2) Have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?
Not really. I have writers that have influenced me or that I felt like they might understand me, but no one just like me.

3)List your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.

  • Doctor Who- Donna Noble
  • Torchwood – Jack Harkness
  • Supernatural – Dean Winchester
  • Sherlock – John Watson
  • Firefly – Malcolm Reynolds
  • Star Trek – Hikaru Sulu
  • Muppets – Kermit
  • LOTR – Samwise Gamgee

There’s probably more fandoms, but that’s all I can think of right now.

17 Would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?

Pretty much. Slightly more cursing in real life.

22 List the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.

Oh geeze, um:

  1. Messing around on the Internet
  2. Skyping with friends
  3. Rping
  4. Writing my own stuff
  5. MTurk (at least lately)

30 Pick one of your favorite quotes.

This is my all time favorite quote and pretty much my life philosophy:

“Yeah, well, I’ve got a dream too. But it’s about singing and dancing and making people happy. That’s the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And, well, I’ve found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And, well, it kind of makes us like a family.” –  (Kermit the Frog – The muppet movie. On my dreams more about writing, but the sentiment still stands)

Ask me stuff

Rules: repost and tag like 10 people you would like to get to know better.

I’m oddly pleased I got 1099 royalty statements for tax purposes. It’s not much. But I made enough selling my book to earn a tax statement for it.

Ok, for Valentines I think fic writers should write AUs based on how they met their significant others. I’m gonna do it!

IF YOU DO THIS LETS USE THE TAG #True love story!

YES!

ok, I’m doing the thing. It’s too perfect.

… I met my husband of nearly 17 years the way I’ve pretty much met all friends. Going up to a random stranger and just start talking to them.

He said his first impression of me was “Who is this and why are they talking to me?” (also it was like 5 in the morning and we were in the Navy)

We got married two months later…
