Literary Meme
There’s always time for a meme!
* What was the last story you read?
I’m almost done with Seven Days in Benevolence by Steven Wedel.
* What was the last poem you read?
“The Passing Bell” by Sophia Ahnikalish Schwan
* What was the last comic you read?
Garfield
* What was the last movie you watched?
Knocked Up. It wasn’t as funny as people made it out to be, and I didn’t like the two lead female characters. I did like Seth Rogan’s character though.
* What song are you listening to now? Say something about it–what it means to you, who introduced you to it, something like that.
I’m not actually. I have Dr. Phil on. I know, I know.. but I find that talk shows and court shows are good studies for character building and dialog.
* What’s your guilty-reading pleasure?
It depends on which community I’m talking to at the time. I love dark and tragic stories, but sometimes when I’ve had too much dark and tragic I love a paranormal romance, especially if it’s erotic to lighten things up.
* Say something about the last poem you wrote!
I like it. It’s been forever since I wrote it, but I like it.
* Say something about a story you’re writing now!
I am in the middle of a short story and a novel. The novel is a significant (ie total textual) rewrite of my first ever novel, which I still feel has merit. It’s the dark tale of a werewolf pack and now not everyone dies at the end 😉 The short story is a dark sf tale. I think it’s sort of Heinlein-ish. It centers around a business where you can pay to fulfill your murderous fantasies.
* If you were a fictional character, who would be writing you?
Charlaine Harris. I feel like and ordinary person in a magical world, but not really part of it. Her stories pretty much encompass my opinion of my life.
* Last story you recommended to someone?
Do reviews count as recommendations? Outside of that technically it was Bad Candy House by Jeff Strand. I recommended a peer listen to Jeff reading it to help her read her own work.
* And a link to your favorite magazine, because they probably need your help. 😉
* Lastly, link to a friend’s copy of this quiz!
