The provocative side of me that likes to cucuk and watch everyone react in horror. <BR/><BR/>Malaysia is such an amazing sensitive nation - yes it really makes it fun to write. And those of us who read or watch daring writing huddle gleefully and wish we could do the same.<BR/><BR/>To substantially paraphrase Jo K, more of us should write about the big elephant that dances in our midst but everyone pretends doesn't exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-71298880599861811042007-11-26T22:51:00.000+08:002007-11-26T22:51:00.000+08:00haiz... not again... 2nd time that TTE going south...haiz... not again... 2nd time that TTE going south to Singapore and I'm not in town.

And how will any novelist know what those limits are if no-one is prepared to challenge them? (But can we in fairness expect authors to stick their necks out when the renumeration for writing a novel is so scant?)"<BR/><BR/>Interesting! And I agree with you -it's obviously harder to write about something that not many have done before. I don't think that we as readers can't *expect* writers themselves to push the limits of convention, but we should definitely encourage it!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373281528805014709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-14724823917342726152007-11-25T12:39:00.000+08:002007-11-25T12:39:00.000+08:00she's been an author for a while already. you hav...she's been an author for a while already. you have to buy her book now!bibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-58717697547016087622007-11-25T11:19:00.000+08:002007-11-25T11:19:00.000+08:00omg she's my english teacher back in my high schoo...omg she's my english teacher back in my high school days..<BR/>cikgu devika bai..<BR/>she's an author now.. cool.MHidzir aka Embunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402045199077696679noreply@blogger.com
