Work Room - Week 21

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Week 20's poll is still going on: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/778354.html which makes this an interesting chance for real time self-examination of what you think that you did well, and where you struggled during the intersection last week.

Maybe more importantly - did you learn anything from that process that you are going to bring to writing this week?

Does knowing the personal nature of the topic, for me, increase the pressure and general sense of dread? ;)

The place to link your new topic entries is http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/779089.html

The place is discuss all the other stuff involved with the topic, and writing, is right here!

I feel like perhaps I took the whole "intersection" idea a lot looser than other people did/do - my partner and I worked from a focal point (a real person) and then wrote stories that really have very little to do with each other, aside from the fact that the aforementioned person is a background tool in both. We're not doing super poorly in the polls (he's actually doing really well, and I'm still hanging at average - which I'm okay with) so I guess it's not a huge problem - but I do feel slightly awkward when reading other entries and realizing that most people chose to write much differently and a lot more coordinated.

As for the topic this week, I'm okay with it, but worried that it might make me really sad as opposed to positive - I have the unfortunate issue of sensory memory, and certain music is a huge trigger for me, and not all of those are good memories. >.>

Music affects me that way, too. :\

I think music is like that for many creative types. It has been scientifically proven to affect mood, even on plants. So the notion that it is a trigger is not far-fetched or abstract. However, in this instance you, my friend, are in control! If you want only happy triggers than write about them. Want to write about music figuratively... go ahead... Music is also subjective... peepers and crickets on a country summer night are music also... :)
