Megan Shepherd Takes the Dare

Can I just say, you guys sure do know how to suggest some good Truths & Dares.

As I was going through the list of submitted truths & dares, I was sorely tempted to pick this one from Alyssa Sooklal that goes, "I dare you not to bathe for a week." Except then my friends reminded me that's more or less a normal week for me. Welcome to the glamourous life of a writer!

So in the interest of personal hygiene and keeping my friends, I instead chose this dare submitted by Heather Zundel:




That was a great dare, Heather. I now know how to accurately write about sheer terror. Thanks, I guess?

Next up is Brandy Colbert, our newest member, on Tuesday, July 3! This will be Brandy's first Truth or Dare, so let's make it a great one. You can submit truths & dares for her here.

    Love it, Megan. This reminds me of the Sex and the City episode where Carrie takes the trapeze lessons for a story. Also, I am terrified of heights. TERRIFIED.

      Whoa, I didn't know that happened in Sex in the City! So cool, I'll have to try to find it.

      Aw, thanks! I'm OK with heights. Just not so much the jumping off of them.

    That was awesome!!! I can't believe you picked my dare. And to be truthful, I thought you were one of the demonstrators at first, so I thought you did great! And you learned what it was like to write about sheer terror? Two experiences for the price of one. ;)

    "Fortuitous." I instantly like you for your use of big words, Megan. (I mean, I liked you before, but...) :)
    That looked so epic. And you looked so graceful.
    Except, all I can think is "now she gets to be Kristin Cashore!"

    Nice dare. =D
