Author Quickie with...Tory Gates
NOTE:
These are the most random Qs I could find and come up with, but it is to show readers how authors are just like them or maybe so different that they are their own species. I have several awesome authors already lined up, but don't let it scare you to take part though. I'll be sharing with you all; the answers to the set questions and introduce you to some awesome people, and later, all of this will be used in a statistical type blog. Hopefully, we can keep this going for as long as possible and gain as many author's inputs to make this thing grow.
But it doesn't stop there:
~If you are an author who is interested in taking part in this silly game of mine; message, email or find me on a social network.
~If you are a reader and wanna take part; do the same and become part of the fun. (It'll be really cool to have your stats as well.)
~If you are none of the above...ag, shame. Anyway, if you are an artist, a doctor, a barista or just randomly ended up here; bring it on and we can have a little fun when the stats have grown.
Tory Gates
Morning person or night owl?
Night Owl!
Coffee, tea or neither?
Coffee, almost always.
EBooks or printed books?
Printed.
Bookmark or dog-ear pages?
Bookmarks; I keep rediscovering ones that I picked up 30 years ago, tucked into places I don’t remember putting them.
Extrovert or Introvert?
I am both. I am largely introverted, especially when I’m working on a project of any kind. Then, I have bursts of the exact opposite.
Secret talents? If so, what are they?
Creating a universe on Earth, that no one else can see but me. ;-)
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
The ability to dope slap people over the Internet!
What is your biggest fear?
Moving. I haven’t in years, because I abhor boxing up my entire life and hauling it somewhere else.
You have three wishes, what are they?
1. To be able to write, and not do anything else unless I want to.
2. To meet some of the characters I created in real life, to find out if I got them right.
3. I’m not telling #3.
If you could forever break one habit, what would it be?
To be able to slow down, seriously.
