BIG GIRLS Pt. 5
“I said what the fuck I said!” *** And that’s all folks! Now, I’m sure I could figure out a one-word story, but I’ve decided against it. I think I’ve pared these characters down as far as they’d like. We’ve had some big bodies, some big personalities, and some big mouths over the course of…

4. Write a letter from one of your characters to another I can’t believe how suddenly you showed up in my life. It was so easy to let my guard down. This is not a break-up letter, so don’t worry. When I was at my lowest point you came through for me. Yours was the…

Besides, if this stuff was so important, it wouldn’t be locked down here in this dusty old basement anyway. Ooh, look at this!” Sarah grabs Yvonne’s wrist and…
