Perth - day 4

Woke up at the same time and got forced out the bed . Today there was 2 workshop . First workshop was with this famous writer Archie Fusillo. He told us he join this line because of his year 10 English teacher which gave him non-stop of encouragement. He at first wrote stories about his people around him like a poor old man whom took care of a toy doll because his son died in a fire when he was at work , stories about his 'gang' etc. His life stories are the best , as it is real and many emotion inside , many cried at the moment. He wrote a storybook called The Dons where it is a story which was based on his death of his lovely . grandmother. Many wanted to buy the book but sadly it was sold out. Hoping to get in tomorrow.

After that , we had nandos for lunch, after that we when to the katherine Susanna Writers center and talk to 3 short stories writer. we learn that they have a lot of rejection when the send the stories to publishing house and they did not gave up and continue sending it . I was surprise by that motivation and passion for writing.

We ended the day with yummy dinner and free-flow of ice-cream, food at the end was also so unhealthy but i enjoyed a lot . Today i also went alone cos my friends were sick .. Haiz hope they get well soon
 Nights :D
