Less of a meme and more of a youyou

(gacked from [livejournal.com profile] obsessedmuch)

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

My personal goal is: to get over my writer's block, write my Obscure Santa thingy, and perhaps do something illegal this weekend.

I aim high.

Hi. I'm Cheryl. I'm not nearly as interesting as some of the other people who've responded.

I find that the best way to get over writer's block is to read books about writing. Usually after a few pages I'll find something that triggers me. Right now I'm reading Robert McKee's Story, which is about screenwriting but really applies to any writing.

In two years my name will appear on your television under the 'written by' credit.

Oh, and I love Low Men in Yellow Coats.

I've been trying but nothing doing. I've finished quite a few books recently though, so at least I'm doing something productive. What will the writing credit be for so I know what to look for?

It's more of a goal than a certainty. Although, come April my name will appear many times in the credits of a Canadian show, just never as a writer.
