The Blue Sky Tag

I’ve been tagged by another young writer, Tessa Megan, to participate in the Blue Sky Tag!

The rules are pretty simple:

• Thank the person who tagged you
• Answer their 11 questions
• Tag 11 people
• Give them 11 questions to answer

 

Tessa’s Questions:

Do you have any imaginary friends?

Nope.  My real friends keep me busy enough. 😀

 

Have you ever been to the beach or would like to go?

I love going to the beach!  I have mostly been to man-made beaches, but would love to spend more time near the ocean.

 

Have you ever entered a writing contest?

I’ve entered in a few small ones where I knew I had a chance.  Most of the significant contests I’ve come across seem like too much stress when the odds of actually winning are so slim.

 

If possible would you go into writing as a career or will it just be a hobby for you?

I think it’ll just be a hobby.  For more on that subject, click here.

 

 Do you like to sing?

I love to sing, not that I’m very good at it. 😛

 

Do you listen to music while you write?

Yes!  Some of my favorite songs to listen to are from anime soundtracks, even ones for series I’ve never seen.  I’ve been posting a series of songs I enjoy listening to as I write, under the tag The Writer’s Jukebox.

 

What book(s) have you recently read?

• The Books of Umber series by P.W. Catanese – I highly recommend this series if you like fantasy and science fiction.
• Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke, but I couldn’t finish it; I skipped a lot of the middle and read the last few chapters so at least I’d know where my favorite characters ended up.
• The City of Ember by Jeanette DuPrau

 

Do you like country music?

Does Johnny Cash count?  I haven’t heard enough to say I like or dislike the genre.  Any recommendations? 🙂

 

What’s your favorite movie?

At the moment, it’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.  I love the entire Star Wars film franchise, though – from the original six, I can’t pick just one.

 

 Have you read A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley or heard of it?

I’ve never read it, but now that I’ve researched it, I have heard Saroo’s story before in a video about Google Earth.  What an amazing course of events – I’ll definitely look for this book next time I’m at the library.

 

 Do you watch or read the news?

Yes, but I take all the information with a grain of salt.  I don’t know which outlets to believe anymore – there’s so much dishonesty and bias. It’s sad.
