call her 'Arya the Angry'. Up with the 'emotional control' jokes already. However, I find Scarlett O'Hara in 'Gone with the Wind' a good character because, well, she is no Mary Sue. She has good faults, and she is very real to me. When I try to imagine Arya as a real person, it is all blurry and a Barbie doll pops into mind, but Scarlett is clear, very clear.
Number four, and most importantly, writing has to be real. Even fantasy stories need to have some kind of 'realish zest' to them. Describe them as if it were real. For example:
No realism text:
A beautiful blonde princess sat in the tower, her tears falling down her perfect plum cheeks.
Realism:
A striking blonde princess stood at the tower window. At first sight, she was too beautiful to be true, but when you looked closely, crystal tears fell down her cheeks and into the wilting grass below. The trees whistled along, and her golden hair, full of tangles, nearly fell to the dry, parched ground, with only her tears to water it.
See how more interesting the second one was? Everything needs to have some faults.
I have not included any of the common things they tell you such as 'Read to Write' or 'Practice to Perfection'. But I'm sure you already know these things, and I hate repetition, so let's scoot to the end.

In conclusion, you have now read the Guide to Writing by XXX. HBMR (Heart, Beauty, Mary Sues and Realism) invented in a few seconds of skimming.
BTW, thank you tons for giving me the tips to maths, I'm sure I will remember it in future. In fact, I have already started to use it. Have a very happy new year.

P.S. Harmony has not benefited from this guide at all. For H, he thinks about tender beef. For B, he thinks of biscuits baking. For M, he thinks about his girlfriend, and for 'R' he thinks about being shut in the damn laundry for a few hours while the family go out for Chinese New Year.
