If I had to offer you a tip, I would say: Bring your best "team work" attitude with you; room-writing is a collaboration.<br /><br />If you don't like a suggestion, try not to just shoot it down, but improve on it instead. And always be mindful of your fellow writer's feelings.<br /><br />Most people actually have a swell time collaborating with their fellow attendees, but I promise you, no matter what happens, you will learn a LOT and leave the weekend feeling pumped and energised. In fact, I've never spoken to an attendee who wouldn't do it all again.<br /><br />Have fun!Johnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302545167970532080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-80814150942765770692013-07-30T22:23:53.363-07:002013-07-30T22:23:53.363-07:00Totally off topic but MLB-TV had Vin Scully announ...Totally off topic but MLB-TV had Vin Scully announcing the Dodger-Yankee game tonight. Scully's call when the Dodgers won was his typical factual and understated but appropriate call. <br /><br />Later, during their nightly recap, the same network didn't use Scully's call but presumably the radio call, much louder and more boisterous. <br /><br />Scully also, in describing the Pirates-Cardinals game noted that one team was top of the league in hitting with runners in scoring position and the other was last, even though they both are successful. He didn't try to make any point with that, but that <i>is</i> the point, isn't it? The statistic is meaningless. Only being Vin Scully, he didn't have to say the extra words. <br /><br />From here in Seattle, any time we can hear him we have to worry it will be the last time. And Lord we'll miss him when he's gone.Breadbakernoreply@blogger.com
