I've been tagged!

I logged on this afternoon to find that I've been tagged by a fellow campaigner to answer 11 questions and then tag others with 11 of my own questions.

Ah, Hildred, How I wanted to bang my head on the computer when I saw that you tagged me to answer these questions AND then make up my own. I always go blank when trying to come up with my own random questions like this. I do, however, appreciate the shout out. *grin* Your answers to your own set of questions cracked me up by the way!

1. What is the single most annoying trope that makes you want to claw your eyes out?


I actually annoy myself with one that I have to repeatedly edit OVER and OVER. I have no idea why, but to me anything evil is associated with being cold, icy, frigid, etc. When I first started writing, I would use it TOO much, for example:  Now, though I don't use it as much, it still finds its way into my writing on occasion. And I groan each time. I have no idea why.


2. If you could alter history and claim credit for any book ever written, what would it be?

Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy - Love it!

3. How many kids were in your HS graduating class? (or are in your class right now, if you're still in school)

7-2 girls and 5 boys...yes, I am serious.

4. If you were guaranteed massive success either way, would you rather traditionally publish or self-publish?

Traditional. I just feel like it is more validation to not only have fans love your work, but also have other professionals in your field love it too.

5. What's the most you've ever paid for an article of clothing...for yourself?

$100 for a pair of jeans *sheepish grin*

6. Singer, Model, or Actress - who you gonna be?

Singer- if only my voice weren't just 'good' but had that something 'special' to it.

7. Chef, Driver, or Maid - who you gonna hire?

Chef- maybe then I'd eat consistently healthier and keep that dumb 10 lbs off my short self.

8. Bath or shower?

bath...with bubbles, a large glass of wine, the iPod in the dock, and a book

9. You're scheduling for a delivery to your house during normal business hours. What time do you request, and why?

10:30am. I am home from the gym and won't have scheduled my next activity for another hour.

10. Could you survive a whole year or more in a traditional Japanese apartment? (for the record, the one in the video is 10x nicer than mine, although mine is technically larger. Yay.)

I am married and have a 5 year old. His toys, alone, would fill the entire space. So no.

11. Favorite Pokemon. And you can't cop out with "i dunno Pokemon" because here's a link, pick the cutest one!

I like Ponyta. However, I have never watched Pokemon, so this selection is based on the fact that I love unicorns and the fact that the description said it can change into Rapidash, which is pretty cool.

7. Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid?
8. Have you named a child after a character from a novel, short story, or poem you've written?
