I'm a research assistant on the GoodPlay Project , which is directed by Dr. Howard Gardner at Harvard University. I created this LiveJournal account in order to contact and invite LJ users who are between the ages of 15 and 18 to participate in a one hour, confidential interview at our offices in Cambridge, MA (or a more convenient location for research participants who may not live nearby). The interviews are fairly open-ended and informal - a chance for you to share with us thoughts about your...

As the end-of-semester nears, I have several tests and a research paper looming over my head like the Sword of Damocles, threatening to fry my brain at any moment. And to add to that, my funny, quirky little NaNoWriMo novelette had decided to become a lil' mini sprawling epic.
