Last week we posted about the launch of our guest tutor William Dewey\u2019s latest book The Homeland of Pure Joy. The launch was a very enjoyable evening, and I\u2019m looking forward to settling down to read the book. If you didn\u2019t manage to make it out, you can still pick up a copy from Unity Books Wellington, or directly from the Lawrence and Gibson website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over here at Brain Bunny Headquarters, we\u2019ve had some more good news. We\u2019d like to send a big congratulations out to one of our students Pilar, who\u2019s short story came second place in a competition run by her school, Johnsonville Main School. Pilar\u2019s story was entitled Life which was the theme of the competition. I had a chance to read Pilar\u2019s story, during the feedback week of last term\u2019s classes, and I was very impressed with her work. You can read Pilar’s story, along with the other winning entries on the Johnsonville Main School’s website here<\/a>. Congratulations, Pilar \u2013 it was very well deserved.<\/p>\n Writing tip: Ideas for stories or poems can come from just about anywhere, but sometimes it\u2019s hard to remember all of them! Try keeping a notebook just for ideas. Write down ideas for plots, lines of dialogue, characters and settings, even if they\u2019re not complete. If you\u2019re an artist or photographer, you may like to add or collect pictures too. You may not end up using all of the ideas straight away, but it will be a great source of inspiration the next time you\u2019ve got a touch of writer\u2019s block!<\/p>\n Happy Writing! 16 November 2012 Last week we posted about the launch of our guest tutor William Dewey\u2019s latest book The Homeland of Pure Joy.
