Ha-ha, I’m it!
My fine fellow blogger, Crazy Goblin managed to catch me before I made it to safe ground so now I must answer his questions – because you know what Christina Rossetti said about Goblin Men…
Q. Have you ever been made redundant from your job and how did you feel about it?
A. Thankfully, no.
Q. If you were interviewing someone for a writing job, what 3 qualities would you look for and why?
A. I would ask; do you live in a garret and have a laudanum habit? Are you psychologically traumatised? Can you hit a deadline? Yes to any one of those three gets you the job.
Q. What is your favorite board game and why?
A. I hate board games. Competition makes me anxious and I still have nightmares about Operation.
Q. When you look at the stars, what do you see?
A. Galaxies far, far away...
Q. When you look at the ocean, what does it remind you of?
A. A big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in.
Q. How do you overcome writer’s block?
A. A change of scenery (which is just an excuse to head for a different coffee shop).
Q. If you could say 3 encouraging things to another person, what would they be?
A. I love you, in a million years time who is going to care? And no, your bum doesn’t look big in that…
Q. Do you prefer to write your stories/books/poetry/prose/articles on paper first, then type them up and edit them, or do you like to type them straight into your computer to edit?
A. Despite having romantic notions about a quill and parchment everything goes straight on the laptop. I didn’t learn to touch-type for nothing.
Q. Do you like writing in one genre or more?
A. I’m a fan of the darkly fantastic but that is a vast and multifaceted thing. I enjoy entrail-draped gimp dungeons AND cute fluffy bunny rabbits.
Q. As a writer, do you think actions speak louder than words?
A. Definitely. Words are tricksy.
Q. What is your favorite quote and why?
A. If there’s nothing wrong with me then there must be something wrong with the universe.
So, scramble everyone because if I tag you it’s your turn to copy what you see here…

I had a lot of fun doing this. I don’t usually give much personal stuff away on my blog – I’m inspired to do so more often. That pic of the swooning poet was a priceless find 🙂

The pic is awesome. It is hard to strike a balance between TMI and a little openness, which makes for a very genuine, warm, enjoyable reading experience. You definitely found that balance here. I really enjoyed it

What a great idea. I promise to do it this weekend, I just need to find some special place for it and not an ordinary post.

After I saw the Hallmark Gulliver’s Travels when I was 10, I filled up a tiny bottle with water dyed pink with food dye and carried it everywhere, pretending I was on laudanum,. Yes, I have ALWAYS been a weird child 😛
I wish we had better cafes around here to write in. I write on computer at home or in longhand on the train. My handwriting is so bad, even I have trouble reading it sometimes.
I love that last quote!

Maybe it’s a British thing. Shouting “scramble” is the cue for everyone to run away in different directions before the “catcher” sets off after them.
I’ve got a feeling it’s an old military term – split in different directions to confuse the enemy.
I was never much good at these sorts of games anyway 🙂

This seems interesting and I think I just went into a whole other world in my ever wandering mind, almost like Alice in Wonderland. I shall play! All I am to do though, is copy and paste the very same questions and that/s it, right? Wihoo! This is so much fun!

Yep, just answer the questions yourself, tag 11 others and ask them to answer too!
Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha (that’s my evil laugh, by the way) you’re most definitely IT!
