1994: Fibs and Fallen Angels

When I was first a bewildered writing student at UTS I was struck, as I still am, by the care that is shown towards new writers and their writing. It’s a consideration that exists outside preciousness, and yet within the confines of something almost as old-fashioned as respect.

I read through text on the computer screen, correcting, deleting, clarifying. I fill my mind with familiar phrases, sentence constructions, patterns of thought created by language.
