Would you rather…

To turn this preference marathon into a piece of writing, formulate a reason behind each thing you would rather. This is a great start towards writing a memoir, and can also be helpful when creating characters whose opinions and decision making bring life to a story. Whatever you make out of our endless questionnaire, submit it to Inspired Ink for publication!
