But some old shit is about to get some fresh attention. Let's all wave at winterfox and the writers_guild as they are both in danger of going bye-bye...and I don't mean because of the complaint that was lodged either. News at ll.

I think it goes without saying that there is no opera, symphony, or major center for the arts here in good ole Shitsville. We have There is community theatre at the CC, but I think that's about it. (Yes, I wrote "We have" and then came to my senses, and I struck it out here in the hopes that if I ever start to identify myself as more than someone passing through this burg, one of my kind f-listers...

http://community.livejournal.com/writers_guild/1094607.html#comments Is this a state-sponsored program, designed to get the snarkaholics off the streets and into a controlled environment where their wank is available only to those who WANT to see it? If so, where do I donate?

I was reading my friends' list and I came across this one entry at writers_guild and it got me thinking. The question is: why do you write? Really, why? The thing is, I've never really had a very articulate, artsy, in-depth reason as to why I write. I've thought about it, and I could only ever come up with one answer: because I do. Yeah, it might not be that much but, it's really the only...

oh my goodness this is beautiful

I'm new to this community, but I come bearing gifts. ^_^ I'm a college student at the University of Tübingen and this semester I enrolled for a seminar called "Written Communication II" (which is basically a class for essay writing). In addition to academic essays we have the option of writing travelling reports, book reports and even short stories for the graded homework. I chose to...

Drama, drama, drama. http://community.livejournal.com/writers_guild/1044959.html I did a critique today and I got a snotty hissy fit in return. You know what makes me laugh? That I skipped over a couple of key points I wanted to make by accident. They were good points. About how the character neglected to inform any of her supposed friends that she wasn't changing schools over the holiday...
