talonkarrdeSome things you do for yourself, other things you do for other people.
And then there are the things that you do for...well, you're not honestly sure, but it works out in the end.
Idol, though, isn't really any of those things. Or maybe it's all of those things. Sometimes, you wonder why you're in it, other times, you write pieces that you end up showing everyone as star examples of who you are and what you can do.
And rarely, once in a blue moon, you write a piece that you show no one at all, but it's something you desperately needed to write, something you're better for having written.
Idol is about your writing, yes, but it's also about the writing of the others in the competition, about genres you weren't sure existed before this prompt, and even, yes, sometimes about the drama and bickering and 200+ comments in the green room that you may never actually finish reading.
So here I am.
