I have been tagged by My Pen and Me (Thanks, Mary Ann! I love reading and writing these) and in turn, I will pay it forward and keep the tag going. Does this count towards my “one-post-per-day” goal? Yes, I think it does…
The Rules
1. I must post the rules.
2. I must answer the questions the tagger listed for me
3. I must create (or reuse) 11 questions for those I tag.
4. I must tag 11 people.
5. I must let them know they’ve been tagged.
My questions and answers:
1. What types of things do you do for inspiration?
I read, read, and read some more. Sometimes music inspires me, other times poetry and prose. Other times, inspiration just springs forth and I’m consumed with an idea that I have to write so that my mind will rest.
2. Who is your favourite artist or recording artist?
I have many and it would probably do some kind of injustice if I could just pick one. Some of my favorites, though, are (in no certain order) The Beatles, Pearl Jam, Michael Card, John Michael Talbot, Tool, CCR, Lynard Skynard, Skillet, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Metallica, Korn, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, POD, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Duran Duran, Simply Red, Switchfoot, Queen, Michael W. Smith, Garth Brooks, George Strait, John Fruisciante, DC Talk, and many, many more…
(seems that I like a lot of artists named Michael…)
3. Who is your favourite poet or writer?
Again, too many to list only one: Oscar Wilde, Larry McMurtry, John Steinbeck, John Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Bukowski…
4. What animal do you most associate yourself with?
Dog. I’m always happy to see you, no matter how long you’ve been gone.
5. Name one of your goals in life.
To serve others…and to be published.
6. What is your favourite meal?
Breakfast
7. What would you like to tell the world?
On popular TV sitcom, the father said to his daughter, “The only time you should look into your neighbor’s bowl is to make sure they have enough.”
We are here to help one another. If we did less “taking for ourselves” and more “making sure others have what they need” the world would be better for it.
