The Second Coming of Jesus Christ

[raven]

Once again, am updating while I should be writing an article on Godspell. Why Godspell, you ask? Because they're performing it in the Little Theatre. In September. Why I'm writing about it now is a question that has not been and is not likely to be addressed. So far I have written, with correct capitalisation, "IT'S not quite the Second Coming..." and dried up. So it's off to Google to see what they have to say about it. I will do it at some point before lunch; it's just right now I'd prefer to lurk on LJ rather than do any actual work, and all you lovely people who are on my friends list and are also offical Grown Ups, I now understand why none of you appear to be doing any work.

The headline that was chosen was "Talent For Disaster" which I suppose is all right, but still, I think I preferred the other possibles. Nothing written by my fair hands is actually in the paper, which is slightly galling, but I've been advised to just keep getting hold of the newspaper over the next few weeks. Apparently the stuff I write will make it in there eventually. Let's hope so. The one good thing is the fact it's a free newspaper that gets put through our letterbox every week anyway, so I don't exactly have to expend much effort in keeping an eye on it.

I'm hungry. A sandwich seems an excellent idea around now, but no, I have to go and write about flower children disciples and Jesus Christ in a Superman costume. Not that I'm complaining, of course. Weird as it may seem, I'm still enjoying myself.

I always kind of wanted to be a freelance writer, but more than that, I just wanted to be a writer. To write novels. This whole "Meredith is going to be a professor" thing really came about when my highschool English prof said to me, "You should become a professor. Then, you'll have five months of the year to do nothing but write." It sounded pretty sweet to me. Before that, my plan was to go into journalism. If I do change my mind and go back to that, I can always just do the one year BJH programme at King's. Hmm...

Your headlines sound most amusing. Ours here are rather matter of fact, but the letters to the editor are always good for a laugh.

Professor Meredith Synder.

*thinks about it*

Sounds like a Hogwarts teacher, doesn't it?

In all seriousness, it does sound like fun. Five months of the year just to write! And you wouldn't have to cope with "Letters to the Editor!" The latest one is a two-thousand-word epistle about - wait for it - the lack of deck chairs in Southport. The woman got published. Kill me now.
