Question Time, Stories that matter

Indigenous Literacy Day: Getting Great Books into Remote Communities premium
As a child who grew up surrounded by books, and often spent more time in fictional worlds than the real one, it’s difficult to imagine a life without them. But for many children, particularly those in remote Aboriginal communities, this is a sad reality. Did you know: Only 1 in 5 kids in a NT […]

Thank you so much for the 7 writing prompts. I'm the family genealogist and my son wants to do a story for NaNoWriMo. We'll each write a story to end on November 30th. Oh boy! Your prompts will definitely help.
In 7 Writing Prompts for Memoir and Family History
Hi Adele, thanks for reading! Thanks for the Twelve Moons recommendation too. Your chain was very interesting too. The only one I had read was Looking for Alibrandi, but I would love to have seen Peach Season by Debra Oswald performed on stage. (If anyone else would like to see Adele's chain you can find it over on her blog: https://adeleboundinbooks.blog/2025/10/05/6-degrees-of-separation-2025-october-4/).
