Today, I attended a combined playwriting workshop for theatre and literary arts majors, which was taught by a peppy young woman from a city theatre troupe.  

Within a few minutes of our arrival, she distributed pink and purple index cards. We were instructed to write our hopes on the pink ones and our fears on the purple ones.  

Being that my friends are also writers, our cards said the exact same thing: 

Hope: I hope that I don’t have to socialize.

Fear:  Socializing.
