1. A Most Memorable Meal Indeed The most memorable meal for me is one I had once a year in childhood. There weren’t many memorable meals back then, it was more a matter of eat what was given and hope it was enough. During the summer months, we children usually ate from the...

Without God There Can Be Good I originally wrote the following as a response to an article by Peter Hitchens, brother of the late Christopher Hitchens, and his opinion article: Without God There Can be No Good, published today.

3. Youngness in the Dark Ages I was telling a confidante about my childhood some years ago, and she said: 'It sounds like you grew up in a different time, more like the Dickens era than the 1950s.' I thought about that and decided it was more like the Dark Ages. There is so... (posted by Hannah 191 days 1 hour ago.)

4. The Land of Giants and Aladdin's Cave Hmm. I struggle with the answer. I always do when anyone asks me what is my favourite ...? And I’ve attempted to write this several times. In the end, I’ve decided I have to par it down, and down, and down. As I can’t include all... (posted by Hannah 226 days 1 hour ago.)

5. What I Love What do I love about...? Ah, this is a loaded question. Let's start with Searchwarp since it is the actual writing assignment. I love that it is an open forum which encourages a multitude of opinions, views and ideas. When I first joined, many of... (posted by Hannah 231 days 17 hours ago.)

6. Finding Ideas for Writing I've written several articles on ideas for stories. I believe ideas should be the easiest part, is the easiest part, but for a very many writers it is the first and biggest stumbling block. The fact is, though, ideas are everywhere....

7. Sense of Personal Place Is a Fascinating Concept I offer my respects to the original owners of where I grew up, to the elders and the ancestors of the Wurundjeri People.

8. What is an Atheist? Firstly, I do not speak on behalf of all atheists; I am not a proponent of ‘atheism’ which is too fervent and somewhat closed-minded; nor do I belong to any particular type of movement or group other than the human one/s. People... (posted by Hannah 280 days 19 hours ago.)

9. Hobbies? Or addictions? I have many hobbies I suppose. I don't necessarily think of them as hobbies but more as expressions of who I am. Are they hobbies? To think about what they are, I need to list them: Music (playing and listening) and singing (loudly and sometimes... (posted by Hannah 284 days 21 hours ago.)

10. More on Can Writers be Taught to Write? I've been asked many times if writers can be taught. So have my writer friends, especially those who teach writing. Quite a few people come down heavily on one side or the other of this question. Yes, you can teach people to write. No, you can't... (posted by Hannah 2 years 31 days ago.)

11. Getting Ideas for Stories Believe it or not, ideas for stories are everywhere. Yet, it is one of the most common questions. Many writers are looking for a guide list.

12. The Hungry Ghosts by Anne Berry "This then is how I come to stave off death, with nothing but my will for weaponry. And it is how, paradoxically, I find myself housed in a sepulchre of death. My voice might be weaker but still it cries, I am not ready yet. Not yet.' ... (posted by Hannah 2 years 302 days ago.)

13. Can You Teach A Writer How to Write? Yes ! (and) No! This is a common and interesting debate, and often carries a touch of snobbery about it - on the anti side that is, which doesn't automatically make the anti side incorrect. But, is it? First, what does it mean: teach... (posted by Hannah 2 years 357 days ago.)

14. Art, Nudity, Censorship and Children The recent furore over the latest Bill Henson exhibition has, largely, died down.

17.

Two Powerful Strategies that can Change your Life How I gave up smoking in just three weeks I was 19, smoking two packs a day and couldn't go out in the night air without a long and painful coughing fit.

19. My Cat Lets Me Share His Castle Leo is big, long-haired and aptly named - definitely the King. The vet has this comment on Leo's record: Big, wild tom. Big? Yes.
