Congratulations to our Mommy of the Week, theveryboredone!
To our special mother, feel free to answer as much or as little as you wish. (Come on, you know you want to write a novel, so here is your chance!)
If there are any questions that you feel uncomfortable answering just leave those blank. This activity is meant to be fun for everyone and will hopefully bring our group closer as writers and friends.
Everyone is welcome to ask questions, whether writing related or life in general questions.
Here are some to get us started!

Were you born with the "write stuff" or did you acquire it?
What is your earliest memory of being a writer? What did you write?
Are you drawn to a certain type of writing?
What inspires you?
Do you have a mentor or an author that has influenced you?
Where and what do you use to write?
What would be your ultimate dream come true as a writer?
What are you working on now?

Well first of all thank you and next here are the answers.
My name is Alyssa Ast- www.alyssa-ast.vpweb.com
I was born with a love of fiction writing but acquired freelance writing web content
I discovered I had a gift for writing in the 5th grade after completing an assignment. It was voted best in the 5th grade. Everyone always told me I had a gift for writing but I never believed them. About a year back I submitted 2 poems for publication just being curious and they were both published. I quess writing has always been a dream, I was just never brave enough to follow it.
I love writing anything I am passionate about. And I have a lot of passions.
A lot inspires me. Different things insire me to write different genre's. Nature and my children normally inspire me to write poetry. Current events and stuff inspire me for my freelance work. There are just too many to list.
For freelance writing Angela Atkinson got me started and supported me.
When I am working on my freelance work I use my laptop in the living room so I can chase the kids. When my creative side pokes through, I take a note book and site outside
My dream as a freelance writer is to make editor. For print I hope to make it into newspapers, publish books and just be a successful writer.
Wow lol currently I have 5 books underway. I have just started freelance photography, I work for 16 different online companies, run a freelance writer information site, and blogging in my spare time. I run a small writers group, mentor fellow writers in becoming a freelance writer, and am co writing a book.
Do you have a harder time with writer's block or with having an over abundance of inspiration?
Do you have a guilty pleasure?
If your life was in book form what would the title be? What would be on the book cover for a synopsis? What type of book would it be?
What five words describe you best?
Do you have any pets?
If you were a fruit what would you be and why?
What do you do for "me" time?
If you could only read one book, other than the bible, for the rest of your life what would it be?
Who is your best friend and why?
What superpower would you like to have and why?
If you could invite three famous people to dinner (living or dead) who would they be and why?

1. Um I never really have a problem with writers block. I have a problem with taking on too many new projects and overwhelming myself. Thats normally when I unplug the computer for a few days to relax.
2. My guilty pleasure whould have to be chocolate..yum
3. Actually my life does have a book that I am almost finished with "Reflections of a Lost Soul" and I dont have a synopsis yet. It is about the journeys I have been through in life. How all the pain I went through in my childhood formed who I am today and the changes I have made. I am also writing another one about being a teenage mom and the stereotypes that go along with it.
4. Stubborn, determined, intelligent, passionate, adventerous
5. I have a 3 month old puppy, 2 birds, and some fish
6. Wow great question lol. Um.....A grapefruit...some people like them and some people dont.
7. lol I havent had me time since my kids were born. But I can occasionaly hide in the bed room for a few minutes to play the guitar.
8. Pappilion
9. I have been best friends with her since we were 2. Going on 20 years now. She is just a great person and is the only one that understands me.
10. Invisibility- I like to observe situations and note human behaviors. If I was invisible I could view peoples reactions better.
11. Bob Hope, I cried when he died. Anne Frank and Ghandi I just think they are very inspirational people. Bob Hope is my favorite comedian.
