Question of the Day

Pick a personality of some kind. One you've read about in a book, someone interesting who you know in real life or even a friend of a friend. If they were a superhero, what would be their powers?

Question of the Day

Pick one of your favorite characters from a book. If you were to meet that character, what trait would you likely find most striking/intriguing about him or her? 

Remember: anything goes! Personality, physical attribute, past experience...

P.S. I'm new at this. If you have a better question for tomorrow, let me know!

Welcome to the Paper Box

Brain buzzing with excitement.
Ideas flying by, most of them hardly pausing long enough for a portion of them to be captured.
Twists and turns, plot points, and climaxes growing like vines, zig-zagging and clinging.
Beautiful faces with long, thick histories singing sirens' songs.
Love, passion, mystery, and mayhem drenching the skin in their sweet wetness.
Fantasy and fiction morphing with reality. Painfully.

Writing is an art, one that is quickly forgotten without constant interaction by the artist. However, pen and paper are no longer crucial to this endeavor. The wonderful, glorious, overused Internet is now the preferred medium for many. Fortunately, all the important places (home, Starbucks) are now wired and are available in less time than it takes to find the dusty quill under the couch. 

Welcome to the Paper Box.

This is a place for aspiring writers (even those with no writing experience - read: me) to find inspiration. To interact through thought and key. To boldly go... anywhere without plagiarism. So dig deep within your writing soul and find what's interesting, what's intriguing, and what's missing. We gladly take ideas, advice, and friendly criticism. 

Enjoy!
