Kia ora anō tātau te hunga i ngākau nui ki tēnei hui i ngā rā tata nei kua pahure. Harakoakoa ana te ngākau i tae wawe mai tātau ki taua hui rā. Ka mihi ki a koutou te hunga i tae ake, nā mātau o Huia te karanga, te pōhiri hoki, ā, ko koutou te hunga i huri mai ngā māhunga, i ara ake te tinana, i kuhu ki wā koutou waka ki te whakatinana i ngā wawata, i ngā tumanako, i ngā hiahia hoki mō tēnei hui. Nā koutou rawa i rangatira ai tēnei hui kaituhi o Huia. He mihi paku noa ēnei ki a koutou, ki a tātau katoa hoki i runga anō i ngā mahi i mahia i taua hui. Kāti, kia huri ake te aro ki ngā mahi i mahia.
Arā noa atu te whānui o te kupu, o te kōrero i whakaputaina, i rangonahia e tātau. Mai i ngā tohunga kua māro kē te haere i roto i ngā mahi tuhituhi, tae noa mai ki a tātau e noho pīpī heihei ana ki ēnei mahi. He momo, he momo. Ā, ko te tumanako kia whakakīkīhia ngā pokorua o ngā rauemi kei te reo Māori. Arā, ko ngā pukapuka "novels" me ērā atu o ngā momo pukapuka.
Hei tīmata ake i ngā kōrero kia huri ake tātau ki te pukapuka a Brigid Lowry, e kī ana;
WHY BEING A WRITER IS GOOD:
You get paid to make stuff up
You get to travel because it's research
You can stay home and work in your pyjamas
WHY BEING A WRITER IS BAD:
Sitting all by yourself in your study for hours is lonely
Koinei rā ētahi o ngā hua me ngā raru o te tuhituhi kōrero, arā atu anō pea ētahi, engari koinei ngā mea ka pōkia rā koe i te wā tuatahi, inā, noho ai koe he tuhituhi anahe ngā mahi.
He mahi pārekareka te tuhituhi. E kawea ai koe ki ngā haerenga pōhewa, ki te ao hoki o pae mahara. E hahua ake ai te aroha, te pōuritanga, te hokinga mahara ki wā tātau tipuna, koroua, kuia hoki, ki tētahi rānei kua ngaro atu. Kua tōia mai ki te māramatanga, kia tūhonohono ai anō tātau ki a tātau, tangata ki te tangata.
Anei ētahi pukapuka kua whakaputaina e Huia, ko "Whio" nā Materoa Haenga, ko "Raru" nā Waikare Kruger, ko "Ūkaipo" nā Hans Tiakiwai me "E te Tau" nā Manu Te Awa.
Koinei nga pukapuka i titoa mai e Katerina Te Heikoko Mataira, ko Rēhua, ko Hōkio me Maungaroa. Kei runga rawa atu te kuia nei me ōna mahi, kua roa hoki a ia e tuhituhi ana, e whakairo ana i wā tātau nā kupu ataahua ki te pukapuka.
Ka kite rā tātau e kare mā, ahakoa te iti o ngā rauemi i te reo Māori, ko ēra (o runga ake nei) kua oti noa, he taonga nō tuawhakarere. Whakamahia ēnei rauemi hei arataki haere i a koe i runga i tōu ake huarahi tuhituhi.
