Pros and Cons of 365....

Okay...so I'm still trying to figure this out.  I'm going to take a cue from Rory Gilmore--and do a pro con list

Pros:

  • It gives me something besides work to do everyday.
  • It forces me to write everyday which I know is good for me.
  • I like being able to talk about books, knitting, teaching, and I want to add in some more journal writing type ideas.
  • It might force me to use some better time management.
  • Might help me to get a brand off the ground, which I do think about a lot.
  • It is important to have accountability which this blog is giving me
Cons:
  • It is really hard to come up with topics to write about everyday.
  • The last time I tried this while working at my current job, I was often too tired and it was too late to write--which is actually kind of sad about my "new" job that I thought would give me more time.
  • Getting too personal that I cross professional/ethical/moral boundaries
  • Is there something else that I really should be doing with my time?
  • My computer is being silly...at some point I might have to replace this thing if I decide to keep this up
What if I can't do it....it looks like the pros are winning but just barely....maybe I should start planning

Gilmore Girls and Bunheads...oh the wondrous writing

So this will be another addition of my favorites.  I LOVE great writing on TV...and movies too...but I pay attention to TV writers more.  One of my FAVORITE writers/creators is Amy Sherman-Palladino.  Most people know her from Gilmore Girls, which really should not have ended...but that's a different blog post. The biggest thing that she is famous for is the fast speaking that the actors are required to perform.  The fast back and forth.  See a good example from main character Lorelai below...

Then Gilmore Girls ended.  Fast forward to 2012....Amy Sherman-Palladino and her writing partner ( and husband) Daniel Palladino started a show called Bunheads.  The best part about this show---it has the same writing style.  The second best part...it is like a Gilmore Girls reunion--one of the main characters is Kelly Bishop and the townspeople come in and guest star all the time.  See a great example of the great writing in this show here: http://beta.abcfamily.go.com/shows/bunheads/video/PL55199956/_m_VD55263688 

Both of these shows are great for a smile...and I highly recommend :)
