Alice sat in front of her desk and a blank sheet of paper. She had no inspiration at the moment and it was frustrating. She had a bunch of pieces of paper crumpled up next to her from her previous attempts. She was about to try one more time when her phone rang. It was Lorelei. Alice smiled and picked up the phone. 
"Hey girl, what's up?" she said into her cell phone, her usual greeting to her friends.
