Q&A // Assumptions

Hiya, everybody!! Hope you guys are doing well and staying safe amidst all this COVID-19 craziness. A quick update: I had Special K for breakfast this morning, took a walk with several of my youngest sibs yesterday, and . . . oh yes! My collection of The Whispers God Gives author copies are due to arrive this afternoon, so I'm super excited about that. :D (And no, giveaway winners, I have not forgotten about you. Hang in there. Lord willing, you should be getting your prizes from me soon.) 
Okay, moving on . . .
Thanks to Caleigh, I've been inspired to do a Q&A post with my viewers. I've actually wanted to do this for a long time, and now, finally, it's happening! 
Feel free to comment below with any questions you might have for me to answer. They can be about blogging, my book, or life in general. However, please refrain from asking more personal questions like "how old are you?" and "when is your birthday?" as I will not reply to those. At the end of every comment, you can insert one assumption you have about me (or more than one if you'd like!). Here's an example:

Question(s):

1). What's your favorite color?

Assumption(s):

1). You don't like green beans, especially the canned kind. 

Sound fun? Let's do it! You have from now until next Thursday to respond to this post. Enjoy!

Blessings,

Ellen S.

    Another Q & A-er! This is hilarious, I am planning another Q+A for this month (I did one last May,). Here are my questions. Some of them might be too personal--everyone has a different definition of "personal"
    1. Do you have your own room?
    2. Are you in 11th grade? (Totally random guess.)
    3. Do you attend a small church?
    4. Do you like to bake? How about cook?
    5. Is your bookshelf overflowing yet?
    6. Is your house big?
    7. Have you been homeschooled all your life?
    8. Have you ever ridden a roller coaster?
    9. Are you wanting to go to college?
    10. What's your favorite book of the Bible?
    11. What denomination is your church?
    12. Do you like skirts or dresses better?
    13. When is the last time you've been to church?
    I should probably stop there.....
    Assumption: You don't drive yet.
    Again, I'm not sure if some of these are too personal and I won't be offended if you don't answer them. Just curious, could I leave more comments with assumptions 'cause you said at the end of every comment leave an assumption!

    4) Which Bible character (outside of Jesus :D) do you admire/want to be like the most?
