Green Room - Week 1 - Weekend Edition

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I don't know you, and I don't know why you are in my room.

Which, by Texas standards, pretty much means you're about to get shot!

But, if you somehow avoid that fate, and are still working on your entry http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/715255.html then that's even better!

While you are out doing that, if you could continue to spread the word that the Sign Up Sheet is still open until Monday, I'd very much appreciate that! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/711493.html - There are still people trickling in, and (from what I've been told) some more on their way. So, if you have a moment, make sure to say hello!

Just a couple of words before I head off into the weekend itself- pretty much everyone has stared down that "I can't figure out how to write this" beast. If you keep slamming your head against a brick wall, take a step back and try coming at it from another angle, or better yet, talk it over with a friend. Heck, write it out! Talk about your frustrations, and as you continue to write, more often than not, the "way to it" might actually come to you. Then scrap the filler and use that as the starting point for your actual entry!

I can't recommend the idea of talking it over with people enough. There are a ton of writers here, going through a lot of the same things. You can go to the Work Room http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/715373.html or even just find someone with work that makes you go "Wow" and solicit their opinions!
A fresh pair of eyes, and a new perspective never hurt!

I hope you are going to be doing something fun this weekend...


Now, if you would excuse me, I need to take some Pinkberry frozen yogurt out to these homeless people who are waiting for it.
