So... I've been thinking.
(No... stop shuddering. It's not that scary.)
I've been sharing a lot of information about myself. My fears, my secrets, my beliefs, my writing experiences, my hobbies (even a little bit about my country.)
But that's a bit of an issue for me.
Because there's a whole lot of me and not a lot about you.
So today I'm going to give you ten sentences to complete. You can say anything. I won't judge. I just want to know. :-)
Here goes:
1) Love is...
2) I hate it when...
3) I believe...
4) I hope...
5) I fear...
6) I write, because...
7) If I could have one wish...
8) I love...
9) Soon, I am going to...
10) I am very good at...
See? Not too difficult. If you think that your comment is going to be too long or if you're shy, you can mail it to me. But I think it will be an awesome way for all of us to get to know each other.
Come on then, lay it out there. As much or as little as you want.
1) Love is my husband going to work everyday so that I can stay home and take care of my kids. It's my children sharing stories and my daughter's syrupy kisses and the beautiful notes and pictures that my son gives me.
ReplyDelete2) I hate it when I make mistakes or say stupid things and make people feel badly. :(
3) I believe that everyone has a purpose in this world.
4) I hope that what I do, say, and write will make an impact on other peoples' lives in a positive way.
5) I fear not doing a good enough job at a lot of things.
6) I write because I love it. It's fun. I can't NOT. God gave me words and I want to use them. The characters push and prod and scream at me until I write them.
7) If I could have one wish, it would be that some different things in my life and my family's lives come to fruition.
8) I love God, my family, my friends, my life.
9) Soon, I am going to read a LOT OF BOOKS. Because it has been too long since I just set aside time to read. No thinking about plots and writing and editing. Just reading.
10) I am very good at baking. Or at least, I like baking and I can do I try? ;) I guess I don't feel like "I'm awesome at this"--I always try to approach anything as "I love doing this, but I'm always trying to improve." Writing, being a wife and mother--there's always room for me to grow.
Thanks for giving us the chance on this blog to get to know you, too. :)

7) If I could have one wish I would take my family on a dream vacation for free!
8) I love my husband, children, family, etc.

Thanks for the post. Great idea to get to know your followers! I might just steal this myself.
Hi all! Because I just wanted to know more about you, I'm not going to comment to your comments, because it isn't my place to judge you for your beliefs.
ReplyDeleteSo instead, I'm posting my answers:
1) Love is being willing to sacrifice yourself for someone else.
2) I hate hypocrites, arrogance and people who think that "NONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!" is a winning argument.
3) I believe in God and His love and mercy. I also believe that ghosts, angels and demons exist. (Seen/experienced them)I also believe in respecting other people's opinions as long as they respect mine. If they don't I lose respect for the person as well.
4) I hope that one day I will find my place in the world.
5) I fear the fact that people are more willing to follow without thought than to stand out in a crowd.
6) I write because it makes me happy and brings me catharsis.
7) If I could have one wish, it would be that people will stop judging each other and measuring themselves by other people's standards. If that one's too tricky, I wish people would learn the difference between God-sanctioned and human-sanctioned. Also, that people that say they do evil things in the name of God would grow a second head and get pink spots. Would make things a lot easier.
8) I love: God, family, friends, my characters and chocolate.
9) Soon, I'm going to crawl into bed with a nice book. (As in, as soon as I'm done here.)
10) I am very good at doing stuff in public, like speeches, acting and singing. Also, writing essays, dialogue and characters. (I hope.) I'm also pretty darn good at being honest. As in, if you don't want to know the truth, don't ask me if those jeans make you look fat.
So yeah. That's a bit of me.
And I like and/or respect every single answer I got back. Every single one of you is awesome in your own right.
XX
1) Love is... an attitude more than a feeling.
ReplyDelete2) I hate it when... HWMNBMOTI is crabby.

4) I hope... I make it big enough to support myself.
5) I fear... financial devastation (we live too close to it)
6) I write, because... it is what makes me feel like ME.

1) Love is a mini-splintered thing.
ReplyDelete2) I hate it when my captives try to escape after I've explicitly told them not to.

7) If I could have one wish, I'd be all like, "Who the hell stole my first two wishes, Mr. Genie?"
8) I love Lucy. But don't tell Desi. Because he's dead. Actually, so is Lucy. So... let's pretend I didn't say anything.
9) Soon, I am going to rule the world with a plastic fist. (The iron one was too expensive.)
10) I am very good at not taking these things at all seriously.
