The write stuff

       So, I've decided to start writing more.  This is a bit of necessity from two places.  One, i need to write.  It's why I switched majors to it, it's why I put the screw to my high school way back when.  It's what I do.... it's who I am.  Two, I'm gonna try to bang out a one act for this competition.  And it's come to my attention that in order to write I can't involve myself in politics.  It's either fiction of gonzo for me.  I gotta pick one.
       It's junk culture and society for me.  Anything but world affairs.  And that means Degrassi.  Thank god I get Fridays are since next Friday is the start of the new season.  No more shame.  I love Degrassi.  Deal with it.  And I love Jae, my Degrassi slut. 
       Ok, so the reason for the Degrassi harping is that there's a special behind the scenes thing of it on right now.  Also, Jae was rejecting America and China just to be sent to Canada to learn the ways of Degrassi.  And I have to say, the writers are actually pretty together on this show.  They're talking about these rules that they have that really help it even though it's not so obvious when watching.  They are forbidden to write a scene in which there are adults talking without any kids present.  Kids have to solve the issues.  And even though the rules are for high school soap it makes for good soap.  I know it's not Shakespeare, but if they tried to make it as high as that then it would be a terrible kid's soap. These guys really know how to write their form.  Kudos to them.
       In the vein of bad (subjectively), does anyone else miss Just Deal?  With Kaylee?  Just me?  Ok.

       I have actually been having ideas recently.  For stories and whatnot.  Characters pop up, plots.  Even little narrative strains.  And they come when I'm not popping pills, which is the second best part!  The best is that the ideas come at all.  I went through a few months of dry mindedness.  I don't want to jinx it, but I have fodder now.  In fact, I think I'm going to go off and start on a new story right now. 

       One last Degrassi note.  What ever happened to Spinner's sister?
