11 Questions ...Make that 22 ...Er 33

Thanks, Rachel Morgan, for tagging me in the 11 Questions game. We blog campaigners are having some fun playing the blogging writer's version of 20 Questions. So sit back and enjoy...and realize: I was answering some of these at 4:00 AM when I was just a little punchy.

1. Describe yourself in one word.

Practical

2. What was your favourite book as a child?

Little House In The Big Woods (Wilder)

3. eBooks or paper books?

Depends on price, but I prefer e-books (convenience, and storage issues)

4. If you could go back in time and change one thing in your life,

what would it be?

Go away to college right after high school

5. What song is currently stuck in your head?

The annoying background music of the Wii on standby

6. What fictional character do you most resemble?

I'll let my blogging buddies decide that. (...or maybe not. = \ )

7. If you could have any super power, what would you choose?

I almost said 'to read minds,' but on second thought: the ability to heal. I've got enough voices in my head. = P

8. What is your favourite quote?

When 'An Honorable Man' is published, I'll tell you. ; )

9. Are you a full-time writer or do you have some other day job?

Ha! I wear so many hats the door frame knocks them off when I walk through. But seriously, I write and homeschool during the weekdays, and work 12-hour nights in the NICU every weekend.

10. Which book would you pick up first: awesome cover or super cool title?

Awesome cover. I'm totally a visual person.

11. Cream or ice-cream?

I'm appalled you even have to ask. Ice cream, of course. Namely, that new flavor by Blue Bell - Spiced Pumpkin Pecan.

And, as if that wasn't bad enough...
I was also tagged by one of my crit partners, Carrie Butler, whose clever comments frequently cause me to spray coffee all over my screen.

1. What was the last song you listened to?

Well, if you don't count the annoying Wii music...
Probably something from the 70's

2. Plotter, pantser, or non-committal hybrid? ;)

Hybrid. Although Carrie might beg to differ after our last few email exchanges.
= P

3. There’s a new release from your favorite (living) author! Do you click

to order the ebook or rush out to buy it in print?

My favorite author? Hmmm. Neither. I've already read and critted it.

(Carrie? ...Why are you putting on boots?)

4. You’re stressed out. What snack do you turn to? (If you don’t

stress-eat, we don’t want to know… you robot. *grins*)

WD-40 (kidding) Nothing sweet and gooey is safe.

5. Name two fictional characters you’d want to see get in a fight.

Kermit the Frog and Pinocchio

6. The animal you most identify with is the _______.

Depends on which hormone (or lack thereof) is driving the mood swing.

7. Two things within arm’s reach:

My mouse and my dog.

8. If you had to compete in the 2012 Olympics, which sport would you pick?

Hmmm. Is computer chair sitting a sport?

9. Do you kind of hate me right now? It’s okay. I would, too. ;)

Nope. I don't get mad. I get even. *sly smile*

10. Did you eat breakfast this morning?

Is that the best #10 you could come up with? *rolls eyes* Yes.

11. Describe your current book, MS, or WIP in three words.

Scary, Sad & Sweet.

Now it's MY turn to ask the questions. *Smug Smile*
