7-7:10pm: How are you? What have you been writing? How are you going to approach the rest of the semester? And yes, it’s time to start thinking that way, already.
7:10-7:30pm: Your life as Literature.. Your moments are manuscripts. What does this mean to you?

7:70-8:10pm: Ever catch yourself overthinking? What do you do to change, if anything?
8:10-8:30pm: How can we use overthinking, rather than fight it? This is entirely a writing issue….. And it can go several ways, directions, climbs, and flights.
8:30-8:40pm: Close….. What’s on tonight’s page?
ASSIGNMENT: Continue working on Sedaris essay. Type a one-page story from your day, and email it to me. Keep writing in your journal…. Record your observations and react to them! Buy Samantha Irby’s book, ‘We Are Never Meeting In Real Life’.
Hello everyone!
HI!!!
Hi everyone!
Hey Claudia!!!
Whatup 7PM crew!!!! Y’all better be ready for me tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you all are doing well… can’t wait for our conversations tonight. 🙂
Hi guys
I’ve been writing mostly about business, and how life is with a new baby…. crazy, but controllable. This little life doesn’t say a word but teaches more than I ever could demand from an institutional instructor.
I totally agree with you my baby is now two weeks and he knows when to cry to be carried! He takes all of my time…
I heard that!
Oh…. and Fall. Writing about the leaves, different air, year ending…. 2020, hated by so many, but studied by me ’cause I choose to.
Hello everyone I just got back from Las Vegas. Let me tell you I had some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life, the highlight of which was getting to actually eat some A5 Wagyu beef. It was so delicious it might have well been dessert in the form of steak. The steak absolutely melted in your mouth like a creamy milkshake on a hot day, and the flavors were just so delicate yet in your face.
Nice! Glad you had a great time!
What did you do today? Or rather, what did you do today that you’d write about?
Getting darker earlier and earlier, and I love it….
Good Evening everyone! Glad to be back! Hope all is well with everyone and everyone’s safe back in their homes! I have had a bit of anxiety with these fires and Covid 19 almost hitting too close to home. Luckily all is well. I have been writing about the stressors we are having to deal with, Covid and fires, work, life in general. I am hoping to really try to focus on giving it my all for the rest of the semester. I am hoping to get deeper into my feelings.
So good to read your words! Thank you for coming!
same here! I got really anxious all of a sudden, its like the new. normal.
You know what I do to combat anxiety? Argue with myself and the anxiety… take it ALL on.
Hi guys, havent been writing much lately. With being evacuated and everything didnt really feel motivated, but will start back up today!
Thanks for coming!
It’s 7 o’clock y’all!!!! The 5pm section put on quite a show…. What do you guys have planned? What did you bring?
Hi Everyone!
Hello!!! Welcome!!!
Hello everyone ! (:
Hi Kaylin!!!!
Hello everyone!
Hello!!!
Lately I have been writing about how everyone’s life around me has been the way I see things and actually see how sometimes even though people are family they can treat you really horrible.
Hello. I have been writing about my day to day life. Had a pretty chill and laid back week last week but was taking care of my friends dog and I wrote done some cute and funny moments. Also wrote down anything stressing me out.
Hey Duncan!! Glad you’re writing!!
Hello everyone, I’m doing okay and I hope everyone is doing good. I’ve been writing the Sedaris essay which is pretty much already done, just looking at what I should fix. I’m going to approach the rest of the semester just like how I’ve been doing, which is one step at a time, just trying to manage time for all my classes.
Good approach!!
I put. down on paper about how cool it was this morning. I love the crisp chill in the air but of course I have kids so my son had to come out and ruin my moment. Dad what are you doing trying to kill us, it’s way to cold. All you can do is shake your head and laugh.
Ruin the moment or add to it? I’m in the same boat man…
That is true perspective, and I would have to say add. He did make me laugh which is always a great way to start your day.
There’s only possibility in the moment you’re in. I don’t care how hard or harsh or horrible it is… that’s my conviction. Try to change Mikey’s mind.
Do you mean the possibility of how we deal with it? Such as good or bad
Possibility in EVERYTHING.
Yes I agree because you cant rewind and go back and change your action and or possibilities.
Hello everyone, hope everyone is doing good after all the craziness that has been going on lately. My mind has been all over the place and I’ve been struggling to get some sleep. I had to make a quick turn around trip to LA over the weekend cause my parents truck broke down on them and I went to fix it. So I drove down Saturday morning and came back Sunday morning. But I do have to say Saturday is probably the best night of sleep I’ve had in a while. Sunday night I began to write down my business goals, so it was nice actually putting that on paper and not just keeping it in my head.
Hi everyone, I haven’t been writing a lot because I got evacuated and the fire was so close to my house and my baby is two weeks now and with everything happening right now it been hard to write but I started to write today!
🙂
Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been so stressed lately, I just got back home after being evacuated and I am currently trying to catchup on homework and other assignments. For the rest of the semester I will attempt to stay positive no matter how stressful it may become.
Thanks for coming tonight.. Have fun!!
good evening everyone! My day has gone quite well, about to enjoy a delicious breakfast dinner, but my past week was hellish.
