Monday Musings

I'm excited to be in my first blog hop! We're all writers at various stages in our careers, and we've committed to writing about a shared topic every Monday. It's my least favorite day of the week so I like the idea of adding something fun and new on the dreaded day.  I'll provide the links so you can, well, hop, to the other writer's blogs to read their views.

Bloggers and authors often interview each other, but we're starting with a Self Interview. Be sure to get acquainted with Kirsti Jones, Chris Allen-Riley, and Tess Grant.

Self Interview

What’s your favorite word?

Namaste- partly for what it means and if you do any yoga, you'll know. I also love the way it rolls off my tongue.

What’s your least favorite word?

I'm cheating and picking a phrase: "Just sayin", it's overdone and half the time it's not used right. Pet peeve I guess.

What sound do you love?

Rain, thunderstorms, the woods, mourning dove- at our old house I used to wake every morning to this bird!

What sound do you hate?

Traffic, commercials

What’s your favorite curse word?

Sh*t usually sums things up quite well.

What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

Writer of course, travelling writer would be nice. If I can dream big- probably an actress in a Jane Austen film. A bit specific I know, but I can dream..

What profession would you not like to do?

Anything with public speaking like politician, lawyer, CEO etc. These are about the polar opposite of my personality anyways!

What do you like best about writing?

For some reason this is really hard for me to answer. It's like asking me why do you have brown eyes? It just is. Pure and simple. It's my favorite form of expression and I love the process of creating. 

What do you like least?

It prompts such great self doubt and exposes my flaws (i.e. self confidence)

Do you have a day job aside from writing?

I'm a mental health therapist by day. (I typically refrain from saying psychologist because I get the most bizarre reactions from people)

What’s your favorite animal?

Dog

Favorite color?

Green- all shades

Coffee or tea?

Tea

City or country?

Country, although I just bought a house in the city...

Pirate or ninja?

Pirate, but with both eyes

If you were a book, which book would you be?

Pride and Prejudice- I adore historical fiction, especially if it's Jane Austen, Victorian, Tudor, Medieval, and/or takes place in England. Yes, I think I was born in the wrong century!
