I’ve been tagged* – thrice tagged – and therefore it has been decided by the Grand Post Master of This Blog (that would be me) to choose three questions from each tag and answer them in a satisfactory manner.
Because ‘thrice’ is my word this week.
*a large thank you to those who did so. Cake and goodness and sunshine is yours for the taking.
Behind the Scenes
[tagged by Annie Hawthorne over at Curious Wren]
Is there a certain snack you like to eat while writing?
Yes. White chocolate. But if I have a bar of this delectable stuff? The bar is soon gone. Less of a snack, more of a flash.
(And that sounded better in my head.)
When do you normally write? Night, afternoon, or morning?
Night. I’m struggling at the moment though. Treasure your writing time, my friends. It is precious.
What do you do to get into the mood to write?
By reciting the Greek alphabet. Backwards. Haha, no. Probably motivation – I have goals and I really want to achieve them. Also, guilt tripping. It works wonders. Most of the time that is – sometimes it’s easier to crash with a book and/or the internet.

What did dream occupation did you have as a child?
When asked, I would say I wanted to be a nurse. Occasionally, I was going to marry a bloke called Obadiah and have lots of twins and triplets. (It was the quickest way to world domination.) But most times, I was going to save the world and be super nonchalant and humble about it.
So far: a) isn’t for me, b) Oh-‘this is a bad idea’-iah and c) I saved a bee once.
If you decided to learn another language, what language would you choose?
Oh to be fluent in Japanese. Or all the languages. I CHOOSE ALL THE LANGUAGES!
If a new planet was discovered and you got to name it, what name would you choose?
Nigel.

Team Cap or Team Iron Man?
Team Cap alllll the way.
If you’re old enough to vote, who are you voting for and why?
I’m old (decrepit in fact) and am English … which means no voting in America. However, when I do vote in this sunny isle, it is for the lesser of two weevils.
What are three of your favourite movies?
The Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (‘Come sing low, come sing hiiiiggghhh!’), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Bucky!), Singing in the Rain (‘Moses supposes his toes’ are roses’) …. etc, etc … the list goes on.
Alas! This post, however, does not.
BUT FIRST! In the spirit of all true tags, here are three questions for you, dear reader:
// A spring walk or a summer’s day? //
// A stubbed toe or paper cut? //
// Spiders or moths? //
Tag. You’re it.
