A Day in the Life of a GL Intern: Dear Abby

Hey girls! My name is Abby, I’m a senior in high school, and I’ve been interning at GL for a few weeks now.

Interning at GL is so exciting for me, because I have always loved writing and art. I know it sounds kind of dorky, but I always keep a journal full of writings and drawings I do when I get ideas. Art and writing are things I want to pursue for the future, and it’s great to be part of something that involves both those things to create a magazine so many girls love.

Dear Abby

When I started GL, I was so surprised that I would actually get to write for them! It’s so cool seeing my name under the articles online, and all the comments you girls post on them. Giving advice is also one of my most favorite things to do at the office because I remember going through so many of the same things. It’s great to give someone confident and reassuring words I wish I had. When I answer letters, I’m amazed by how many states GL readers come from. This office is ten minutes away from my house, but what we do here reaches girls all over the country. It definitely makes the experience even more rewarding.
 

Perk Alert

Working at GL is also full of lots of perks that I feel only come from working at a fabulous magazine. I get to sift through tons of shoes, clothing, makeup and accessories that come into the office. It’s something that most people dread doing, but I love it! I’ve always been into fashion, and whether I’m hanging summer dresses or unpacking awesome leather boots, I get so excited seeing all the different styles and pieces. We also get to attend beauty sales that happen every few months at the office. It’s a dollar for three things, so I loaded up on cool nail polish and bronzer.

I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far, and I love being able to add to the magazine you girls rely on.

Another question, how do you become a GL intern? I know I'm not old enough yet, but for the future, GL might be really cool to work at, being my favorite magazine! (And how old do you have to be?) Thanks again!
Abby

MOD!
Hi Abby, my name is Abby, too, and I absolutely LOVE writing! I'm writing a book right now, and I'm trying to keep coming up with things to put in it, but sometimes I get stuck and can't come up with an idea to fill in the spaces! Do you ever get stuck when trying to write? And if so, what do you do to get through it? Thanks!

 

Hey girl,

I know I'm not Abby, but I'm actually studying creative writing/film in school so I think I can help you too!  Whenever I get writer's block and don't know where to go, I take a break.  A lot of things can help - going to take a walk around town and observing everything to try to get ideas, watching TV/a movie and try to get inspired by creative choices made there, or even thinking back in your life.  Even going to do something completely different {like going to the gym, cooking a meal or coloring a page in a coloring book, however silly it might seem} can help you come back to the story with fresh eyes.  Consider how you want the story to go - do you want it to progress naturally or do you want the next event to be a surprise? - and then keep your eyes open so you can be ready to be inspired at any time.


 

Another thing that helps me is to keep a little notebook with me at all times.  When I get an idea - even a small one - I write it down.  When I'm stuck while I'm writing, sometimes flipping through these notebooks really helps me come up with an idea to keep going!

Lauren C.
