Getting to know you...


I've only ever "met" most of you online, and even if we never get to see each other face to face, I'd love to learn a bit more about you! Take a minute to answer the following one-liners. (My answers are in italics.)

1. Coffee or tea? Coffee.

2. Indoors or outside? Outside.

3. Hot or cold? Hot.

4. Hugs or kisses? Kisses.

5. Morning or night? Morning.

6. Fiction or non-fiction? Fiction.

You can learn a lot about someone from just a few words! Did you get this from my answers? I'm a morning-lover (though my mornings don't begin before 6:30) who starts each day with a hot cup of dark roast, fair-trade Ethiopian coffee. I'd rather be outside in nearly any weather, and insist on having windows open (at least a crack!) even in the dead of winter. I like my summers hot, my food hot, and my coffee has to be, you guessed it, hot. Though I love to fold my boys in a hug, I can't keep my lips off of them to save my life. I'll kiss anything that comes my way, including but not limited to: extremities, fingers and toes, ears, foreheads, exposed necks, elbows, and even cheeks if I'm lucky enough to catch one. When the little ones are in bed, there's nothing I love to do more than read. And you're not likely to find non-fiction on my nightstand. I like stories. Even the non-fiction books I read are usually filled with story... Blue Like Jazz, Jesus for President, The Furious Longing of God, Velvet Elvis, Counterfeit Gods, you get the drift.

Your turn! What can I learn about you? :)

    I prefer dogs over cats and my favorite city is Seattle, Washington. Favorite place is the beach. I LOVE running and getting lost in a good fiction book, but most of all I LOVE conversations with my 'almost 4 year old' and cuddly moments with my very sick 2 year old.

  2. 1. Coffee or tea? Tea.

    2. Indoors or outside? It really depends on the weather. :)

    3. Hot or cold? Hot.

    4. Hugs or kisses? Kisses.

    5. Morning or night? Morning.

    6. Fiction or non-fiction? Fiction.

    If sweet tea counts, I have to take that route. I don't really like coffee. If you're talking about indoors or outdoors, I would much rather be indoors when I'm having to trudge halfway across campus in the cold. However, when the weather is nice (whether that be hot, warm, cool, or cold), I like being outside until it's either too sweaty-inducing or numbing for me to stand it.
    I love Hershey's Kisses! ;) Mornings are preferable for me. I love waking up to the sunrise and just the feeling of having whole day ahead of me (unless that day is filled with a bunch of stuff I'm not looking forward to), then I have to pick nights when I'll finally be home, in bed, and drifting off to sleep. And then I definitely have more fiction on my shelves than non-fiction (although, I do have some of that, too). Same as you, I love stories. :)

  4. Nicole,

    I keep meaning to ask you this. I've been meaning to for about a week now (I know - sad), but kept getting distracted every time I set out to ask you. Whenever you write, at what point in the writing process do you know the way your story will end? Before you begin writing? After your first draft? Just curious. I know you're probably not doing the whole "question-answer" thing anymore, but I've been wondering that for a while. Thanks!

    Lauren

  5. Thanks so much for sharing! I loved hearing from you. As for "cats or dogs" my answer is dogs. :) I don't hate cats, but I do prefer dogs.

    Lauren, as for your question, I'll answer it in tomorrow's post!
