Short Story 1 students - read Peter Goldsworthy's List of All Possible Answers. Create characters using your own lists - a list of To Do's on the 'fridge, a list of loves and hates on MySpace, a list of fears, a wishlist, a hit list. Read 'How to Get Ideas' in the resource book. There's an interview with Peter Goldsworthy talking about his new novel, Everything I Knew, here.
Novel 2A students - read the piece from Peter Carey's His Illegal Self. Again this is a piece which switches point of view, though it's written in the third person. Also read 'Plot and Character' (page 23). Answer the questions on p. 22 regarding your character/s. Read the interview with Peter Carey here.
