Got a couple of questions. 1) I'm not currently a write for Provoketive. How much of a time committment is it? 
2) I want to write on the topic of hope and I have an idea that i can develop; however, I'd need to get the okay to write about the situation from other people. If I sign up to write and then they say "no, please don't post this piece", am I still obligated to post something?
