4th day in perth

Today, we visited an author and young, live in residence authors. Archimede Fisillio is an author of over 20 books. His books are mainly based on his life up till now. He especially noted on the two books, " The Dons" and " Bruises, Boys don't cry..". The stories are based on his grandmother and his dear friend whom has already passed away. They are heart moving stories twisted around these two characters and how they lived their life. He told us their background, how much he meant to them and how they died. It moved us to tears. Afterwards, we had a marvelous lunch at "Nandos" and proceeded to the young writers in residence where writers aged 18+ write short stories and try to get it published. A writer, Eliza, has just recently gotten one of her stories, " Skin on Skin" published. They explained the frustrations and persistence they had to go through just to get their books published and how their passion to write a book started.Well that's about it for today.. Night people!^^
