Are you a ‘plotter’ or a ‘pantser?’
I’m a linear pantser. I have a one sentence idea. I sit down and write and see what happens. This drives my husband crazy, by the way. He always asks me what I’m writing about. I tell him the truth. I’ll have no idea until it’s done.
What’s your favorite dessert?
Apple Pie. I don’t think any others are worth my time. Okay, I’ll eat chocolate chip cookies if given half a chance.
What do you do in your spare time?
First, I procrastinate. Writing is hard. Procrastination is easy. I do like to hike, bike, and knit sweaters. Yes, I know that it’s rarely cold enough to wear sweaters in Southern California.
What is your favorite television program?
So, I’ll have to tell you I don’t watch TV. When I moved to my current house about eight years ago, I could only get one or two channels. After TV went digital, my reception died. I haven’t looked back. I am, however, addicted to Korean Dramas which I watch on DVD.
You will never see me:
in a dress. Ok, maybe you will once every ten years or so. I hate dresses. I never feel comfortable. In my humble opinion, pant suits were the greatest invention ever.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Wow, these are probably too numerous to count. Here’s one: my college boyfriend dumped me for another girl (a flag waver in the marching band). One early Saturday morning I was riding my bicycle to the library and I passed them along the way. I was so shocked to see them canoodling about five seconds after our breakup that I leaned into a curve badly, and fell off my bike. No, they didn’t stop to help.
