“Inside the mind of the writer.” Me answering my own darned questions.

After posting the entry on the questions from “Inside the Actor’s Studio” with James Lipton, I received a request from a reader (another blogger) to answer the questions myself! I had never really thought to do so before because, after all, who doesn’t love a mysterious writer (or just a complete amateur)? But alas, if I EVER receive a topic request, I will most certainly answer the call of duty and broach whatever it is that you readers want to read about. So here goes a rare look at the short stack herself:

1. Favorite word- “Vivante” which is French for “lively”

2. Least favorite word- I don’t even want to type it out I hate it so much. Think about it; it’s a synonym for “cat” that is used as a derogatory term… and I HATE that word ::grimace:: Matter of fact, I even thought about choosing a different word that I didn’t like so I could answer this question more comfortably. But then I remembered that complete and utter honesty is what makes a good writer a great writer. So there it is.

3. What turns you on- Manners.

^^^ Notice how the photo is black and white…It’s the only one I could find of a guy holding a door for a woman. Hm. Is chivalry dead?

4. What turns you off- The opposite of what turns me on; rudeness.

5. Favorite sound- Breakfast kitchen noises (dishes clinking, coffee brewing, food sizzling, people chatting, newspaper rustling…)

^^^ Breakfast is the most important meal of the day…I love breakfast.

6. Least favorite sound- Loud bass. When I was growing up, I had a lot of trouble with my ears. This resulted in many surgical procedures which in turn left me with little to no tympanic membrane covering my eardrums. The membrane is supposed to act as a shock absorber for low-frequency sound waves…Hence, bass hurts my ears.

^^^ Sub woofers are the devil.

7. Favorite curse word- I say “shit” and “dammit” too much. And I am working on correcting this habit. It’s simply not ladylike. For that matter, you boys shouldn’t do it either. But I have to admit; sometimes it is very refreshing to just let one out.

^^^ Hmm…notice a recurring theme? Yes, I believe in Southern chivalry.

8. What profession, besides the one you are currently involved in, would you like to attempt? I think being a reporter would be adventurous…and I think I would be good at it.

^^^ Not to mention that I could be like Lois Lane and marry Superman!!! : ) A girl can dream…

9. What profession would you least like to attempt? Working at a nursing home would make me extremely depressed.

^^^ I don’t know how nurses do it…Ya’ll are brave. What an admirable profession…

10. If heaven exists, what would you like God to say to you when you arrive? “Howdy.”

^^^ Hey there, God!
