As a result of the AMA, people have been asking for the information on how to “give back” to Idol… (I suspect some of those people might also know when my birthday is, and aren’t being as clever as they think they are, BUT I’m not above being shameless, so I’m doing it anyway) obviously, the best way is to continue to vote and support your favorites! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/695255.html

Even better, tell a friend or three about Idol! Go forth and spread the good word!

I did put a link to our "Tip Jar" in yesterday’s Green Room, figuring that it would get buried… but the link didn’t work, so I need to post it again! Right here!
If you *really* want to donate, proceeds go directly to me. No charity. No child in a third world country will eat for a month for the price of your coffee. It will go to me. Well, let’s be honest, it will go to the grocery store, and hopefully, in the near future, it will go to the dentist for the root canal that I’ve been putting off for the last couple of months…








If you like books, music, electronics and well, pretty much everything – you should check out the Idol store at Amazon! Just click the link and shop like normal, OR go through and see all of the great stuff from former Idol contestants/and various Friends of Idol!!


Note: We now have the links for ADRIFT! Which started out here in Idol as a series of entries and is now a book! So go check it out in both paperback http://astore.amazon.com/li0cd-20/detail/0980508428 and for your Kindle! http://astore.amazon.com/li0cd-20/detail/B00F52ZC2E

So there you go, people who were asking!

Those of you who were not asking, you can now resume your “frist” battle, and telling each other what a “REAL” Miss America looks like!

1.I wrote as a kid - the things I read, in another setting, but still, I made my own stories. I was good at essays and creative writing in school. But I was laughed at (okay it was horrible but still) and just never did it again.

Then I started writing poetry again because I met some people and they convinced me to try (this was online). I started a few journals, and ended up playing Idol for the first time. And then I started writing creative stories again. That's when I really realized it was what I wanted to do.

2. I was friends with the winner of season 2, and I voted for her a couple of times. I think I was already friends with s1 winner as well, so I checked it out and signed up on a whim, for s3. I didn't think I'd last very long.

3. I have my favourite :)

4. I've always been a huge fan of [livejournal.com profile] darkprism's work. I loved her short stories she wrote for Idol. There are others, but I have a really hard time with names and don't remember most people's usernames.

5. I don't think I could. They are me and at the same time, they aren't. They exist inside of me but they're a figment of my imagination. I'd like to point people to Those Who Wander and the stories I wrote for that, but I'd rather wait until I turned it into a novel, I think.

Those Who Wander is definitely your magnum opus, but I admit a certain appreciation for your Week 2 / Week 6 (http://agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com/886532.html) storyline.

Here's a question for you: if you weren't competing in English, in what language would you prefer to be writing? And what does that language have that English doesn't? :-)

It's funny that you point out these two works, because when I was little I read Thea Beckman's books about the Hundred Years War and I was hooked! That's who I got on the subject of Bertrand du Guesclin (it was historical fiction, but a lot of details checked out as I traveled to that region with family as a teen). That's where I got the idea of these stories :)


I wouldn't prefer to write in another language. While my English is far from perfect, and I wish I had a more extensive vocabulary, writing comes more naturally for me in English than in any other language. My second favourite would be Dutch, I used to write in Dutch as a child and for school, and I do have a very good mastery of it. French is my least favourite, mainly because for some reason I can't seem to write to grammatically sound sentences after another. It's horrible. I speak it every day though.
