Help me be successful

// February 27th, 2008 // Creativity, Writing

Well, sound for Marisol is pretty well done.  Got some polishing, but all the hardcore mixing is pretty well done.  All that’s really left is just the last week and a half of rehearsals and shows before I can officially be evening responsibility free.

I also got a little of my voice back tonight.  I can get out full sentences and have them be understandable anyway.  I’d say it’s at 40%, which is better than this morning, when my voice was maybe 15%.  It has not been fun.  Hmm…I should make some tea when I get home.

Steve came up for an interesting idea for us that I’m planning on starting once this play is over.  Our group of friends are each going to throw $10 or so into a pot.  Then we take a theme, in this case horror in a modern workplace, and write a short story in less than 2,000 words.  We then read each other’s stories, score them based on certain criteria (no name on them, so in theory we can’t bias a score, and we don’t score our own), and top score wins the pot.  Interesting, no?

So, I am tossing it out to my bloggy friends to throw out ideas for plots or places and such that I might use to build a story off of.  Suggest anything that fits that theme: horror in a modern workplace.  It’s not that I’m uncreative, I actually have an idea in the works possibly, but why waste a potentially valuable resource like you, right?  Naturally I’ll share once the contest is over.
