Writing is my way of making sense out of the jumbled circus that is my mind. It helps me sleep.
Quirky and Not-So-Quirky Quirks:
I don’t like to be called “Honey” unless it’s by a grandmotherly sort… and I am delirious with fever or doped up on pain meds (for pain, yes). It doesn’t bother me so much then.
I blush when I’m in a confrontation. It’s not so much that I mind confrontation. In fact, I like to argue about relevant things when I think it might lead to having a better understanding between me and someone I care about.
I care a lot about a lot of people. In life, people remain; yet, situations and circumstances constantly change around us.
When I find some new thing that I like, I get obsessed. Then I burn out. Do you do that, too?
I like for things to be completed, but I don’t like finishing things. Finishing a project makes me kind of sad and scared.
I’m shy, but opinionated.
While I certainly don’t prefer it all the time, I like to retreat into the stories I create. It’s fun to watch the characters interact in my mind. Generally, when I’m writing, I’m a bystander recording what I see. If I’m in the zone, I don’t have to tell my characters, “That was awkward. Try that again.” I really hate to tell my characters that, especially in a romantic scene. They get pretty frustrated. Not that they argue with me… much.
I had a comma addiction; now I have a semicolon addiction.
And, most importantly, I don’t like feet. They aren't pretty, no matter how hard a person tries to dress them up.
