I really...Totally agree with you about Bella Swan. I really hated her character by the end of book one, and it went down hill from there through the rest of the series. I did finish them, though! You are not alone with sounding obsessed with the desire to be a successful writer! I think you're just saying what everyone thinks! :)Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531324919089791378.post-13005764538238834492012-02-17T16:02:01.992-08:002012-02-17T16:02:01.992-08:00Great answers Sharon!

"I'll be back" I think because my kids keep on saying it.<br />5. Painly, Cooper, Hunter<br />6. Sugar, sugar and sugar. Sprinkled with sugar.<br />7. Most likely Sector Twenty or The Source.<br />8. I think there's a mix of me in each character, but they're way cooler.<br />9. Dialogue for sure. Only because I like to be a smart alec in my responses.<br />10. Five WIPs in the works. <br />11.

What do you think is the hardest part of writing?<br />Not knowing if I'll ever be published<br /><br />2. What is the easiest part of writing?<br />Writing the first draft (you know, before critique partners and beta readers step onto the scene). <br /><br />3. Sun or snow?<br />Definitely sun. I hate being cold! So I'll probably be moving to Siberia...<br /><br />4. What is your favorite movie quote?<br />For some reason Clueless was the first movie that came to mind. There are so many great quotes in there. So I'll just go with this:<br />"So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair - ew - and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so." <br /><br />5. What are the names of three characters in your WiP?<br />Friday (main character), Craig (love interest), Lycus (bad dude)<br /><br />6. Salt or sugar?<br />Sugar! I have a major sweet tooth.<br /><br />7. What is the title of your WiP?<br />Forever Friday<br /><br />8. How are you like your main character in your WiP?<br />I'm sarcastic, like Friday. And I love horses. She's WAY cooler than I was in high school, though. Or now, come to think of it.<br /><br />9. Dialogue or action scenes?<br />Dialogue probably comes more naturally.<br /><br />10. How many WiPs have you started?<br />I have five completed novels, and about six that I started and never finished.<br /><br />11. Do you have a favorite joke? Please share :)<br />My grandpa is always telling jokes, and this is one of my favorites. It's a little long so I apologize!<br /><br />The Americans and Russians at the height of the arms race<br />realized that if they continued in the usual manner they<br />were going to blow up the whole world.<br /><br />One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole<br />dispute with one dog fight. They would have five years to<br />breed the best fighting dog in the world and which ever<br />side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world. The<br />losing side would have to lay down its arms.<br /><br />The Russians found the biggest meanest Doberman and<br />Rottweiler females in the world and bred them with the<br />biggest meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the<br />biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, killed his<br />siblings, and gave him all the milk.<br /><br />They used steroids and trainers and after five years came up<br />with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen.<br /><br />Its cage needed steel bars that were five inches thick and<br />nobody could get near it.<br /><br />When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up<br />with a strange animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund.<br /><br />Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew<br />there was no way that this dog could possibly last ten<br />seconds with the Russian dog.<br /><br />When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of<br />it's cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian dog.<br /><br />The Russian dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and<br />charged the American dachshund. But, when it got close<br />enough to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund opened<br />it's mouth and consumed the Russian dog in one bite.<br /><br />There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.<br /><br />The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in<br />disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have<br />happened. We had our best people working for five years<br />with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler females in the<br />world and the biggest meanest Siberian wolves."<br /><br />"That's nothing", an American replied. "We had our best<br />plastic surgeons working for five years to make an alligator<br />look like a Dachshund.Mara Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372451891082436090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531324919089791378.post-9903876239886996752012-02-17T04:15:46.836-08:002012-02-17T04:15:46.836-08:00Haha, great answers!
