@TheLizBrownShow This is SO my problem when writing too!

[Laura Ferguson Bengs @BengsLaura]

I was extra awkward on my interviews today. Lots of gibberish words. 😐

@EPetrotta @okstate Hi @EPetrotta, I'm a freelancer who covers education! I've written for Marquette University. If you want to send an email to laurafergusonbengs(at)gmail(dot)com, I'd love to learn more about what you're looking for!

Sometimes I really miss working with high schoolers. #journalism #highschool

@amymelissaestes My husband and I JUST talked about this! I will credit the brilliant @J_CameronLive with this advice: what did you like doing as a child? What does "child you" find fun? Do that!

@laurenspieller New writer here...help me understand the timing of fall? I am familiar with NANO, but I feel like like the winter would be when I would be cranking work out!

[Laura Ferguson Bengs @BengsLaura]

@rochi_zalani For sure reading the piece days after I've written it.

@ByEmilyStMartin I do this ALL the time. I have about 9 books I need to (and genuinely want to) finish.

Why do we call it “losing weight?” I didn’t lose it. I know exactly where it went, and it took me weeks of making bummer decisions to get rid of it—on purpose. #eating #weightlossjourney

My 8yo had the audacity to ask me why I cross my legs when I sneeze.

You, dude. You are the reason.

@kat_boogaard Does the temptation to get a “real” job ever really go away?

[Laura Ferguson Bengs @BengsLaura]

@ByEmilyStMartin But also potentially helpful advice?
