My Answers to D.G. Hudson:

3 -
Do you like film noir?
Yes. Citizen Kane is one of my favorite ones.

Do you pick male or female protagonists the most when you write?
I think I pick them equally. It depends on the mood or the storyline.

Which female actor in LOTR would you want to be if offered a part in the movie?
Neither. I'm not a fan of The Lord of the Rings. I don't dislike the film, it's just not my cup of tea.

None. I usually don't eat or drink while I'm writing.

No, only when I'm editing.

  1. Thank you for tagging me, Claudia. I must admit to being somewhat nervous about this, but hey, I'm game for a laugh. :)

    One point I would like to make, I notice the questions are 'closed' in their wording, so anyone answering them could easily answer with a plain 'yes' or 'no' - which I admit would be rather uninformative. Is this intentional? Just making sure so that when I set up my questions I'll be following the correct protocol.

    Looking forward to setting this up :) By the way, can you tag someone who has already been tagged? So if I wished to tag you, could I? God, I feel so much like a noob asking, but I need to know.

    Thanks once more, Claudia :)

    1. Apologies. I need to correct what I said regarding 'closed questions' - it would appear I was saying all were closed, but in fact I should have pointed out that only half were. Forgive me for that.

  6. Don't eat or drink while you're writing? What!!!!. Haven't you heard of procrastination?

    Mind, like you I can't write with sound eg music. Problem of a mono-mind
