Green Room - Week 24 - Day 6

There is still a poll out there, http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/458636.html , to determine who will be moving on. People have been pointing out just how much fiction there is this week. Hopefully that's just how people decided to go with the topic rather than a general direction of the overall season/competition. I guess we will see how things shake out in the coming weeks.

I am currently reading the Bryson book "A Walk in the Woods" and just reached his visit to Centralia, Pennsylvania. More precisely, when he talks about the mine fire that started in 1962 and is still burning today.

If I didn't have to wait a season, I would make that a topic in and of itself, it's so interesting.

But since I have you here - what do *you* have burning, deep down inside? ;)

I like reading both fic and non-fic, it just depends on how it is approached. I also find that I really enjoy fiction that comes across as non-fiction, because sometimes you just don't know for sure until you get to the end!

I am also rather boring, and after competing in Idol for 4 seasons my wellspring is running dry. It's doubtful whether I'll bother competing next season (although admittedly I wasn't sure I'd compete this season, so there ya go).

I agree about fiction that comes across as non-fic. Sometimes it's cool (and maybe trippy) to be left thinking whether it's true or not.

I have to wait to see how busy I'll be before deciding whether or not to come back. If I do, I might try and make more of a conscious effort to write non-fic.
