Ten Questions-A Self-Interview

Rick Henry Christopher did a self-interview of himself and gave everyone the prompt to interview themselves as writers. I have decided to play along. You can read more about his prompt at the link below.

My interview is as follows:

What type of writer do you feel you are?

I am not the best writer, but not the worst writer. I am somewhere in between. I am mediocre. I have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of room

What type of writer do you not want to be?

I just want to be a writer who can entertain my readers while they read my works. I want readers to know that whatever I write will be something they will enjoy.

What do you like about yourself as a writer?

My ability to sit down and write anything that comes to my mind. Except for romance, I’m not that good at romance. But everything else I am pretty decent at.

What do you look for in other writers?

I am looking for other writers who can write a gripping tale. Who can draw me in from the first to the last word. Those who write from the heart. I especially have a soft spot for new writers. I can not stand a writer who is egotistical about their work.

What do you not like about yourself as a writer?

The fact that I struggle with romance. Even when I write just a small scene, it feels stiff. Romance doesn’t feel real to me when I write it.

Which writing genre or category do you feel is your best?

I write a pretty mean microfiction horror story, with a twist.

In which genre or category do you feel the most challenged?

Romance of any sort. I just have a hard time with that mushy stuff. Do people really act like that?

When did you first start writing?

My sisters and I used to write stories together as children.

Why do you write?

Because there is something inside of me that has to write.

This last question is off-topic. If you could be part of any television sitcom family, which one would it be and why?

So many to choose from. Supernatural would be a great one. So would Full House. But I'd say Mama's Family if I had to settle on just one. Vicki Lawernce reminds me of my grandma, and I feel I’d be the most at home in that sitcom. I’d even get along with Eunice. I’d laugh at her, but I’d still get along with her.
