In the past hour, she'd spent oh, a good twenty minutes staring at her cell phone, the wall, her pen, her shoes.. everything but her column, which was running late. It had been due at 9 AM, and it was a little past one, but she had no idea what to write about. None whatsoever. Sighing, she put her cell phone into her purse, grabbed her notes, and ( Read more... )

What is the biggest obstacle you have overcome in your existence?

Lily had read somewhere, during research for one column or another, that writing letters, even if you don’t send them, helps to clear conscience. Bullshit, she thought. But, she tested it out for the hell of it.

( My editor, Sam, asked me a question today... )

Ask a question. Any question of me. My favourite colour, the worst thing I've ever done, the last person I've kissed, slept with, whatever! Ask it, and I have to answer completely truthfully.

And then, of course, stick it in your journal and I'll ask you.

Write a ficlet inspired by the word blue. It might be a color, it might be a mood, it might be the name of your favorite hound dog from when you were 10. Whatever! Use your imagination. // When in your life did you feel the most alone?

( I was just a little girl... )

I've done this once already, those questions and answers can be found here, but Abbey had some questions too.

1. How did you come up with your screenname for here? It's from the song "Counting Airplanes" by Train. I've followed their career from almost the beginning, and I find myself constantly amazed by what they put out there. I really identify ( Read more... )

At what moment in your life did you feel most proud?The moment I was handed my college diploma. In that walk across the stage, I realized that I had made it. I had my chance to make a better life for myself, and in that moment, I knew I'd succeeded. I shook the dean's hand, and went back to my seat, with a smile a mile wide on my face ( Read more... )
