What Would You Do If You Were Freed of Circumstance?

The latest Glimmer
Train bulletin
is now available.




I love this piece featured from Lydia Fitzpatrick, "Characters, Unfettered," where
an interview with Brad Watson leads to deep insight. Here's a brief excerpt:

The central idea for the [Brad's] novella had evolved
… in order to study "where the human imagination takes a human life when unfettered
by unexpected circumstances."



OK, I thought, interesting. I sent the interview off to the editor. I ate some ramen.
Lived my life. But this idea kept coming back to me. While I walked my dog (pathetically
fettered as I am), or stared at the hot bar at the Piggly Wiggly, or refreshed my
Facebook news feed. What would my life be, if I freed it of circumstance?





Find out Lydia's
answer
, and start thinking about your own.
