The Eleven Questions " getting to know you" Tag
Rules:
1. You must post the rules.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then create ten new questions to ask the people that you have tagged.
3. Tag eleven people and link to them on your post.
4. Let them know you've tagged them! (so dem's da rules)
Here goes:
1. If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go? That's a tough one. Does it mean a new place or somewhere I have visited before? I want to got back to the Greek Isles, especially Santorini.
But, a place I have never been & I am dying to go is Fiji.
2. Why do you write in the genre you write in? I love the rush and adrenalin that I get from a good mystery. Suspense is like a drug for me. Thrillers keep me on the edge of my seat, full of fear and anxiety, but begging for more.
3. How did you come up with the idea for your current work in progress (or most recent work in progress)? A combination of cases I have witnessed in my life and a some of the criminals I met many years ago actually sparked the idea, but the story is not related even remotely to any case I have ever read about or known. I asked a bunch of those "what if" questions.
4. What came first, the chicken or the egg and why? Uh, upon advice of counsel I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may incriminate me.
5. How often do you write? Everyday (now you didn't ask how much)
7.Pizza toppings: name three of your favorites. Roasted garlic, tomato & banana peppers.
8. You're given a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble, do you a novel by your favorite author, or a how to guide on writing (such as Dwight Swain's Techniques of the Selling Author)?
It depends on which book I last bought, but nine times out of ten - the new novel by my favorite author.
9. Yes or No?
Maybe.
10. If you could have any exotic or fantastical pet, what would you have?
Honey Bear - (don't know how exotic that is).
11. Why do you write?
Because I can't sing. Just kidding (not about singing though) I write as a way to relax and because I enjoy losing myself in the worlds I create much like I like losing myself when reading a good book. Writing also allows me to express all of the emotions I tend to bury. I get to show my frustration, fear, anxiety, sadness, happiness etc. through the thoughts, action & dialogue of my characters .
OK, now my questions.
- Name one thing you consider your biggest regret in your life so far?
- If you could go back in time and do things differently, what is something you would change
- If you could travel to another time period, but you must agree to remain there for a full six months would you go? If yes what time period & where would you time-travel to the future or past
- Would you rather be on the best seller list once (only once) or win the single ticket mega multi- state lotto?
- When you write in the privacy of your own home, what do you wear?
- What was the happiest day or time of your life?
- Would you rather have loved deeply and been hurt deeply or have never felt true love before or the hurt that can go with it
- If you current novel is made into a Major Motion Film; who would play your protagonist?
- If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play you
- Name one thing about you that you seldom share with others~or something that we in the blogosphere do not know about you.
- You are a character and are being interviewed: What is your greatest strength? Worst flaw?
So, now I am it. I get to tag you... and you... and you... and...............
