Are You Trying Too Hard To Fail?
Imagine taking your canoe down to the river’s edge and putting it into the water… And as you get into the canoe, you deliberately point it upstream and begin working very hard at trying to make movement upstream.

Scandal Fan Fiction by Me
Quinn Perkins slaps a photo of a nice white lady onto the wall of the conference room for Olivia Pope and her associates to see. “Our newest client: Linda Cameltoe. 46 years old, turning 3 in January due to unfortunate leap year timing.”
