Week Fourteen

This week was much the same as last, there was naturally no lecture, and all I had was the tutorial. The tutorial had a grand number of three people in it, possibly four? It was hard to tell, as there were other students in there, doing class work from their own courses. It was yet again a tutorial where we were able to work on our assignments. Over the weekend I did finally think of an idea for my geo-narrative. It all stated with a wanting to write about a government conspiracy. With a helpful idea from my mother, I started developing possible plot lies centred on the Swine flu. I decided to set it in a not to distant alternative future, where the swine flu has in fact mutated, and has spread across the whole of Australia. With this idea, I just stared piecing together a beginning, and I went from there. At this moment in time, I am about half way though the story and I have no idea how I am going to conclude it. But this is how I write my creative work, I let things pan out naturally, I don’t really like planning stories, I like to take a journey, and see were my words and characters take me. Along the way I naturally do a lot of research, and already I have looked at train times in Sydney, as well as Jet Star flight times from Sydney to Gold Coast. Gold Coast you ask? Well I decided to set my story at places where I have actually been. Firstly so I have knowledge of the appearance, and secondly I have photos of these places. Fingers crossed that it works.
