Memorial Day Idol Reading Club

[William Haskins]

so... i thought it was an compelling crop of stories this week. firehorse's interested me for a lot of technical devices (specifically, the lists) and how that, to me, symbolized the rational, practical mind trying to deal with the irrationality of friends who died too young.

i also found it interesting how the theme of hope brought some of the writers full-circle to personal issues and the search for catharsis.

anyway, not sure how many people will be coming through here today, but i thought it'd be a cool place to touch base...

...while we wait for jenna to open the voting. *cough*

I'm gonna have a tough time voting again, I can already tell. What's interesting to me is how consistently everyone has hit a stride and improved, from week to week. Everyone's tone is evening out, gaining in consistency and confidence.

At least, that's what it seems like to an outsider. :)
