I just wrote a really sarcastic editorial for my English assignment. I actually think it'll appeal to Jessica (yeah, the teacher wants us to call her Jessica), but I'm relieved that it's only a rough draft due Friday. I can always rework it later for when the real thing's due.

I put so little time into it because I'm only about a third of the...

Every time I wrote a paper, I convinced myself (no matter how good it really was) that it was shite. That way even a D made me happy. Unlike my papers, I've got some high expectations for Friday's show. I hope I can find the place. biggrin

the best writing always seems to be re-writing.

A little tip: Starting a paper seems like the most difficult part of the process... looking for that first paragraph or point or whatever that will tie everything together. If you ever find yourself just looking at a blank .doc page trying to figure out what to write and nothing comes (or it comes and then is deleted, rinse, repeat) turn off your monitor. Once the monitor is off, just type what you know for 6 minutes. Whatever you type doesnt have to make sense, it only needs to be related to the subject and you cannot stop typing in the 6 minutes. Once the time is up, turn the monitor back on, do some re-arranging and voila! You just came up with a skeleton and a start.

I have a few papers due this Friday, and it's sort of important, n'est pas?

The first dude told me it...

Yowza! Three hours? Thats fucking lame. Super lame. Lame with a cape, a cowl, an alter ego, and an arch nemisis. I've got a printer you could probably use, but I've never connected it to a macintosh before, so I dunno.

I was talking to Alicia today, and she told me she asked me why I wanted my nipples pierced. I thought for a moment, and said "I can think of a lot of reasons you probably don't want to hear, so let's stick with 'I think they're really hot.'" She looked at me and said, "I could never get anything like that done. I don't...

Hey, I'm the new group owner for the writer's guild. We're dedicated to workshopping stuff, so this isn't a group you can join and be a passive observer. There are monthly assignments and you have to critique everyone elses work. If you still want in, post a sample of your writing in my journal, anything will do, 1-3 pages in length. Or a few poems if that's your thing.
Ya got a week.
dankrubis:
Good deal. There's a september assignment, but you don't have to do it if you don't want, being that the month is almost over. Welcome.
