"This paper is concerned with the practicalities of writing stories of 'me' in the frame of an interest in taking up alternatives to the positions offered by dominant social narratives of identity. It draws on the work of a women's community writing and publishing group in the ACT (Homefront, 1988-1992) and in particular looks at the writing practice I developed with the group over three series of workshops and two publications. The focus of this approach is working with and against various forms of writing. It is situated in a wider theoretical interest in 'changing the storylines' which I am currently exploring through my PhD thesis topic, 'Re-writing Self and Community'." --Author's abstract
