Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before You Begin to Write.

Chiang_Mai_boy @Chiang_Mai_boy (3882) • Thailand 28 Oct 08

A good point of departure for writing anything is to first ask some questions. Use the time-honored question words, who, why, what, where, when and how. The first thing you need to do is address who. Who is your audience?...

kc_159_98 I guess I am strange in my writing. I don't think about it. As long as I just let it come out however it wants it seems to work out pretty well. When I start thinking about what, when, why, how, who and all of that I tend to over think the whole thing and...

do you get shy when someone stares at you?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 13 May 07

I, myself, is a very shy person. It's been a part of my personality ever since I was a kid. I think it's natural! I know a lot of us also feel the same way when someone stares at us especially when they stare from head to...

kc_159_98 I get very self-consious when people stare at me, especially if they start whispering to someone else. In my own mind I am a very pessamistic person so of course I'm thinking that they are laughing at me or talking bad about me. Over the years I've gotten...

Have you ever actually been in a physical fight in your life?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 4 Oct 08

kc_159_98 I have been very lucky. I've never been in a physical fight. I've come close. I've always been the one to let someone else throw the first punch. Most won't do it so I just walk away. Those few who have, I ran. Seems kind of silly to admit it, but I did. I...

kc_159_98 I agree with you. When I have those or deja vu I feel it is God's way of telling me that I am where he wanted me to be at that moment and I am doing what he wants me to. I also know that he has dreams and you know I believe when you tell me about them.

If you had a chance to sit down with three members of the myLot community for a couple of hours of quite discussion, in person, who would it be? My choice would be Gnosisquist, Misskatonic and Thomas73. Who would you chose?

kc_159_98 Why should our governemt be able to say what we can spend our money on? We earned that right by going to work every day. To me it's like the governemt telling us we can't spank our kids. THATS NOT THEIR DESCISION! That is up to the individual. Period.
