Answers To the Q&A! (Part 4)

Only two parts left to this Q&A! *smiles* It's been a lot of fun; we'll have to do it again sometime soon (maybe a 2021 edition or something?). Thank you, Laura, Elate, Jemima, and Emma for asking the following questions. They're amazing!

Does your family have any pets/animals? Yes, we have a hamster named Harmony. =)

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Honestly, I'd stay where I'm at right now. Besides being born and raised here, I'm close to many of my relatives. Most importantly, God chose this specific location long ago to place me in. :)

What is one book you will NEVER read again? Wow, like that emphasis on "never." XD I'd have to say my answer to this question would probably be Grace Unplugged by Melody Carson, or perhaps Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. 

What is a dream you had as a little girl? (Like around 5 or 6 years old) Eeks, I had SO many dreams at that age. I often imagined myself nursing patients (I think every little kid's dream is to become a doctor), meeting my favorite princess (Cinderella), and catching imaginary fairies in small cages. I would spread my arms out and skip all around the room as I daydreamed, earning the nickname from my parents that sticks to this day: their little butterfly. :D

Do you have any celebrities you wish you could meet? Unless Lucille Ball or Don Knotts is considered a celebrity, then no, I don't think I do.

Do you like playing cards? Sometimes, yes. I like the games thirty-one and bologna. :)

What is one out-of-the-ordinary animal that you like? (E.G. not a dog or cat) Hmm, probably a penguin. :D

What is one tip you would give about how NOT to do creative writing? Wow! Didn't see this one coming. *scratches head* Difficult question, indeed. I think most authors are looking for how to do creative writing, not how not to do it. I guess . . . hmm . . . maybe . . . . I don't know. XD

What is the book or movie character you identify most with? Again, not sure. ;) Maybe Melinda Carter? 

What Christian song do you feel has the most needed and meaningful message for today? "Oh My Soul" by Casting Crowns.

Who is your favorite classic author? (Like C.S. Lewis, Charles Dickens . . .) Probably Martha Finley.

What is a keyword in your current writing project? (forgiveness, love, etc.) Hope.

What's your favorite movie? "The Apple Dumpling Gang." :)

If you couldn't be a writer/editor, what passion would you pursue? English teacher, mom, and best friend. :)

Why do you like music, specifically? Music does wonders for the soul. I'm kinda a nervous person who also can't stand having complete silence. I need something, and my music is the perfect go-to. Organized, uplifting, and always pointing me back to Christ. Ahhh . . . 

ASSUMPTIONS:

You share a bedroom with your sister. Nope, I have my very own room! :)

You like to write fiction. Absolutely!!!!!!!!!! <3

You play the piano. (Ok, that is a pretty safe guess because most homeschoolers do! :D) Well, sorry to disappoint you, Jemima, but I'm one of those homeschoolers who does not play the piano. XD

You don't like Disney songs. Some Disney songs are okay, but yes, I prefer listening to my playlist by writers/singers like Casting Crowns, The Afters, MercyMe, etc. 

And . . . it's a wrap!! Tomorrow I'll be replying to the final batch of questions, so be sure to check back! <3

Blessings,

Ellen S.
