Hi from New Zealand! My name is Danielle. I'm 14 years old and i'm in the Strangers programme in the Nelson region. I was born in Nelson as with my parents and my nana. But my family has lived in New Zealand for several generations. This strangers programme has been really good for me, to meet new people and to try something new which is playwriting. I'm into music, i get singing and keyboard lessons. I think this is a great programme, linking in with Wales and Slough countries. It'll be cool to see how we all link up and our productions all fall together.

My scene that im writing is about a boy (Percivall) who has run away from the orphanage. He can't go back and he is desperatly looking for a place to stay. He finds a place to stay for one night. He is inside talking and looking around the husbands and wifes home (the husband is the Sargent from another scene) when he knocks over and breaks something precious of the Sargents. It becomes a bit awkard.
This scene basically shows that Percivall has nowhere to go and needs somewhere to stay since he's run away form the orphanage.

I'm really enjoying being part of Strangers and i can't wait to hear form everyone else and to see your scripts.
bye!!! :)

I agree Melissa, it is going to be a hit! This blog is such a cool way of shraring ideas and seeing how everything is progressing, isn't it? You guys in NZ are doing a great job of raising the writing stakes - all the storyline ideas and charcters sound very ineresting and I love the way you're interlinking your characters through different scenes...

Mel - got any more ideas for adfing some of your own writing yet now you can see where things are heading...?

Also, whats the breaking news from our US reporter?! ;)
