i'm not going to awp
i'm not a real writer i don't think
i think what happens at awp is real writers 'get together' and talk about writing and conference with each other
they do writing 'exercises' i think
then they get drunk
we can conference with each other then get drunk alone
hey, write something that's really wild, you know
some of your guys's stuff is out there, i mean, it's really interesting, but it's out there
let's empower each other to keep at it
if somebody really nails a piece, i think it's okay to tell them, you know, you really nailed that one
that one was the field goal that one it all, man
let's share the rough stuff
it's all about the emotion you know

i always sort of thought it was the other way around, that awp was where the not writers went to talk about not writing, then went drinking, which is also not writing.
i think they know each other. i think that's why they seem like real writers.
a guy who's home alone writing, well, nobody knows that guy. so nobody's ever head of him.
this is the bedtime story i tell myself, anyway.
I went. I did not talk about writing a single time. Also I did not meet any new people or do any networking. I think I tasted a bit of sarcasm in the post? I hope. Practice scornfulness. That's what I do, even though I don't really need the practice. I scorn naturally. I scorn fairly. I scorn the comments I am making at this very moment. I'm too sexy for this song.
yeah no, i mean, i've gone to conferences. i went to awp years ago. it was a lot of fun. i had to be sarcastic because i really wanted to go this year to see people. so i think when i want something i can't have i make fun of it. i should stop doing that.
that whole post should be in quotes i think.
greg, when will we ever get moderately drunk and play wii again?
sam, i think probably a lot of 'real' writers go. it was like a big thing whenever i went when i was at texas tech. did you like any of those independent publishing houses?
Oh, I had a blast--the most fun I've had in years. I bet I'll do a better job of it when I go again, even if I don't have as much fun. For one thing, I actually know a few people through 971 that I might like to meet. It will also be better when I have actual work to shop around. Etc. etc.
That's why I scorn myself. I know I'm doing the easy thing--it's easy to scorn people who take themselves too seriously, but it's also easy accidentally scorn people who are really trying. It's easy to get them mixed up, especially when one hasn't really tried oneself, and so doesn't know how painful trying can be, except on an intellectual level. It's easy to be a bastard, in other words. I'm bored with this paragraph.
When, indeed, will we Wii? I wish I knew. I didn't play it for months after I spent many many hours beating Zelda, but I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago, Wii Sports mostly. What's your fitness age?
my best wii fitness age is 25. i hover betwee 32 to 38, typically. i'm very disappointed with myself, as i feel i should be hovering between 24 and 29.
what is yours?
everyone who has a wii please list your wii fitness age. don't lie please.
