September Theme - Things We Don't Allow Ourselves To Want
I've been a big fan of the Scheherezade Project for a long time. I think it was an inspired notion of Trista's to establish a forum where people of all ages, pursuits, ideologies, etc can put their own unique spin on a common theme. Most of the time, we surround ourselves with the same people/ideas/convictions/emotions. It was brave of Trista to put something together that would challenge that.
But now her baby has started to languish a little bit. I'm just as guilty as anyone - I'll read the monthly theme and make a mental note to write something up. But then...?
Nothing.
So I'm going to do something about it. I'm going to hound each and everyone of you until you contribute. I'm going to beg, plead, pester and even blackmail. You'd be surprised how much I can degrade and humiliate myself to get what I want.
And I'm going to ask a lot from you.
If you're going to contribute, I need it to be personal. I need it to come from a place you don't show to even the people closest to you.
If that's too much for you to post, you can email it to me and I'll post it anonymously (no speculation as far as whose is whose shall be permitted).
