Congratulations to our Mommy of the Week, Authra! 

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!
  

What is your name?


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? 


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?
