as in RIGHT NOW, as in "I hope you are reading them, because there's some good stuff out there!"
So hide your watch for Robin Williams, and learn how to whistle for Lauren Bacall - and then get on over there and read!
Read anything you want to tell the world about?
How about your own piece? What were you particularly happy about with how it turned out?

Date: 2014-08-13 02:16 pm (UTC)I was very happy with how my piece turned out this week - I think I took it in a less-than-expected direction and did it pretty well. But the poll always "scares" me, just because one never knows!

Date: 2014-08-13 02:27 pm (UTC)(Seriously, 1-1/2 hours to discuss and vote on league rules... and it's almost all the same as *last* season, and the season before that...)
So I had to stay up until around 2:00 AM to get my entry finished, polished up, and posted, since I knew I couldn't update my journal from work (commenting works, but not updating), and wouldn't be able to do it after work!
Sleepy Ro is *still* Sleepy!

Date: 2014-08-13 02:29 pm (UTC)...um, yeah. I was going to say something else but I'm going to get into this whole wibbly-wobbly Dizzy Kizzy thing if I do say it. Because, of course, this GR is not about me.
I'm going to get dressed.

Date: 2014-08-13 04:20 pm (UTC)Their society ended up being very different from ours.
For one thing, they never had anything remotely like Twitter.
As far as my own entry...[insert dark laughter here]
I hammered it out yesterday. Many thanks, yet again, to
Honestly, I'm happy that I got a piece out at all, and I'm fond of a couple of the lines in it. I was fully expecting that I was going to have to take a bye, and I'm still shocked that I got something out in time. :)
no subject
Date: 2014-08-13 04:41 pm (UTC)I keep telling myself that one of these weeks I will take my remaining bye. I held onto it for a reason, damnit.
Except every time I tell myself, "Well, I can just take a bye..." that's when I end up sitting down and writing an entry. Even if I didn't know what the content of said entry would be, yet! It's a terrible "problem," that. Sometimes I just wanna take a break. =p

Date: 2014-08-13 05:02 pm (UTC)I suspect the same will happen when I get booted from Idol for my fourth time! lol (I just hope it's not for a while yet). Though truthfully, I probably should have byed last week -- I was in the middle of a 7 day work week when the topic went up, and when it was due. And moving.
It was a very long week, lol.

Date: 2014-08-13 05:53 pm (UTC)I might be almost a third through the reading, which isn't as far as I'd like. So, back to that!

Date: 2014-08-13 06:22 pm (UTC)Not a full season.
But there is a special project that I want to do pretty much when this season ends.
Right now, I'm leaning toward a mini-season as well. (I have a wedding coming up after all! :D That is probably going to be heavily determined by how the rest of this season goes and consulting with the Patrons. :D)

Date: 2014-08-13 07:43 pm (UTC)I felt I took a risk in my entry talking about gun issues. I was worried about getting cornered in a political debate about right and wrong, and thankfully that hasn't happened. Guess I made my thoughts clear enough to .." Dodge that bullet"...!
In other news... Please y'll do The Job Dance for me and Fuzzy1. I got a new Zumba gig finally. I have a school interview tomorrow. Fuzzy1 is trying for a medical asst job now that her Associate's degree is official. Byes! I have another graduate!

Date: 2014-08-13 08:10 pm (UTC)Aside from that, I wrote about the Sterling Memorial Library in New Haven which I miss a lot. I used to live in New Haven when I was a teenager and I'd break into the library once or twice a day ... well, that's strong language, I just happened to know that if you took the right path you'd find a door into the stacks that was usually unlocked ... and I thought restricting a library of that size to the public was immoral, so I just decided to come in on my own. I liked being in there, I was almost never anyplace else. It's based a little bit on how they lost a copy of a Russian book that I wanted to read, it wasn't where it should have been filed, but I went and got it myself, I happened to know where I saw it on the shelf because I knew the Slavic section so well. (It wasn't as old as the one in my story, I would never touch a book like that without some training and permission. I have no idea where Sterling keeps their rare and valuable books in reality.)
(Also, it's got some lesbians. I never write any lesbians and now that

Date: 2014-08-13 08:16 pm (UTC)I am in the exact same situation. No byes and a piece that I am only happy about because it simply 'was submitted'.

Date: 2014-08-14 12:48 am (UTC)As for my own piece... well, I'm happy I managed to write a thing. I was pretty sure I wouldn't manage this week. I think I managed to set an atmosphere pretty well.

Date: 2014-08-14 12:57 am (UTC)Oh, boy. I feel you on the "happy I managed to write a thing." I was pretty sure it wasn't going to happen this week for me, either. I haven't gotten down the list to your piece yet, but I'm sure you did set an atmosphere pretty well. You have a knack for that. :)

Date: 2014-08-14 01:52 am (UTC)I think this was a hard week / hard prompt for a lot of people. I saw that halfshellvenus was another "wow did I manage to write a thing?" person this week, too.
At least there were no sacrifices this week! None that were posted anyway. :)
