oh man, I am fizzling out...... this week has been a struggle to come up with posts for the challenge.... so I'm kinda going to cheat a little.... today's post will be for QUESTIONS.
go on .. ask me anything you want... and I'll answer it.
I wish I had started my writing journey sooner. It's only been about a year that I've started writing with the intention of getting published... before then, it'd been a year of writing short stories because it was fun.
I wish I had started in my 20's instead of 30's.... but then there's part of me that thinks I wouldn't have been ready to be serious about it back then. so it all happens for a reason, right?
We're getting to the end of the alphabet with all the hard letters, eeek! This is a fun idea, though. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up (other than author)?
an archeologist, then a translator for the United Nations, and then a therapist (I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist) and now a writer :)
Though I still do some consulting work for the agency I worked at before kids..... I'm hoping that once the kids go to school full time, I'll be able to focus on writing full time. we shall see.
they were all really good...... some I loved more than others, obviously... if you look over at my sider bar you will see my favorites of the year so far..... so so good :) If I'm going to recommend one that's super FUN and different, read Cinder... it's so awesome. One of my favorite MC's ever.
I promise, I promise you will get something as soon as it's ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was hoping to have more writing done,... but with the kids being off from school this week, I decided that I really needed to do the "good mommy" thing, and spend lots of time doing fun things with them.... it's exhausting, LOL and I'm dying to get back to writing. This balancing act is tough!!!!
wow, how is that for an answer to a simple question, LOL
This week is a struggle for me (period!) Too much going on. I think I'm going to drown in stress and chaos. Love you though! LOTS! (and not in a creepy way, so don't worry.) :)
oh, I love you more than I love rainbows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and NOT in a creepy way either.. though I CAN get creepy if that's your thing! LOL
and please don't drown, at least not until you finish your WIP and send it to me... ahem, I mean, take a deep breath, the week is almost over and you got a new computer, things can only look up from now ;)
ack!!!!! bugs oh bugs, i don't like any of them. And I was totally going to pick lightning bugs, but decided to google them first... ew, they are REALLY UGLY!
Should I pick butterflies, they are gorgeous (though I'd hate for one to touch me)... but I don't want to be a gorgeous bug, I want to be a cool bug... so I pick Dragonfly. :)
at the moment my favorites are Modern Family- I'd love to be adopted by them... i LOVE every single character in that show. Community is another I love... so quirky and funny, and I'm so glad they didn't cancel it last season. I also love Game of Thrones- it's epicness is out of control.
my guilty pleasure is The Bachelor/Bachelorette hehe... and that's about the only TV I watch. Oh, oh, and Sherlock Holmes on BBC... soooooo awesome!
How much would you miss me if I were gone? I know, morbid ... my initial thought was to ask how much you love me, but someone already asked that, so this was my go around way of asking = )
if you were gone I'd be missing a piece of my heart forever! and I imagine it'd kinda hurt to have a gaping hole there....
and I wonder if there would always be a blurp, blurp, blurp, sound as some of the blood dripped from the hole as it passed through. Though I would probably be the only one that heard it. God, that would be annoying after a while. It would probably pool somewhere-- maybe right on my left side above my hip-- and form a little pouch.. HEY I could be a walking blood bank!!!! I could have port installed so that if someone was bleeding out I could just you know, hook them up... LOL
Are you going to finish the new WIP? (Correct answer = YES because it sounds awesome!!)
ReplyDeleteAnd,
what song have you been listening to the most, lately?
YES! absolutely I'm going to finish it! LOL
DeleteThe past week I have been listening to Angus and Julia Stone A LOT!!!!!
Awwww ... I love Angus & Julia, no wonder we've been friends so long ...

How are you enjoying your 2012 Reads list so far? I see some titles on there that are on my TBR list, too.
