Q & A Time

In five hours I'm hopping in a car and driving 8.5 hours to Atlanta to watch some football (GEAUX TIGERS!) and visit with friends for the long weekend, so I haven't really had time to come up with any deep meaningful posts to fill the void while I'm gone.  I did have an idea though.

I've really enjoyed posts from my fellow bloggers where they solicited questions from their followers and then turn around and answered them on their blog.  So, why not, I thought to myself.  Then myself answered by pointing out that this could be an EPIC fail if I only get a single question...from my wife...wondering when I was going to get around to mowing the grass.  Again myself pointed out that I should quit being a wimp and stop basing decisions on whether or not the idea will be well received or not.

Myself won out, so here's how this is going to work (always got to have a twist).  Post your questions for me in the comments.  You can ask as many as you want and don't be shy in coming up with the questions either...I can take it.  Go ahead...I dare you to try and embarrass me! :P  In a couple days I'll post all of the questions and have everybody pick their top five. Once I tabulate those votes, the five with the most will be answered first. 

Okay...it's up to you now.  Let's see what you got for me?

  1. Fun!! Okay, here goes:

    1. How much of yourself goes into your main characters?

    2. Have you based a character on your wife, and if so, does she know about it?

    3. Plain or Peanut?

    Can't wait for Saturday! Drive safe :D

  2. LOL! Epic fail if only your wife asks Qs... As if that would happen.

    I'll ask you the same one I asked Jen: Which superpower and why--invisible or flying.

    GEAUX!

  3. So here's my question: why are a team from LA and a team from NC meeting up in GA? Just another reason I don't get football...

  4. Hmmmm. A question. Ok - How do you really feel about blogging? Do you love every minute of it, do you feel like it's a popularity contest? Do you think it takes up a lot of time? Do you enjoy meeting new people?

    Ok, so I realize that's about 5 questions, but it's all rolled up into the first one :)

  5. Why the obsession to find bloggers in every state and country?

    And I want to know when you're going to mow the lawn, too.

  8. Hi,

    Imagine Planet Earth is approaching meltdown and your family has been selected to take flight on a space escape plan

    Bearing in mind you can only take one backpack each and one item for a cargo hold, what do you hold most dear to your heart and would have to take with you?

    The answer will say more about you than you'll ever know!

    Have a great footballing day!
    best

  9. My question - why on earth would you want to drive in Atlanta? Yes, you're devoted fan, and I'm sure hordes of UNC fans will be streaming from NC this weekend on the same quest. But I've been to Atlanta. Why????

    Sorry, eight lanes of traffic going both directions at a standstill just gets to me...

  11. Hmm, let's see. 8.5 hours to Atlanta, you can't be for Clemson. Auburn is too close too ... You must be ... an LSU fan? Chik-Fil-A kickoff game? Georgia dome?

  17. I've considered doing a Q & A before, but haven't for the same reasons--what if no one asks any (good) questions.

    Other people might know this, but I don't so here goes:

    What kind of books do you write?

    Where are you at in the publishing process?

  21. Bruce Springsteen decides to retire. He will give a single farewell concert in a venue that seats one hundred people. Tickets aren't to be purchased, but earned through the most creative expression of fan appreciation.

    How will you convince the Boss to let past the velvet rope?

  22. I'm about to scold myself for sloppy editing (we have family coming in from New England tomorrow, and my mind is cloudy from a week of Making the House Look Perfect, Somewhat But Not Really Like a Hotel).

    There should be a "you" after "let" in my above comment.

  23. Question: Okay, so, the world's about to be destroyed, and you have to seek asylum in outer space and can only bring one item with you. What do you bring?
