Selfathon is OPEN!

[lb-lee.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the delay and short notice, everybody! We have spent the past week helping Mac's pastor move, and are now house-sitting for them all of March. We have not had internet until now, and will not have it regularly until further notice. The writeathon is still going, and I will STILL be writing, you just might get delays in my posts or responses. Thanks for your understanding!

Now, let's get on with the writeathon! The theme today is the self.

What is it that makes us us? Is it biology, the possession of a body or brain? Is there an independent soul or spirit that could exist independently? What is the difference between us and them? Really, that the self exists at all is a miracle that's drawn discussion and thought from everyone from biologists to philosophers to theologians. And this month, we are going to write about it!  Give me your prompts about bodies without selves, selves without bodies, self-discovery, and self-annihilation!

This writeathon will be taking prompts until the 8th! An extra day since I am a day late.
