Dammit I hate creative writing Lol
I had an idea of a bus driver and how he doesn't belong to society
Coming from the bad experiences I've had with them in the past
But I'm not too sure if it's strong enough for a story and how I'd set it out
Any ideas?

Also, do we have to write a short story in our trials and hsc?
Thanks

what i've been told, is that it doesn't really matter what idea of your story is, it's the way you describe all the features in the story (if you know what i mean).

and yes, you do have to write a short story in both the trials and the HSC.

Not necessarily in a Trial. Schools should have a disclaimer that state: "The following exam does not necessarily reflect the format of the HSC", on the bottom of every exam they give in Yr 12. That means that schools can give you whatever the heck they want in theTrial.

As for the bus driver idea - experiences lend an authenticity to your story - which is good. :)

I will get pissed off if my school deviates. Unless that deviation means cutting out Mod C from the second exam, 'cause I haven't done a single thing for Module C.

about the short story idea - do you have a beginning, mddle and an end? writing about someone who doesn't belong like the bus driver is good, but you need a viable plot to sustain your idea - its generally best not to do the whole inner monologue thing throughout your response
