Before You Scroll Down...

I just want to say thank you for dropping by. My name is Michele Hii and I'm an aspiring writer. I have two blogs on Blogspot.com ("Life of A Writer" and "The Magic Mimosa Plant") and one blog on Wordpress.com that is left hanging (it's called Aspiring Lines and I'll get it active again someday this summer). You might ask me "Whoa, that's a lot of blogs. Why you're creating this fourth blog?" Well, you see, I have this dream of sharing my life with other people. I've taken four creative writing classes in Douglas College in BC, Canada, and my favourites among the classes are Personal Narrative and Memoir Writing. I just love to write about my past experiences and I love experimenting with story structures (linear timeline forms are my favourite), plus poetic phrases. Since I've shared a fair amount of my life stories with colleagues in two semesters, I decided to work on my first memoir. So this blog is all about my memoir. I'll post in-progress chapters here, and I'll find time to edit and rewrite before transforming these stories into a book.

But before we begin, I would like to share a little bit on what my memoir is all about. Towards the Sunset, Beneath the Snow is about a series of memories I can remember from my toddler years to my migration with my family to Canada. It's a basically a journey about how God has arranged all different kinds of people for me to meet, the experiences, for me to suffer and smile, as well as how I discover my passion in writing poetry and stories. I choose this title because I combine a sunset from Malaysia and snow from Canada into one picture to tell my readers that two worlds can connect into one big influence in my life.

List of Chapters
I'll post the chapter list later...
