A Little Bit of Random

Photograph by Julia King 2009 (Cinque Terre)

Gina Denny recently beta'd my WIP. I'd like to thank her lots and lots for her amazing suggestions. Kristin Lynn Thetford did as well. She's the grammar girl of all grammar girls. Loved having her help in that area. Thank you girls!
I'll admit I'm stealing this blog idea from one of Gina's blog posts. I'm going to fill in the following blanks, so you can get to know me a bit better.

I am ... not a morning person. If I could, I'd sleep in until 10:30AM every day. Uh... or longer.

I can't stand ... ticking clocks or any repetitive noises. *cringe*

My idea of relaxation would be ... laying out on a beach (more specifically, a beach on the Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera) reading a book and catching some rays. *sigh*

If I had an extra $50, I would ...  buy a couple books or a couple shirts. Maybe buy something good to eat. There are so many options. Maybe you can decide for me. :)

A recipe I'm dying to try is ... I don't really cook much and if I do, it's just throwing stuff together to see if it tastes good. But, the recipe I love to make is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies. Numms. But I can't make them right now because I'm still going strong with my no sweets diet. Woot!

Well, now it's your turn to fill in these blanks, so I can get to know you better. Comment away, folks!

Author Interviews. Crazy, Huh?

I'm sort of tripped out. Why? I've had two people over the past couple weeks ask me to do author interviews. I never really thought I'd be in the position where people would be asking me to do interviews. Crazy, huh?

When I was a kid, I dreamed about being an actress because I wanted to be in the movie Twister (I wouldn't have been very good at that--I stink at acting). I also wanted to be an astronaut (that aspiration came about cause I loved loved loved the movie Apollo 13). Those were careers that could have offered interviews. But they would have definitely never panned out to anything for me, though.

Anyway, now I'm actually doing interviews. Feels so odd to me. Well, today on my writing friend's blog I've done my second interview. Her name is Kristin L. Thetford. She is super amazing. Click on her name to read the interview. I tried to make it entertaining, not bland but laced with my personality.

If you want to check out my first interview, it's on my writing friend/CP's blog (the lovely Jamie Corrigan). She has been so supportive, and I appreciate her a lot. Likewise, click on her name to read it.

I do feel pretty sheepish sharing these with you but hopefully there will be more to follow. That will mean I'm becoming an established author. Although, I hope they don't all come all at once. I don't have enough time for that. 

If you've done interviews before, how did you feel doing your first few? Or what was your favorite question you've ever answered? Do you answer with silly answers or serious or a mixture of both? 

Or, ya know? I just shared two things I wanted to be when I was a kid. What did you want to be when you were a little kid?
