RE: The Biscuit Shrub - a Short Story - Sndbox Summer Camp Writing - Task 2
This is a beautiful story. As an Australian I can relate to this.. my Aunty was Polish and entire family German. I wondered what the iced vovo tree was... does it really smell like that? Ah, we can feel so parochial, can't we? I'd love to read your other stories... this is the best I have read on Steemit thus far. I would love you to read mine and critique but its no where near as clever as this!
Thank you! Are you on Writers Block? I've joined but haven't really done anything there yet. Omce I get my footing (and hopefully maintain current brain ability, critting your story would be cool!)
You know, I wrote this story quite a few years ago now, and ever since then I've been trying to identify what that shrub or tree is. It really does send me back to my childhood. All these years and its identity has remained elusive, so I just went with a red boronia after searching for fragrant shrubs to illustrate this post. I really wish I could suss out what it is. I think they're reasonably common in Melbourne front yards.
I wonder what it was!!! In the story, I imagined a bigger tree being transplanted. I dont know about writer's block - what is it?
critting??
Yeah, they workshop your stuff. It looks really good. Here's their intro: https://steemit.com/writing/@gmuxx/meet-the-writers-block
