5 things that zap creativity are: surveillance, evaluation, rewards, pressure, and competition. These are all judgements. Invent a comfortable and inviting vehicle to transport the judges to a faraway place.
The judges would be departing on flight #13 to the Bermuda Triangle. I'd use every way to manipulate it so that they'd have a unlucky adventure. Getting flight #13 to fly to the Triangle was treacherous; hopefully worth the results.
"I don't believe I saw this in my program," the pompous judge with the old-fashioned gold chained watch barks. "Do you not know what is going on? The incompetence!"
"I agree," says the second judge with the red eyes, "are you unable to make a clear schedule? How did this mistake occur?"
"Idiot, dreamer..."
"Flight #13," the speaker blares. I manage to keep a tight smile on my face. As real as a genuine copy. Finally, they've boarded. They're on. They're gone. I can now breathe.

Things that prevent me from writing:
~I'm too lazy to actually get started. Once I am started, I'm usually off for a good 10 minutes.
~It just seems I have better things to do. Like eat. But now that I think about it, writing is a good way to avoid eating. Hmm.
~writer block.
~Being in a mood where I refuse to do something productive.

Imagine the above excuses as pesky animals:
~I think being lazy would be a cat. Not just because blogthings said that's what I'd be as a pet. A cat's 'fable' moral is that their lazy, selfish, independent. Mostly lazy. Cat nap... Actually cats seem to have a lot of dominated phrases for something so lazy. catnap, cat fight, copy-cat. Strange.
~I don't know any animal that procrastinates. I know the tortoise perseveres against the hare. I guess the hare would be the one that just pretends to be busy, but really isn't accomplishing anything.
~I guess writer's block would be a...mouse? Just because they...they're small, annoying creatures. Concentrate on the annoying feature.
~It wouldn't be a bird b/c birds are always flapping their wings. And moody is different from a lazy cat. How about...I don't know. I guess a lot of animals are productive. Maybe a spider? Because they weave a nest and then just stop waiting for things to come to them. Like I wait for my mood to pass.

Ask yourself how you might find a way to adopt this creature and take such good care of it that it would no longer get in your way. What would you feed it? Where would it sleep?
Okay, normally I'm not that big of an animal person. But I tolerate pets because I'm usually getting paid to babysit their owners.
~I'd get that cat some yarn or some toy to get it moving. Maybe play with it. Get it a friend to hang out with? It would probably sleep in a basket (like that thing the Lady in the 'Lady and the Tramp' had). Preferably as far from me as possible. Unless I learn to love the kitten and then I might let it in my room. Maybe even on my bed. Very picturesque.
~My neighbor once 'petsay' a bunny for a friend who was away. It slept in the cage. I'd probably have to clean it's cage (ugh!). They're really soft so I wouldn't mind a short visit. I don't know how the cat would react.
~There is no way I'm taking care of a mouse. My mom spotted one the other night and right now we're trying to figure out a way to get it out.
~Ditto for the spider. But I'd probably be happy for its ridding my off other creepy crawlers.

If you had a twin, what would she be like?
I wouldn't want a twin because I'd think she'd get in my way. Of course, if it was already after the fact then I'd have to deal, but if I had a choice she'll stay on this paper and never leave.
I imagine my twin to be similar to me. Only I'm worried about her being 'better' than me. For starters she'd probably be doing crunches in order to have a flat stomach and have magically clear skin.
I like being able to go school and not have to deal with family 24/7. My sister is a grade younger than me and that's cool. A twin would be around way too much. In school and out. Even if we did get along, I'm a private person who needs my own space. I'd feel pressured to be the top notch student and stay head to head with her. Because if we have the same genetic makeup should I not be on her level? I know we're not the same person. But people would have the same expectation of us.

Where would you travel if you could go anywhere? What would you do there?
I have this dream to either backpack through Europe of take a road trip through good old USA. I love history so visiting historical sights would be awesome. Learning a thing or two along the way couldn't hurt. Mostly I'd like the newness of it all. A chance to become any one I want on the trip. Even if I'm with friends. On a long trip I think it would be easier to throw caution, care, and my mom's warnings into the wind. Wouldn't it be cool to be in London/Malian/Paris and do something adventurous?

What did you see today? What didn't you see today?
I saw the inside of the fridge. I'm depressed because I gained .8 pounds this week according to the Weight Watcher scale. I'd tried especially hard to loose this week. So today I just lost it. had at least 4 bowls of cereal, 2 plates of salad, 3 pieces of challah, Turkish salad, cup of pudding, too many Oreo coookies, and I lost track of what else.
When my friends finally came over (after the rain) it was to late to walk off what I ate. We had wanted to go to the fountain. So today I missed a nice amount of sunshine.

why might you want to write?
To express myself better. To articulate what goes on in my imagination. I have this awful habit of speaking at the speed of the light. I usually don't notice until someone asks me to repeat myself or I get the feeling that they're only getting 'the gist' of what I'm saying.
Also, I've read so many books. My #1 hobby is to just bite into a book and enjoy it for the full course dinner that it is. When I read I think, I can do/write that.
They say to be a writer you have to be everything aka an observer. I'm not the world's next CIA operative for details. I'm pretty much the typical self-absorbed teen. But I think I have what it takes to plant a story and make it grow on paper (or computer as my handwriting is atrocious).
I'm told to write what I know. Which isn't the drug, alcohol sorta thing, but it's just as real. School, family and just trying to discover who I am is something that can be delivered to a broad audience.
Mostly for fun.

Do you consider yourself a writer? Why or why not?
Yes. I'm not published and haven't actively tried to write a story, but it's more like I think I have what it takes. I have things to say, ideas, a love for books. Perseverance and stuff to actually see it through remains to be seen. I do enjoy writing for my family blog and occasionally on my own personal blog-journal.

Why is writing important?
Weird question. How can writing not be important? It's been an outlet for me when I'm unable to vent my feeling by talking or destroying something. It's a way to communicate and just a way of life. It's another way to communicate for those who can't articulate and are tone deaf. It's something anyone can do. Poems, songs, letters, journals, rousing speeches. Writing is powerful.

What is it that writing brings you or you want it to bring you?
Writing is an outlet for me when I'm angry at my sister who is usually my Plan A outlet. It helps me clarify my feeling seeing them on paper. I want it to bring me fame of touching other people.

What do you want most to write about? Why?
I want it to be kind of based on my life. There isn't that much out there on Orthodox Jewish girls. Most Jewish novels aren't that great (lack of education and reading of secular books). I'd like to revolutionize that.
