5-5:10pm: HI! Tell us about your weekend, and day so far? TELL US A STORY… we as readers will decide what it means…
5:10-5:35pm: Telling a story… nothing is boring. Why do people think of themselves as boring? EVER? As a narrator, the only thing you decide is whether to write or not. that’s it.
5:35-6pm: Do you know anyone with a story that would be interesting to read? Someone in your life?
6-6:20pm: Irby… so much truth. So much insecurity, strength, and insight…
6:20-6:30pm: Close…. what’s on the night’s page?
ASSIGNMENT: Get Irby’s book!! Start reading, as much as you’d like… report back on Wednesday.
ASSIGNMENT: Write some stories, sketches, moments from your life. Recently or not, I don’t care. JUST WRITE YOU.

I hope her book makes me laugh! Also I guess I hope for some positivity in it as well, I liked the friendly vibes I got from her blog.

I want to see if her style of humor is similar to Lawson or on a whole different level

I hope to read more detailed and comedic writing. I can expect this because of her title for her book, it is similar to me to Lawson’s “Furiously Happy” title. She seems like another writer who isn’t afraid to be herself.

Wow, No Thank You chapters are written in cursive – gives me an elegant impression. Like a stainless steel step-garbage can, perhaps as “life is just a big pile of garbage”, but the cursive makes it prettier…? She was 40 when she wrote this novel… It’s admirably noted that she graduated from “trash-filled possum nest with intermittent basic cable” of her childhood. Hmm… I think of existential aging… 40 is a big one.
(I’m already feeling the quarter life crisis at age 24.)

Tonights page: boring is a chosen perspective. I can change it to literally anything else. Also, write down what I can remember of family stories.

OTP- Don’t pressure yourself excessively, or at all. Enjoy the ride more.
I really liked this a classmate wrote this, I think people fall into the trap of calling themselves boring because we are always around ourselves, stuck with our thoughts. it’s easy to discredit yourself. But it’s also easy to let yourself fall into a rut of comfort. It seems safer in the rut because you’re not trying new things, but really it’s just damaging.

Be carnivorous fans of self. Be so eager to tell your story that your sleep pattern is all kinds of f/cked up.
Exactly, STAY HUNGRY (literally). Don’t just stare at the page, eat it! (Not literally, metaphorically, as in devouring the words on page).
Goodnight everyone.