I’m doing much better! I think that with everything that went on, it was impossible not to feel down or worried. But now, I feel ready to get back into the groove of things! I hope everyone is safe and that everyones week is going well so far (: I have been writing a lot lately. Mainly about other people and what they’ve been going through. Ive realized that there is so much to see if you stop and observe! Everyone has a story, so why not help write it?! (With their consent of course lol)
I hope to approach this semester with a clear mind and hopefully learn some new ways on how to look from at the world.
My moments are manuscripts because they are always teachable moments, they help me learn from them.
Nice!!
I like that!
For the rest of the semester, I want to give it my absolute best. I was really running on E for last couple weeks, but now I feel super motivated and want to hold on to that for as long as possible and finish this semester strong.
Loving your words and dismissing your own opinion of them not matter what it is serves as a freedom that can be acquired NOWHERE else.
For the rest of the semester, I will be writing a big length of papers to get better in my writing.
Write to your moments, react to what you see and do…
My life as literature means to me that hopefully people who read or listen to my moments learn from them or at least don’t feel lonely thinking that they are the only one who went through the pain.
For the rest of the Semester I am going to try to put my thoughts into words more often. Hopefully this will make my writing more organic and more “me”
Hey guys!! I hope everyone is doing good!! I want to hit the ground running for the rest of semester
Personally I have terrible hand writing, so I would consider my manuscript in life as the disasters and hard times that I am going thought. Literature could be both fun or boring, but it is something that we all go through and is the best way to learn things.
What my life as literature means to me: is a non physical manuscript meaning, my life will continue to write itself through memories, thoughts, and ideas as my life progresses.
Even if my life is scripted, I am in-charge of writing my own story.
My life at literature, sure I can see how it can relate, I mean it’s narrated by me and I am writing (making choices)my own life as I know it. With everyday that goes by I add a new page and with every memorable moment i start a new chapter. Thats how I see it.
In my journal I have been writing about what goes on in my day , like my feelings.
if my life was literature there would probably be a lot of cussing. But at the same time there would be a lot of moments full of excitement and laughter. I think just like most people I really like to laugh and enjoy life and though we may all have days that bring us down its important to look on the bright side and make the best of it and know that there are brighter days ahead.
write about what is happening in my life reading a book! “refers to any collection of written”
My life as a manuscript mean that you need to live your life in each moment and seize it for what it is, more importantly let the momnet make you a better person.
My moments are manuscripts… To me that means that the moments in my life are just a part of the story. Each moment gets me closer to a completed work. A whole story. But the manuscript is only finished when I die. It also is like a manuscript because the moments in my life are dictated by me with a splash of chance. I make the decisions and I am essentially writing the story of my life with my own hand.
My manuscript would be all over the place! Whenever I write as I think its like writing different paragraphs all in one
Yes, I see my life as literary because I have been able to use my life so show others even though the horrible times I was going through, I made it to where I am now today, struggling still, but pushing through the barriers.
Always literary!!
Life being literature and moments being manuscripts it makes sense, to me it means that your whole life is the book and the moments are the chapters in other words.
Everything around is instructs, and should be trapped on page. ☮️
I feel the same!
I definitely see my life as literary. To me, life is a whole book, and my moments are the chapters. My moments are my manuscripts that make up my life. I am the story teller of my life and lessons. Everyone has their own story, and just as their are so many different styles of writing and different kinds of genres, same goes for our lives!
What are the lessons??
I find my lessons to be about accepting things for what they are. Sometimes forcing certain situations for our own selfish reasons can totally back fire. It’s about accepting what is, and letting go what is not.
Things that happen for a reason!
Yes, but we are also reasoners in our own occurrences!! Just my opinion..
Man I swear I am the queen of over thinking. LOL Every time I catch myself over thinking I just remember to take a deep breath and say to myself that life doesn’t have to be hard, I have the choice to make it easier by controlling my thoughts and feelings with positivity and optimism. It’s hard to remember at times when your at your deepest feelings but can happen.
Character is something to be studied.. all habits.
I see my life as literary. this is most likely because if I look closely into my own life their is always something to be learned, some deeper meaning, some sorta irony. Even if there is no God, whom am I to say, I sometimes feel like stuff was meant to happen. Like someone was writing a story for me. Although sometimes life feels like a mess. There is always something to be gained from it whether through character development or a new opportunity afterward. But you only know what that is after the moment happens.
No, I don’t think of my life as literary because life can be so unpredictable, you never know what’s going to happen
That’s what makes it literary… worthy to be written and read!!!!!!
I definitely see my life as literary. like many of my collogues have said, every day is a new page or chapter and every moment can be written as if it was a story. Because in all reality a story is life weather its a work of fiction or non fiction or even a story that seems impossible, because in the stories anything is possible.
I don’t see life it-self as literary, since I think there are full of other things than just language, there are feelings that not even language can explain. But, I do see literature as a very important part of my life since it is what I use to remember what interesting stories happened to me in the past.
understand the feelings part
I always catch myself overthinking, especially at work when we are short staff and get more patients added to my assignment and everyone wants to get up at the same time and I just start thinking if I don’t get them up they will put a complaint about me, so I am rushing and rushing and the hours go by no breaks and no lunch, not even a sip of water. Until I say to myself to stop and take a deep breath and just clear my mind and just try to take it slow.
