Why I Write
When I write, I draw on my experiences as a woman with a painful past, a rapturous wife and mother, a world traveler, and a spiritualist. For me, writing is an art form. Like an artist, the work becomes more than I imagined it would be. When I set out to write a story with a particular idea or character in mind, words I cannot claim as my own flow from a magical and mysterious place through me and onto paper. The work takes on a life of its own; it is living art. The process fascinates me, satiates me, and makes my life more meaningful.

'Q' is for...?
Yesterday's 'P' word was 'Patronization.' That was a tough one for me to write about. Thanks for your guess!
Today's 'Q' prompt word is depicted by a character in the excerpt below. See if you can guess what personal attribute I've described that begins with 'Q'. Can't wait to read your comments!
Here goes:
“I’m so glad you’re here, Sara!” Libby squealed, yanking her friend into the apartment. “I simply can’t decide who to wear to the party.” She led Sara down the narrow corridor and into the tight confines of her bedroom.
“Well,” Sara said, perched on the edge of the bed, “It’s casual…”
“Right.” Libby rubbed her chin and looked thoughtfully into her closet. She pulled out a pink mohair sweater with a second hanger hooked behind it, so that a pink and black plaid skirt dangled below the sweater’s hem. “What about Charlotte?”
“Charlotte?”
Libby held the outfit up a little higher. “Yes, right here. Hello?”
Sara stared at the clothes with a look of confusion on her face.
“You’re right,” sighed Libby. “Charlotte went to the Robert twins’ party three weeks ago. She’d be recognized, n’est-ce pas? Ooh! I know.” She reached back into the closet. “What about Zandra? She’s a hoot at parties!”
Sara’s eyes traveled from the sleeveless, zebra-striped mini-dress to Libby’s animated face, and simply shook her head. “You are the kookiest friend I have,” she said with a giggle.
“Aw! Thanks, Sara!" She held the dress up to herself. "So…Zandra comes to the party with us?”
Any ideas what 'Q' word prompted this scene?
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
