So, basically I'm using real, places and events from my life aswell as exagerrating the f outa sone of the things that happend, throwing in shit I wished woulda happend and n creating a character based on myself, with my name but a bit of a different background.
I know u cant use other ppls real names unless you got they permission and I'm not sure about places.
Its based in my hometown, n a part of the story revolves around a certain area I used to live and a particular house and I don't know if I can speak if this area.
So its a place called Wongala Estate which is an Aboriginal housing development, and I used to live there and I know I probably shouldn't use the exact address but I can get around that, but I wanna describe the house and family and I don't know the legal ramifications about that.
I was thinking maybe I could refer to the experience but place it somewhere else in town but then my plot is all fucked up.
I'll just google this shit.

What is the purpose of this book?
-
To do what I love.
I might start a website for short stories n poetry n put it up there.
Or send it to a publisher.
I read the book that was the basis for Precious and it wasn't written professionally so maybe ive got a chance of having it published.
Maybe it'll just be a healthy activity for me instead of drinking or getting stoned.
The possibilities are only as limited as my thinking.
