Project Runway + Songwriting = *SQUEE*

[newtypeshadow]

OMG THERE IS A PROJECT RUNWAY SHOW FOR SONGWRITERS!!!

I CANNOT EVEN--I HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN IT YET BUT I AM STAYING UP WAY PAST MY BEDTIME TO SEE EPISODE ONE.

OMFG. SONGWRITING! <3<3<3

To learn more about this [hopefully utterly squee-worthy] show, check out Platinum Hit on Bravo's web site.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a show to watch. *__*

I am increasingly curious about this show. I'm debating whether to give in now or wait a few weeks and watch a good chunk of this season all at once.

Episode 4 airs tonight, so a chunk of 3 and then the 4th on TV is still a chunk.

Not sure how many episodes there'll be, but they started with 12 contestants, and by the end of episode 4 they should have 8 left (unless they boot 2 on ep3, which I've not seen yet, and do the same on ep4).

OMG PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW!

Also, I wrote my song for today! ^_^ Have you had a chance to write?

ALSO: I need to email you RE: Artist's Way. And perhaps starting today, to make AW and our 90 day challenges line up.

I suck SO bad at writing lyrics and tunes for a song. I can do some great spoofs from existing songs but that's about it.

Filk is awesome fun! ^_^

So to clarify for me: You enjoy writing filk lyrics, but not music?

I wonder whether you'd enjoy writing lyrics to pre-existing music, as there are famous precedents for such lyricist/composer collaborations...

Hm, that is quite a chunk. Perhaps I'll start watching it after Pride weekend.

Congratulations on writing your first song of the challenge!! Will we get to read the songs you write?

I wrote a little yesterday--not a full story and nowhere near 1,000 words. It made me re-think the terms of my challenge.

I'm going to start Artist's Way today, I think. If you want to have started it yesterday, that's fine. Preferable, even, since the dates will line up with the dates of the 90-day challenge.

Have you caught up on all the episodes yet? Is it living up to your expectations?

[newtypeshadow]

It is indeed. You've seen the aired episodes now, right? Also, can you pull the stuff out of our DropBox shared folder so I know you got them? <3 In related news, EPISODE 5 AIRS TONIGHT! ^_^

This comment reminded me to put up song 1/90. Sadly, I'm having a hard time turning off iTunes music to make my own. :( Maybe I should re-think the terms of my challenge too?

Speaking of which, how's your 90 day challenge going?

Also, did you start The Artist's Way on Sunday? I need to begin reading the chapter and doing a task or two a day. I'm not terribly behind for our Sunday start date--I've been doing Morning Pages--but I also want to get into the habit of doing AW daily. And going on Artist's Dates, the first of which I need to plan...
