Perhaps you could start a new TV game show: "Upset or Not?" with a big wheel that C-list celebrities spin and contestants find out if they should be upset. There could be side activities like kicking . . . well, you get the idea.
It's so bizarre to me that this season is almost over. This has been such a focus in my life for so long now that it almost feels like I've never not been doing Idol! I'm already scrambling for things to do with myself now. Should I be upset about this?
It's really a crazy feeling! I did it for SIX YEARS in a row, finalist, and top five finisher for all the seasons and mini-seasons of the past six years! When it's over for that season, you do get left with that feeling! We need a name for it. A combination of sadness, relief, not knowing what the heck to do with yourself, a mental calendar that seems comprised of deadlines, stories unfolding in your dreams....
I know; I'm sitting here at work like, "Don't I have something to be writing right now? When's that deadline again? Oh, that's right..."
I'm going to start giving myself prompts and self-imposed deadlines for real here in a bit. I said I wouldn't compete in at least a regular season of Idol again, because it was a lot for me emotionally, but at the same time, I'm already ready to start back up.
I understand the conflict. I had a very, very bad season and vowed to myself that I wouldn't return. Enough time...and there really is nothing else like it for us writers who crave prompts and feedback and conversation! I hope you return.
Quick question, does anyone feel like being a beta reader for me? My piece is basically done, just looking for a second opinion. It could be anytime, up to the deadline. No rush. Send me a message.
