My ten questions to answer.

1.Why did you blog?

I have written on a daily basis since I was a teenager. While writing can be a very solitary experience, blogging enables me to become part of a community. I enjoy reading the work of other writers and getting feedback on what I’ve written.

2.What is your favourite memory?

I guess I don’t have a specific favorite memory. I have many snippets from days gone by that make me smile. Most of these involve laughing with family.

3.Where is your favourite travelling destination?

I love Key West. If I could get on a plane this very moment and go, I would. It’s fun, relaxing, and a great place to people-watch.

4.What do you value most in life?

Peace and happiness. There are many things that are tied into that, but at the end of the day, that’s all I want.

5.If you were to die tomorrow, what would you like to do today?

I would be reading and writing on a beach in Key West

6.What was your childhood like?

My childhood was fabulous. I’m lucky to come from a big, loving family.

7.What is your dearest wish?

Again….peace and happiness.

8.What do you envision yourself doing in 5-year time?

I would love to be writing full-time.

9.What are your hobbies?

In addition to writing, I am a huge reader. I also paint and draw.

10.What would you do if you are trapped living under a brutal, oppressing regime?

I can’t imagine what that must be like. I’m sure there is much sadness and also great opportunities to grow in personal strength and perseverance.
