Christine, a multiple City of Melton Short Story Competition winner gave her views on what it takes to make a story stand out. She is proud that her work, Fair Fight, will be published in this year's Award Winning Australian Writing 2016.
Christine made a point of saying different things had helped her writing. One was being part of a writing group, this had helped because she had other like minded people to read and critique her work. She advised writers to use all of the five senses to put the reader into the story, so they can see, taste, hear and feel what the writer is saying.Every word has to count in a short story so the writer needs to ask if it has a reason to be in your work.
Fair Fight took weeks of work to get it into shape before she submitted it.
Award Winning Australian Writing was launched at the beginning of Spring and should be available from a bookstore near you.
A talented writer who works hard at her craft and is a local role model for other writers.
