Directions to the Writers Bloc
The time is nigh. The great convergence comes now upon us. What convergence, you ask?
The great one.
So here you are - on your way at last! Here's how to get toSesame Street the Writers Bloc. (The images below are thumbnails - click to embiggen.)
1. The thing to know about North Lake College is that it has two entrances - one on MacArthur and one on Walnut Hill. Take whichever one your heart and/or GPS desires. (For the record, that's 5001 N. MacArthur Blvd in Irving, 75038.)
2. Whichever way you get to campus, make sure you park in the north lot. This is the best way to access the A building, where our classroom is. (The map below is helpfully oriented so that north is west. Thanks, Kimye.)
Here's what that actually looks like from ground level. Can you see the F building to the left, and the A building on the right? Then you're good. (Notice the giant white Martian dome on the far left there. That's the pool - and that's how you know you're in the right ballpark.)
3. On your way in, head for that big green A. Remember: A stands for awesome. What are you? Awesome.
4. Now you're inside. Which way do you go? If you said "left", you're right! Head down the long, apparently endless hallway to your left. No stairs, no elevators.
Keep going! Keep going! Keep - oh, did you get to the art gallery? You went too far. Back up about ten feet. We're in A206.
And what does this A206 look like, you ask? Oh, just you wait, Henry Higgins... just you wait!
Remember, y'all: it's about the journey, not the destination. But the destination is pretty freakin' rad. See you there!

SO awesome. No stairs, no hills - just the first entrance on your right.
4. Now you're inside. Which way do you go? If you said "left", you're right! Head down the long, apparently endless hallway to your left. No stairs, no elevators.
So... endless... (This part is a metaphor for the writers journey: it takes forever, and feels like you're getting nowhere.) When you get to the Blazer store, you're halfway there. Keep going! Don't give up! Do or die - death or glory!
