Author Quickie with...L.J.K. Oliva
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 on board, 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.
L.J.K. Oliva
Morning person or night owl?
Night owl by choice, morning person by necessity. I have a four-year-old who currently doesn't believe in sleeping later than 7am. It's a source of deep personal bereavement.
Coffee, tea or neither?
Both! Favorites: 1) light roast coffee with cinnamon and 2) a strong cup of Lapsang Suchong.
EBooks or printed books?
Again, both. It really depends on the book.
Bookmark or dog-ear pages?
Dog-ear. And god help the books I REALLY love; I underline things, scribble notes in the margins...it's horrific.
Extrovert or Introvert?
Sociable introvert. Shut up, it's totally a thing.
Secret talents? If so, what are they?
I sing. Like, not-badly. People always act shocked, which makes me wonder how abrasive my speaking voice must be...
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
Wine. That's a superpower, right?
What is your biggest fear?
That in my attempt to juggle writing and motherhood, I'll wind up not very good at either.
You have three wishes, what are they?
1. Telepathic writing software
2. Five minutes to go to the bathroom alone
3. Wine
If you could forever break one habit, what would it be?
Procrastination. Kills me every time.
