elizabethdriscollInstructions: Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
If you've recently done this meme and would rather not post the answers and the offer in your journal, or if you're just feeling shy and would rather not post the answers/offer in your journal, feel free to participate anyway and just answer your questions in a reply comment right here. I do want to get to know you better, but it's not my intention to create work or embarrassment for anyone.
MY ANSWERS IN CAPS - BELOW
1) If you had to pick one place you've already visited and go back for a one month trip, where would it be?
AFRICA
2) If you could pick one place you've never been (and you'd only have three full days to visit) where would you pick?
ONLY 3 DAYS? PARIS
3) What's a genre that you love to read but don't have any desire to write?
NOT SURE WHAT THE GENRE IS CALLED: GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING, SEABISCUIT - those fictionalized accounts with a lot of accurate historical information.
4) What's a writing method you've read about that you wish you could make work for you, and have tried to make work for you, but the method just isn't a good fit? WRITE EVERY DAY FIRST THING IN TH E MORNING WHEN YOUR DREAMSPACE/SUBCONSCIOUS IS BRIMMING WITH YOUR BEST IDEAS. DOESNT WORK FOR ME. I CAN GET UP EARLY TO WORK OUT, BUT I AM NOT A REAL MORNING PERSON
5) What's your preferred source of publishing news and information? (This is my shameless ploy for some useful links =D) I READ A LOT OF DIFFERENT AGENT BLOGS, BUT RIGHT NOW MY FAVORI TE IS NATHAN BRANSFORD

Date: 2009-11-28 09:19 pm (UTC)I love that Nathan Bransford blog so far =D You even linked the clever way, that I can never remember or figure out how to do. I'm going to try very hard to do the early morning thing, or at least to do it 3-4 days/week. I really want to stick with it until it's less excruciating.
Maybe the genre for those books is just "historical fiction"? I'm with you. I love those, but there's no way I'd want to slog through writing one. I need to figure out how long it would take a body to wash up on the beach and the thought of it makes me want to curl up and take a nap. Could you look it up for me, please? Thanks in advance.
You have a new writing default! I always eyeball those, but decide I don't write enough to justify using it. Like if I had a slalom skiing icon or something. You probably have photos that you could icon of yourself extreme slalom skiing =__=
