My Writing Space
By Alissa, Year 10
A question that ponders in my mind often is what other people’s writing spaces are like. I love writing stories on my bed, a place that holds comfort, a place that allows my imagination to run free; my writing space. As I lay on the cloud-like cushion, moulding against my back, a rush of ease travels through my body. I close my eyes, rather than seeing all black I feel as if I entered a realm, like I’m in another universe.
The silence to write freely.
Worlds fill the page as the cool breeze brushes past the surface of my skin. When the window is left ajar it feels like ideas are rushing into my mind with the wind.
My Writing Space by Alissa is an excerpt from Postcode Stories 2176. Throughout 2024, Story Factory worked with the students at Prairiewood High School to produce a collection of stories and poems about place and belonging. From fantasy prose to poetic memoir, the students’ musing and individual approaches to storytelling demonstrate their highly personal connections to place. Their words are proudly published in the final book, Postcode Stories.
Postcode Stories was supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
