you could choose your own life obstacles, would you keep the ones you have? If you could custom blend a perfume or cologne, what would it include? If you could enroll in a PhD program, with your tuition paid in full by a mysterious benefactor, what would you study — and why? If you could have tea with one fictional character, who would it be? If you could master any instrument on earth, what would it be? If you could save one endangered species from extinction, which would you choose? If you could sit down with your 15-year old self, what would you tell him or her? If you had an extra $100 to spend on yourself every week, what would you do? If you were heading out on a road trip right this minute, what would you pack? If you were searching through an online dating website, what’s the #1 quality / trait that would attract you to someone’s profile? If you were to die three hours from now, what would you regret most? If you wrote romance novels or erotic fiction, what would your “pen name” be? Is there something that people consistently ask you for help with? What is it? Is war a necessary evil? What are you an expert on? Is it because of training, lived experience, or both? What are you bored of? What are you devoted to creating, in the New Year? What are you freakishly good at? What are you starving for? What do you value most: free time, recognition, or money? What is your spirit animal? What was the best kiss of your entire life? What was the best part of your day, so far? What was the most agonizing hour of your life? What was your proudest moment from the past twelve months? What was your very first job? What was your worst haircut / hairstyle of all time? What’s going to be carved on your (hypothetical) tombstone? What’s in your fridge, right this moment? What’s in your pocket (or purse, or man-purse) right now? What’s one dream that you’ve tucked away for the moment? How come? What’s one mistake you keep repeating (and repeating)? What’s one thing you’re deeply proud of — but would never put on your résumé? What’s something you’ve tried, that you’ll never, ever try again? What’s the best birthday cake you ever ate? What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received? What’s the hardest thing you ever had to write — and why? What’s the last book that you couldn’t put down? What’s the most out-of-character choice you’ve ever made? What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? What’s the title of your future memoir? What’s the worst piece of advice you’ve ever been given? What’s your definition of an ideal houseguest? What’s your guiltiest of guilty pleasures? What’s your most urgent priority for the rest of the year? What’s your personal anthem or theme song? What’s your recipe for recuperating from extreme heartbreak? When was the last time you astonished yourself? When was the last time you got stuck in a rut? How did you get out of it? When was the last time you saw an animal in the wild? When you see peers / competitors getting things you want, how do you react? Where & when do you get your best ideas? Who is the last person that deeply disappointed you? (What happened?) Would you consider yourself an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? Would you like to write a book? (About what?) Would you rather be a lonely genius, or a sociable idiot? Would you rather have a live-in massage therapist, or a live-in chef? Would you rather have an extra $200 a day, or an extra 2 hours a day? And of course… What are you most grateful for, right now, in this moment?
