I am currently doing my Master research and one of the books is used as my textual analysis. I am a writer myself and had posted stories online. I thought of wanting my work published but I'm afraid my stories won't get accepted because it is out of the norm. Nonetheless, if there will be a chance for silverfish books to open up again, I would sent one of my stories just to hear the feedbacks. I have read the stories from the books and some really moved me, some made me cry, some made me think. Isn't that a good thing? Writing is a platform for us to present our perceptions to the world and it can be highly influential. If a piece of writing can influence Malaysian towards betterment, why not continue?Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003204799957192077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-72273936653657399302007-11-03T19:23:00.000+08:002007-11-03T19:23:00.000+08:00my own impression is that there is a lot more happ...my own impression is that there is a lot more happening than there used to be in kl and a regular live lit events calendar. though of course less in other parts of the country ...<BR/><BR/>certainly there could be more in the way of publications. i was talking to a friend over lunch who is considering starting an online journal.

I've been a wannabe writer since I was eleven or twelve; ended up writing fanfiction instead for a number of years, and and just now, tentatively, starting to pick up the old dreams.<BR/><BR/>I bought the first-ever Silverfish anthology as a teenager, and haven't followed it for years now, but only recently found out about its closing down, which prompted a discussion with a fellow Malaysian about the (small, at best, as far as we can tell from overseas) current English literary scene in M'sia. With that in mind, we were thinking of starting a biannual electronic journal to promote Malaysian fiction and poetry writing. <BR/><BR/>Is this something you think Malaysian writers would get behind? It wouldn't be intended to be a replacement for the role that Silverfish played - we're both young and with limited resources - but hopefully, it would make a contribution towards creating a cohesive Malaysian 'literary scene' to build up Malaysian writing talent. <BR/><BR/>My blog is at http://readerofasaph.livejournal.com and my friend's post regarding the possible journal is at http://aiwritingfic.livejournal.com/373860.html<BR/><BR/> - Cheah Su LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-19547053361831652452007-10-08T12:12:00.000+08:002007-10-08T12:12:00.000+08:00I think people are still in denial.
