Bailey @ The Curiosity Collections tagged me for this! Thanks!

I'm still gone by the way. But you know, had to pop by and say 'hi.' 
*clears throat*
Hi! 


 

1. Are there any other writers in your family? 


Haha! No.

This is my life, people.

I'm the only odd fish here.

2. What are your other hobbies besides writing?


Talking to my imaginary friends.

Plotting their lives. . . sometimes their deaths.

Reading books like they're going extinct.

Pretending like I'm some expert in ALL THE THINGS, and therefore creating my own world.

Making up conversations in my head. Because it is very infuriating to think of the smart comebacks after a conversation is over!

Aka writing.

*whispers* Mental writing.

3. Waffles or pancakes?


Waffles. You can put them in the toaster!

Also:

4. Do you collect anything?

Uh, books?

I would say candy but then. . . I eats it. 

5. Who is your favorite Avenger?

What kind of a question is this? Who do you think you are? 

*sighs*

You are all very cruel. Reminding me that Spidey isn't an Avenger.

 I like Loki!

Oh, wait. . .

Okay, fine then. Thor is cool. As well as the Hulk. Captain America. Hawkeye.


But I like Spider-man.

6. Do you play any instruments?

Let me explain. No, I'll sum up. 

I attempt to make music on the guitar, and it comes out like noise.

 Also, I'm learning how to play bass. I'm so stoked about it! (Yay. . . more noise. Go Ashley.)
 

7. What is your favorite character you've ever written?

Wow, really? You're actually going to ask that. 

source

 Um, I don't know if I can answer this one. It really is like Evans says. How can you ask me to pick a favorite child?! You make things so difficult.

source

 
 To appease you monsters, I'll say Peril.

8. What is your favorite character you've ever read?


Again with the favorite questions! Are you human, Tris?!

I'm just going to say Aragorn.

And I dislike you all and your favorite questions.

9. Do you prefer to write short or long works?


Every time I try to write something short, it grows into a novel. 

I've stopped fighting it. 

10. What was the last absolutely stupendous book you read?

I read Pride and Prejudice.

Oh, and Sherlock Holmes. Alwayses Sherlock Holmes.

source

You're turn!

The all important question here: Waffles or Pancakes? 

And always: the best book you've read recently. But that should go without saying, right?

In which Many Things may be Found

This is a life update.

Just thought I'd forewarn you.

I hope you don't mind some old, random pictures of trees and stuff.

I've been throwing Sherlock quotes at everyone recently. I really need a Sherlock marathon. Soon too, before I drive everyone crazy. Though, half the time they don't even know what I'm talking about.

I got this lovely necklace from PaperFuryInk

Recipe for Heaven on Earth

1. Melt semisweet chocolate chips.

2. Mix salted peanuts into melted chocolate.

3. Let dry, then eat. Or just consume it gooey.

My library does not have the fourth Ranger's Apprentice book. *wails* What am I to do!?

But I am reading Graceling by Kristin Cashmore. Have you read it? What did you think? 

Oh, and I finally finished the second season of Once Upon a Time. Now I must have the third. Most of my family loves this series. Have you seen it?

I just bought the album Cathedrals by Tenth Avenue North. This was the first song.

I have a really hard time remembering this. I'm very much a loner and will honestly not talk to anyone about anything. But the other day, my best friend came over and when she said, "What are you thinking?" I could tell her for truth exactly what was going through my mind at that exact moment. People, I don't do that with just anyone. It was so nice for a change!

Blogposts you should check out

Aimee's guest post on Writer and Proud. She talks about why characters need motivation. I needed this post.

Annika's post on love triangles, the different kinds, ways to break the cliche, etc. You must all read this! Yes, I'm pointing at you.

Carmel's post about Truth and writing. I love how pithy and beautiful her posts are. They really hit home.

I don't wear make-up often. In part, because I don't care. I have better things to do with my life. . . like write, and read, and watch Once Upon a Time. *cough* VERY important, that latter one. When I do actually wear make-up, I always get compliments on my hair. Yep. My hair. Why? I have no idea.

(In case for some absurd reason you wondered, no. I do not put the make-up on my hair.)

I've been having a time of it with the Oddball Sequel. You see, I'm at the part where things aren't so bad for the characters. They actually get a chance to get to know each other and- dare I say- get along. 

It's seems writing pleasant things, doesn't suit me. I don't know where to go with it. The conversations, the what-is-supposed-to-happen, the feel-goody parts. I know where I want to go with it, it's just the getting there has me stuck.   

I'm going away for a week or so with my family. So I won't be around much.

What have you all been up to? What are you reading? Have you read Graceling? Or seen Once Upon a Time?

Summer Writing Camp #6

I hope you all liked #5 with it's dragon. In fact, there's still time left to join if you wish. Also you don't want to miss on what everyone wrote. The creativity is strong with this blogsphere.

Ahem. I will be gone for the next week. But for now, here's a prompt/link up thing. The deadline is August 14th.

Have an awesome week!
