SXSW - South by Southwest music event

You may have attended or not ... or you may be there right now ... at the huge SXSW (South by Southwest) music 'megafest' which begins today in Austin, Texas.

Basically, lots of bands, panels, parties ... for 10 days. Recommended to those who don't need sleep.

Read all about it in Wired magazine's article: SXSW Get Ready to Rock.

One Word - So Little Time - Writing Exercise

This online writing exercise seems easy and fun ... and it will only take one minute.

Once you click the "Go" button on the site, you will be shown one word, and a box for you to type in.

You'll have one minute to write as much - or as little - as you want in response to the one word being shown.

Then you can post your writing to their site ... along with others who have done the same.

Click: OneWord.com.

Quick, relatively painless ... a great writing exercise to get the bossy self-critic out of the way, if only for one minute.
