therealljidolHow do you want Exhibit B to be remembered?
That is the power that is in your hands, right now.
It’s the power that has been in your hands the entire time. But not everyone stops to think about that on a regular basis.
Will it be looked on as welcoming? As divisive? Will the positivity win out or the negativity?
You are the best, and the worst ambassadors LJ Idol has. You go out into the world and either make it look good, or look bad by what you do and what you say.
In the end, more people should be walking away with that feeling you get when you have just walked off a rollercoaster and are just so overwhelmed with emotions… hopefully more people feel the rush of “I want to do that again!!” than are vomiting into the bushes.
One comforting thing is that, regardless of the atmosphere at the end, that I don’t have to worry about who is going to win. I’ve fortunate that the writers have all been of such quality that I knew that no one mattered who ended up in the winner’s circle, that it was going to be someone extremely talented.
The results are up from last night: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/696245.html
As if the new topic: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/696365.html
My hope is that Exhibit B will finish out with the same sort of energy that Exhibit A did… with a rush of “I can’t wait until we can do that again!”

Date: 2013-09-20 07:34 pm (UTC)I will also add that Idol is a pressure cooker. We jumped in this pot together back in early May, for goodness sake. We've been cooking together for a long time now, under increasing amounts of stress, dealing with all kinds of personal and interpersonal challenges as we struggle to write one or more things week after week after week, with variable deadlines, variable topics, variable schedules... I'm honestly surprised that there haven't been more explosions in the kitchen considering how close to dinner time it's getting and how long this stew has been churning away.
apropos of nothing
Date: 2013-09-20 07:37 pm (UTC)Oh, and we have a neighborhood turkey! I think it's nest is in a yard on the other side of my block. It's been making the rounds in everyone's yard except for mine. I think The Kidz might have something to do with that.

However, the season is not yet over...

Date: 2013-09-20 07:57 pm (UTC)When you have a community full of passionate, creative people, you get... well... passion and creativity. This inevitably means you get lots of different perspectives and viewpoints from people who tend to feel strongly about things and express themselves powerfully with words. The elements that cause people to make comments that other people might not like or agree with are the exact same elements that result in people writing a huge variety of wonderful, creative things week after week, month after month, and keep on trekkin' with style and flair. You can't kill one without killing the other because they're fruit of the exact same tree.
