Questions Given to me

• What is your favorite dessert?

Mint chocolate chip ice cream.

• Think back to your childhood, what is one of your favorite memories?

Clue board game: Professor Plum in the library with a rope.

When I was twelve I had a birthday party that was essentially a life sized game of Clue. We made personalized invitations assigning each person a name from the board game or additional color themed names. It wasn’t as successful as we would have liked due to lying, but it was still very fun and well put together.

Edit: I’d like to clarify that it was a pretend life sized version of Clue. No one actually died, though we did make a fake crime scene. If it had been real it wouldn’t have been a very happy memory, now would it?

• Who or what got into reading – why are you the bookworm you are today?

My well loved edition of The Chronicles of Narnia that helped me get into reading.

I had a hard time learning to read, but have always loved stories. At school I was forced to read books for children younger than my age group because of my low reading level. Thus, books seemed overly simplistic to me until I discovered fantasy books lying around my house. I think it was the Chronicles of Narnia that made me first start to enjoy reading.

•  What goals do you have for your blog?

I started this blog because I wanted people to talk to about what I was reading. My goal remains the same: to have a place where I can discuss what I’m reading and writing with people who are actually interested in it.

• If you could be featured by or write for any blog or publication, what would it be?

I’d love to be able to write for just about any famous blog or publication. None in particular come to mind at the moment.

• You are being sent into space for a year and can only bring one book because of the weight restrictions (no Kindle) what book would you bring?

I would bring Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Not sure it would pass the weight restriction because of how huge it is (see above), but I could reread this book for a long time without getting board. If I can bring unpublished books I would bring the next book in the series.

• What was your favorite subject in school?

History because it’s as close to storytelling and reading as you can get in a class.

• You can only pick one superpower, what would it be?

I’ve written an entire novel length work from the perspective of a character who can read minds, but that has only made me realize how much I don’t want that ability.

The ability to move objects with my mind would be my choice. It would be extremely helpful to be able to get to objects too far to reach.

• Coffee or tea?

Tea

• Dogs or cats?

This is a hard question for me. Probably dogs because I currently have one, but I don’t have a cat.

• Last question, if you could make enough money to live comfortably no matter what you do, what would your dream job be?

  

  Printed draft of one of my works in progress.

Fiction writer, I write novel length works in my spare time, but would love being able to do so full time with no financial pressure.
