Topic 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The first topic of Season 5.

It’s all downhill from here.*g*

Just a note before we get started. Some of the topics you are going to like. Some you are going to hate and/or think are stupid. The most common thing I have heard in the past is “it’s like a college essay topic”. To which my answer is “They are clichéd for a reason. (1) they tend to be universal themes that most people can relate to on some level (2) the trick is taking something cliché and making it your own, making it something that people want to read. After all there are *a lot* of other people writing on the same entry topic. How are *you* going to make yours stand out?”

That said, this week's topic is: Saying Goodbye.

We've all had to do it, say "goodbye" to someone/somewhere before moving on. Maybe it was a move. Maybe it was death. Maybe it was when you walked out of the house this morning!*g* Heck, maybe you just like to randomly say "goodbye" to people! Make the topic your own!

The deadline to link your entry (and only your entry, comments should be in the Green Room) back here is Friday September 26 at Noon EST Good luck to everyone - and have fun!

TADA! (http://sleepwalkdance.livejournal.com/633136.html)

Mostly because I'm having surgery on Friday and if I don't get it done today (when my boss is out of the office) I probably won't have a chance before the deadline.

Haha, what an overachiever I am. I wrote an essay basically on this, although it sounds kind of whiny. XD
