A wonderful gal named April over at the book blog Cafe of Dreams has blog tagged Katie & Kimble! That means that I have to play tag by answering a few little interview questions! Then I have to blog tag someone else! So, here are my answers and here are the bloggers I am tagging! I guess I'm it!1. Which words do you use too much in your writing?
Clearly, I use the words "clearly" and "clear" too often. It all became clear to me once I read over the first fiction I'd written.
2. Which words do you consider overused in stuff you read?
The phrase "and she did just that." I have used it in non-fiction, but it still drives me crazy.
3. What are your other favorite blogs?
Cafe of Dreams, a wonderful book blog by April, the imp who tagged me;
The Homeschool Messenger, great tips from a homeschooling mom named Susan (SusieQTpie)
The Kids Book Connection, a new kids' book review blog run by Cheryl (who also runs the Book Connection blog)
Happily Blended, a charming mom blog that always makes me laugh. Brandy is the mom of three--you should see her videos!
4. Name a favorite word:
midwifery--because I like that "whiff" sound
It comes from the word "midwife," which is a woman who helps a mom deliver her baby.
5. And a word you're not so keen on:
anesthesia--because I like to talk fast and that word is so hard to say that when I'm talking, I have to slow way down!
"Anesthesia" is a drug doctors give to people to put them to sleep before an operation.
6. What would you like to improve about your writing and/or blog?
I would love to have more kids ask me questions so I could answer them on the Katie & Kimble blog!
7. What’s your writing ambition?
I desire to write more and more Katie & Kimble books for years to come. I am always coming up with ideas for new stories.
There! Done! I now blog tag the following blogs / bloggers:
The Homeschool Messenger
The Kids Book Connection
Happily Blended
