Meme, Check In and Guest Post

Meme! I was tagged by J. L. Campbell!






If you could go back in time and relive one moment, what would it be? Ooh, that's a toughie. Let's say... St Patrick's Day Parade, 2002.

If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? I'd take back all the days I procrastinated on writing or editing.

What movie/tv character do you most resemble in personality? Hmm, you'd have to ask others for a proper answer. I keep thinking of Natalie Portman in Beautiful Girls.

If you could push one person off a cliff and get away with it, who would it be? I'd still have a hard time doing that to anyone, even if I could get away with it.

Name one habit you want to change in yourself. Knuckle cracking. Ick.

Describe yourself in one word. Introvert.

Describe the person who named you in this meme in one word. Vibrant!

Why do you blog? Answer in one sentence. I enjoy interacting with other writers and readers. Hi, all!

Who am I tagging? Whoever wants to play!


More exclamation points:

Thank you Justine for hosting a fab contest!

My guest post is up on the Turkish Muse!


And as for ROW80...

I had a great day off on Monday - finished my synopsis, rewrote my first five pages, sent off a book review... Still working my way through the square brackets and other desperately-need-editing bits of the novel, however. Hi ho, hi ho...

Oh I can't stand it when people crack their knuckles. It makes my hands hurt. :(

By the way, thanks for talking about ROW80. It sounds perfect for me. I'm going to get in on the next round.
Talli Roland said…
Aw, you're so nice, Deniz! You wouldn't push anyone off a cliff even if you could get away with it!
Jill W. said…
Oh, I'll play!

Congrats on having a successful Monday! Don't you just love days off? [g]

I'm a degenerate knuckle cracker. All my joints pop and crack like so much popcorn, anyway...sigh. Always have. Hearing other people do it doesn't bother me.

Don't know the first thing about ROW80, but it sounds like fun -- I'll have to look into it!

Yay for getting rid of square brackets!

Hi Deniz! I noticed on your reading list that you are working your way through Pilgrim's Progress. If you like the story, there was a modern take done on it entitled, The Edge Of Eternity that I would recommend. ~ Nadja

Hi Deniz!
Ooh, a knuckle cracker!

So, I see now that what I saw was done was your first draft. Congrats on that, anyway!

I might push Black Jack Randall off the cliff, am I allowed? It might really mess up giant chunks of Outlander...
Kate said…
I, too, would work harder to end my procrastination. Although, desperation can be quite motivating, which is where I'm at now. :)
J.L. Campbell said…
I do the knuckle-cracking thing too. Don't even know when I'm doing it sometimes.

Vibrant - never thought of myself that way. Thanks!

BTW - If you're into vampires and werewolves, I'm part of a giveaway hop where I'm giving away Hex Hall & Demonglass @ the Readers' Suite.

It sounds like you're in the editing stage. Me too, as of tonight. I'm not looking forward to it. :(

Good luck with your editing. Great meme, btw. Those are always fun! :0)

I don't think I could push anyone off a cliff either. Fun meme.

It's me trying to comment. I'm finding that most people's followers are missing from their blogs, but if they have a pop up for commenting I seem to be able to comment.
Deniz Bevan said…
It's awful Sarah, I'm trying to stop!

Thanks, Talli! I just couldn't do it.

Yes! My knees crack going up the stairs - and down stairs! Why?
And oh yes, you should definitely try ROW80 Jill - great for random goal setting.

Thanks Nadja, I hadn't known about that! I'm only a chapter or two from the end.

Thank you Cindy! And, hmm, you might try pushing BJR off, but Claire would come after you!
Deniz Bevan said…
Let's hear it for desperation, Kate!

Thanks for the giveaway notice, J. L.!

Good luck with your editing lauralyn!

Thanks Kari - head over to J. L.'s to see her answers, if you like.

Thanks for trying Zan Marie - I'm about to head over to everyone's blogs now. I do hope I can comment...

Can't push people off cliffs even in you imagination?
No wonder you find it hard to be mean to your characters!
Deniz Bevan said…
Exactly! Hmm, wonder if there's a course somewhere on "how to torture your creations"?
