The Writer Tag

Did you guys even know I was an Author? I very rarely talk about it in here, so when i was watching a Kim Chance video, I looked at the questions and thought, Hey! This would make for a good blog post! Here it is!

Writer Tag Questions

1. What do you eat or drink while writing? 

I usually don't eat while writing, if I do I'll have like some coin chocolates or something like that, i love a warm Milo or Coffee when I'm writing and I always have a bottle of water next to me.

2. What do you listen to while writing? 

hmm, usually my spotify playlist, some Thirty Seconds To Mars or Avenged Sevenfold, Kelly Clarkson is a frequent as well as slipknot!!

3. What is your biggest writing distraction? 

The Internet 100%

4. What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you while writing?

I dont know, can bad stuff happen to you when you're writing? I guess, not saving or computer crashes or, spiders on the wall next to me, or humans interrupting

5. What's the best thing that ever happened to you while writing?

finishing the novels? and just escaping, i know it happens to every writer but when i really truly escape, it helps me so much.

6. Who you communicate with or not communicate with while writing? 

Preferably no one, but i am pretty good at holding a conversation on the interwebs and writing.

7. What your secret to success and your biggest writing flaw?

I dont know if i am really 'successful' enough to answer this but in my opinion, the secret to success is simply to believe in yourself and your characters, together you're magic. My biggest writing flaw is not researching, research will kill me, i fear it.

8. What inspires you? Or what makes you productive?

Two things the first one is the knowledge that if i work hard on these stories that they will become something amazing, the second one is story idea's if i got an idea for the story nothing will stop me.

9. What is one thing you do or other writers do that's annoying?

I dont really know what other writers do that annoys me, I kinda get annoyed when celebrities who start out with no interest to write end up penning shit novels that earn them tonnes of money. Like if you start out as an actor but have always dreamed of being an Author that's fine, but if you go on some reality show as or somethi- . . . okay I am ranting. . . I'll stop, y'all get the point!

10. Are you willing to share something you've written?

hmm. . . I have to short stories published here and here which i am very proud of.

And if thats not enough I'll give you a small snippet of my novel Stand Tall, They'll Break Your Heart that I am currently revising. 

It was then I realised that all good things will come to and end, nothing ever stays the same, I had to remember to stand tall, or they would keep on breaking my heart.

My Favourite Christmas Songs!

I'm doing my very best to be festive this year, as I have failed at it for a very very long time, now. I dont know if it's working but you know what? Its getting me in a good blog posting habit. Over the years we've all collected our favourite Christmas tunes, this my friends, is my list! And as always, It's going to be a list of eight

1. Silent Night by Michael Buble: 

This has always been a personal favourite Christmas Tune of mine, It's just such a pretty song, and well lets face it, everything by Michael Buble is pretty! Especially his face!

2. Last Christmas by Wham

Some songs, just do not need explanations, like this one!

3. Jingle Bell Rock By Bobby Helms!

Who does not like this song? Amazing song! So groovy! Did I just say 'groovy?' ughhh I'm getting old! LOL!

4. White Christmas By Johnny Ruffo!

This song is high on my list because one of my dreams before I die is to experience a white Christmas, where I'm from, Australia it's summer in December so it's always hot and sticky, I'd love to be cold at this time of year maybe I'd enjoy it a lot more? Also, This version is by a really talented singer who doesn't get enough credit, give it a listen and show him some love!

5. Run Run Rudolph By Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarckson is beautiful, and so is this version of Run Run Rudolph! That's why it gets number six on my list!

6. All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey. 

I dont think any modern Christmas song list would be complete with out this little number, Mariah Caray, love her or hate her, she's a brilliant singer and Christmas isnt Christmas unless you get annoyed by this song, still! It is wonderful!

7. Have your self a Merry Little Christmas by Michael Buble: 
If you're wondering why Michael Buble got in here twice it's because it's Michael Buble, who else would we want in our ears at Christmas, not to mention, this song is perfection!

8. War Is Over By Bert McCracken and the Street drum Corps.

So Bert McCracken might not be every body's cup of tea but back in my younger days, he was most definitely mine. I'll never argue against his talent and i think in this rendition of Merry Xmas (War is Over) it comes across so well, I've hear probably hundreds of versions of this song, and this has always stuck as my favourite Christmas song.  (sorry the song isnt available on Spotify!)
