It isn't a book that can be pidgeonholed into a specific genre and uses an ingenious structure that incorporates excerpts, blog entries and two different styles to tell the tale of the main character, who is an emerging writer.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/australasian-postgraduate-students-group" class="og_links">Australasian Postgraduate Students Group</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/book-i-read-had-share">read more</a></p> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/book-i-read-had-share#comments Reading lists Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Tue, 05 Oct 2010 20:42:37 -0400 JWildy 354 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au attack on creative writing 'racket' by columnist Lisa Pryor http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/attack-creative-writing-racket-columnist-lisa-pryor <p>Anyone feel like mounting a group response to the nasty bit of tall poppy slashing exhibited by Lisa Pryor from the SMH last week?</p> <p>Here's the guts of it:</p> <p>"if you can't work out what good writing is by reading widely, if you need it spelled out slowly with the benefit of a circle of plastic chairs and a whiteboard, you lack the mettle to be a great novelist.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/australasian-postgraduate-students-group" class="og_links">Australasian Postgraduate Students Group</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/attack-creative-writing-racket-columnist-lisa-pryor">read more</a></p> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/attack-creative-writing-racket-columnist-lisa-pryor#comments Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:53:15 -0500 janene 283 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au 2010 diaries at the ready? http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/2010-diaries-ready <h3>New from ASAL 2010.</h3> <h2><strong>http://asaliterature.com/</strong></h2> <h3></h3> <h3>Conferences</h3> <div class="post-info">Archived Posts from this Category</div> <p> </p> <div class="post"> <p class="post-date">Tue 19 Jan 2010</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/student-editor-month" class="og_links">Student Editor of the Month</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/2010-diaries-ready">read more</a></p> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/2010-diaries-ready#comments Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Student Editor of the Month Student Chat Wed, 03 Feb 2010 03:56:57 -0500 cacroker 278 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au Back in Oz finally http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/back-oz-finally <p>Welcome as final student editor for 2009, Natalie. The AAWP Conference is always stimulating (and a great party too). Luckily this site allows us to maintain our networks and keep abreast of each other's research work. It is getting very close to Xmas and I have a final draft of paper before sendinng to Gail. Then there is my exegesis needing to be whipped into formal shape before the New Year dawns. Oh dear, can someone extend my days with extra hours and top up my energy levels whilst at it. I hope I can keep typing into this blog as the year draws to a close.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/student-editor-month" class="og_links">Student Editor of the Month</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/back-oz-finally">read more</a></p> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/back-oz-finally#comments Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Student Editor of the Month Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:23:53 -0500 cacroker 267 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au Conference Paper opportunity 2010 http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/conference-paper-opportunity-2010 <p>Just thought I would let everybody know that the University of Sydney is offering a grant for to attend a Conference on Patrick White in London next year.</p> <p><strong>Modernist impact/Critical futures</strong><br />23-25 June 2010<br />Institute of English Studies University of London</p> <p><strong>Call for papers</strong></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/workshop-publishing-process" class="og_links">Workshop - the Publishing Process</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/conference-paper-opportunity-2010">read more</a></p> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/conference-paper-opportunity-2010#comments Student Editor of the Month Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Workshop - the Publishing Process Student Chat Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:53:14 -0400 cacroker 213 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au Really really bracing time management advice! http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/really-really-bracing-time-management-advice <p>Hi Carol,</p> <p>Don't feel lonely on this site - even if people aren't posting I'm sure they're reading as usually several 'guests' are around. Besides, there has been much more interaction lately than previously. Also, as you say, maybe we're all being exceptionally good with our time management.</p> <p>I found a really bracing set of guidelines addressing time management for writers. I think its worth reading, even though I usually cringe when managerial fads are deployed beyond their natural scope.</p> <p>The full doc is at </p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/blogitorial" class="og_links">Blogitorial</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/really-really-bracing-time-management-advice">read more</a></p> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/really-really-bracing-time-management-advice#comments Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Blogitorial Tue, 17 Feb 2009 17:57:27 -0500 janene 163 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au Slogging towards the Ma! and fighting writers block http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/slogging-towards-ma-and-fighting-writers-block <p>I admit it I am a lowly Ma but I promise I am working (I use the term loosely lol) towards a PhD, as well as about a thousand other unfinished projects. </p> <p> </p> <p>How do people cope with writers block? because I'm finding I am struggling with it in my 'hobby' writing ie my personal escape from adademic writing. </p> <p> </p> <p>Top 3 strategies :</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/australasian-postgraduate-students-group" class="og_links">Australasian Postgraduate Students Group</a></li> </ul></div> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/slogging-towards-ma-and-fighting-writers-block#comments Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Tue, 10 Feb 2009 18:19:36 -0500 JWildy 160 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au How's your PhD going? http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/hows-your-phd-going <p>It's a question every PhD student hates. I had an epiphany about it recently: I realised that the response I usually feel is called for - a painfully honest assessment of progress against my timetable - probably isn't even necessary. People ask the question as a conversation-opener; they are nodding in the direction of an all-consuming preoccupation, not initiating an interrogation about whether you're likely to finish on time. It would be sufficient - and more pleasant for both parties - to recount some recent triumph, like finishing a chapter or sending off an article to a journal.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/content/australasian-postgraduate-students-group" class="og_links">Australasian Postgraduate Students Group</a></li> </ul></div> http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au/content/hows-your-phd-going#comments Australasian Postgraduate Students Group Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:53:18 -0400 janene 106 at http://www.writingnetwork.edu.au
