Green Room - Week 14 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

So what have YOU been doing?

Here's what I've been up to: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/2011/02/15/

It's a little something for everyone - Eliminations, Tie-Breakers, Second Chances, Topics and Work Rooms! Oh my!

I figure you've at least done a little something with your week so far. Or have plans to at any rate.

Maybe you plan on watching Survivor tonight! :)

OK. Maybe that's just me.

It's not just about spending that time though, you're going to spend it regardless, it's how you spend that time, and what you get out of it.

Because that's what is important at the end of the day. The experience of what you get out of each and every day.

You can go into it looking for a fight. You can go in looking to make a new friend. That choice is out there every single time you open your eyes in the morning.

(Personally most days I tend to sleep walk through most of it, but that's just me. Don't be me! :D)

It's a brand new "Week of Idol" how are you going to start it?

I'm starting it with getting my entry done ;). Although in all honesty, I'd been writing this one over the last couple of days, and had no idea what I wanted to do with it, and the topic just sorta fell right into place with it. I wasn't supposed to even write it at all - I tweeted before starting that I wasn't allowed to write it at all!

Now, if I can get some sleep. I have a nasty cold that's making breathing hard laying down.

Edit: Oh, and first. ;)

I'm starting it by thinking up as many ideas for the prompt as I can. I've got 3 vague ideas so far. I'll probably write at least 2. I'm tempted to try humour again just to see if last week's humour was a total fluke for me or if I can succeed again :P

Been having a good day so far. Now it's time for me to play with my son :D

Was good to see you incorporated my feedback :)

I've started this week with a lot of motivation for working on my current fiction project, and I hope I can keep it up. I'm making good progress, but I'm getting close to the point I always seem to reach, when I look back over what I've done and decide I hate it all and throw it out. Hope that doesn't happen this time!

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

Hey, I listen to you. Sometimes. :P

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I personally like your funny stuff. I'd like to see funny pieces go over better overall. I've got ideas floating around, but we shall see how they work out :)

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I do that with my writing too :(

Good luck with it though! I bet you're harsher on yourself than you realize!

Yet again, posted as I'm going to bed *sigh*

I'm excited for Survivor! I watch it online though, and usually after the episodes air and they always get spoiled for me. Boo on that!

I'm also excited that the week is halfway over. I'm excited about a three day weekend with java_fiend. I finally got the Valentines Day gift today, Edible Arrangements were asses to my poor boy, but the white chocolate covered strawberries were delightful. He's so sweet to me :)

Those strawberries sound wonderful. :)

I'm going to start my new Idol week by going to bed in about ten minutes. Just finished Biggest Loser. :)

Goodnight/Good morning, all. &hearts

I think I am going to start the week with some cocoa and sleep before work in the morning. These pre-pre-pre dawn GRs are hard on my productivity.

Looking forward to tomorrow though; hope to have some good news, or at least happy stuff happening around me.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'm going to start it by being thankful that I'm still here. Phew!

Off to bed now, g'night all!

Hey, you're COMEDYchick! If you can't do good comedy, who can??? :)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Well, I can understand why some humour doesn't go over as well as others. I think my entry last week just happened to be pretty mainstream humour and as such went over well with a wide audience. I'm just not sure I've got a handle on what is actually mainstream humour and what is not. My humour idea at the moment for this week might be based on an Aussie-ism, for example (I don't know if it's Aussie slang or not; I'm too universal!), and if that's the case, it might not have such a wide audience.

Yummmles, I love strawberries. Hummm, me thinks I got cheated now by my better half. ah well, he knows getting me candy is a bad thing anyway. Good man to help me watch after my figure. Grin!

And yay that you guys get a three day weekend.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Aiiii - Biggest Loser, Survivor, American Idol, LJ Idol... dammit, I can't keep up!

Thank god for DVR...

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

lol. My humour last season didn't go over as well as it did this week! I mean, last season I never even ranked in the top 10, and the pieces that placed like 15th or 16th in a given week were far from funny. I did not expect to place 3rd in my tribe/tied for 3rd overall this week; especially not for humour!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

I for one am glad you are still here. YAY!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Icky, colds are no fun at all. Hope it speedily leaves you.

I'm starting the new idol week by being productive doing real life things.

I am liking it that my body wants to be in bed earlier then later for a change. This is a most excellent thing.

I might have an idea for the topic to do as a home game entry. Will work on that.

In the mean time you all have a good night.

I started the week writing a big long post about Stuff going on in my life. Good stuff, almost every bit of it, and getting better every day. I'm a lucky lady. (Hmm, maybe I should buy a lottery ticket this week...!!)

I've got the feeling I'm going to have a few ideas for this topic, though I've got nothing solid yet - so I'm just letting it percolate for a day or so before I try to write anything.

And I'll totally be watching Survivor tonight!!

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Yay first! And yay for entries that insist on writing themselves even when you tell them no ;)

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

I read somewhere recently that that's a universal stage in the development of s novel - DON'T DO IT. Just keep going forward. You'll deal with it in rewrites.

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Yay for Special Powers!!

[tentaclecore]

I do that all. the. time. with my longer projects. And short ones too. Gah.
