Subject: Story project - help needed!
Hi all,
It's great reading all your posts recently though I haven't been saying much - and I was so moved by your mention of the bush fires. I just can't imagine how horrible it was. It seems out of my scope of imagination somehow.
Anyway, I'm in need of a little help so I thought the best way of getting that was to throw it out to all you and see what I get back. I'm working on a new project and it's all about stories. So all you need to do is answer a few select questions which are temptingly located below. My eternal gratefulness will be yours forever. I thought you, the maker of stories, would have a lot to say on the subject....
1) If you had to describe what a story is to a baby/ alien/ child raised by wolves, how would you describe it?
2) What is your favorite story?
3) What does a story have to do to make you cry?
4) What does a story have to do to make you laugh?
5) What story do you tell all the time? Please tell it to us. Pleeeease. Pretty please.
6) What was the last item of news that you remember/ was moved by? Why did it have staying power?
7) When is a lie OK?
If you want to send your answers backchannel that would be great (or share them with all) whichever suits you best!
Thanks a million,
Heather
