I am in college. I have a bike. I live a mile from school. I do not have any pets. I like to write short stories. I want to share my writing. I like living alone. I have only traveled domestically. I have an older brother. I like Italian food.
I love to cook. I live on the third floor of my building with a lot of roommates. I am losing weight. I enjoy reading.I write about travel. I want to visit Iran. I am open minded to opposing points of view. I have graduated from college. I have more than one cat. I live 3 miles from the other speaker.
What is it about Iran that appeals to you?  In college, I took a course on middle-east politics and Iran was an interesting subject. Persian culture is extremely rich, but the government is very oppressive. I am interested in the culture that has survived in spite of authoritarianism. Plus, I would love to taste Iranian cuisine in its homeland. There is nothing quite like food in its ability to persuade you to enjoy culture.   I do love trying new foods. It's honestly somewhere I have never considered travelling too. When do you think you will go? I am hoping to go next Spring. It's not the safest place in the world, so my family and roommates are not quite convinced that I should go. So I am still trying to convince them. I am also trying to see how our new administration handles its relationship with Iran. That way I do not enter into any unnecessary risks. Have you ever though about traveling internationally? That makes sense. I would love to travel outside the US but I want to finish college first. I think travelling would also help me write more interesting stories. Have you ever had any bad experiences travelling? Most of my experiences have been positive. I did have one negative experience when I visited Mexico with my friends. The hotel we stayed at was really messy and I got food poisoning, so I couldn't really enjoy the Mexican culture. I think traveling will defiantly help you writer more interesting stories. When i started traveling, my creative juices flowed like never before and I became a travel writer.  That sucks. Nothing worse than being ill on vacation! Yeah I really think it would help. When I visited NASA I couldn't wait to write space stories! The imagination is powerful on its own, but add some external inspiration to it and it will explode. Traveling, music, other stories in the forms of books. shows, movies all help inspire my writing. What else inspires your writing? At the moment I have severe writer's block. I think it is because I am stressed studying for exams. Usually I get my inspiration from TV and movies.  Seeing that you were inspired by Nasa. I recommend watching the TV Show For All Mankind. It's an alternative history telling of the space race where the USSR reaches the moon first. Despite it sounding like a dystopian tales, its actually very hopeful and inspiring. It may just break you out of your writer's block. But if it doesn't, I would pressure myself if I was you. Exams are important but temporary so you will find your inspiration sooner or later.  That sounds really good I will definitely give it a watch. I really enjoyed NASA and I wrote several space and dystopian short stories. I think that is probably my niche  Yes, I believe it will be. The scenery and setting is so realistic; it feels like a world we could live in, which makes it better for someone seeking to jump start the imagination. So who would you consider your favorite writer? I like Hunter S. Thompson.
