    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

Glossy Hollowed Out Pseudo-Stories

Monday, Aug 15th, 2011 by Anita

“A culture cannot evolve without honest, powerful storytelling.

When society repeatedly experiences glossy, hollowed-out pseudo-stories, it degenerates.

We need true satires and tragedies, dramas and comedies that shine a light into the dingy corners of the human psyche and society.”

- Robert McKee
