1. What's your current favorite word?
How about a word I currently despise instead: trending - I am so sick of that word!!!
2. In one word, what inspires you?
Other writers (okay, that's two words)
3. What's one word that describes your writing habits?
Daily!
4. What's one word that you wish you could get rid of in your writing?
Was/is
5. What's one word that describes your writing desk?
Messy!
6. Share the best writing advice/tool/quote that helps you. (please limit to one sentence)
Practice - because practice makes pretty good :)
7. What's your current project? (this is the one where you can write a bit more)
My current projects is a YA Paranormal called Peace and Forgiveness in which two high school students discover that one of them is an angel, one of them is a demon, and they are both being punished for something they don't remember - yet. And it isn't what you think.
West of Paradise blurb:
Katherine Kennedy has it all; she’s beautiful, she’s
wealthy, and she’s engaged to the perfect man: Antonio D'Salvatore. There’s just one problem. She can’t marry him.
Worse yet, she has no idea why. All she knows is there is suddenly nothing she
wants, not Antonio, or any of the other hundred thousand things money can buy.
Jack McCabe comes home from the war with a pretty medal and
a lot of ugly pictures in his head. He has little in the way of possessions,
less in the way of wealth, nowhere to go and no one to go anywhere with. All he
has is a vague sense of discontent, a restlessness that will not abate.
Separately, they are drawn to Paradise Tours on the
privately owned Cristobel Island. There they meet Louis Cade, a man who offers
them the unimaginable, something neither can quite believe until they actually
find themselves over 125 years in the past, 1881 to be exact.
For Jack McCabe it’s the adventure he always dreamed of –
until he meets a beautiful but deadly train robber. Katherine
can't believe an ignorant bounty hunter has mistaken her for a criminal –
until she sees the picture, which looks exactly like her.
Set in the old west, this is a tale of mistaken identity,
romance, and murder.
Available for Amazon Kindle!

I'm with you on the word "trending." And I love the idea of practice NOT making perfect but making pretty good. Much less pressure that way. :)
Never worry about trending, because it's always changing anyway! Great interview, ladies.
I like your blog. Very inspirational and reminds me that there's others out there that still care, though I know there's many...it's good to see it on your site!
Great interview, most enjoyable.
Yvonne.
My feeling is we can't be perfect, but we can definitely be pretty good :)
Thanks for stopping by, Alex :)
Tyrean has a fabulous blog! Thanks for coming by!
Thank-you and I'm glad you enjoyed :)
can't wait for Marcy's book! These one word interviews are refreshing!
Hmm, well, Marcy is not very good at sticking to one word. Which is good, because how would you ever write a novel that way? :P
And congrats on the novel, Marcy! Very exciting to see it out in the world. :)
Awesome interview. And I need to get rid of was/is too. Congrats to Marcy. Her novel sounds fantastic.
What a neat and to the point interview. I rather enjoyed this. Loved your answers, Marcy, especially about practicing.
I don't like trending either. Love the interview format.
I concur!
Hey, considering that the first book of my unfinished trilogy came in at 219,000 words I think I've done quite well today, lol.
Thanks for visiting, Natalie :)
I love this idea.
Isn't it great? I loved the questions, too; they were fun :)
I agree- I'll bet trending is on next years list of "words that should be removed from the language."
Thanks, Marcy! I'm not fond of the word "trending" either. I don't think that popularity should be in verb format.
Thanks, Natalie! Glad you enjoyed it! And many congrats to Marcy!
Wow! 219,000 words! I think you did great today, Marcy!
I'd be happy to see it go.
This was a neat and fun idea. I agree about the was words.
Has anyone ever been able to answer all the one-word-answer questions with one word? Just wondering?
Actually, there have been one or two people that have managed it - it's kind of amazing! Marcy did a great job too!
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, the "was" words are tough.
Yes and yes!
Yeah, sorry, I'm a bit of a rule breaker but I try not to go too far... :)
Oh, and may I just add an absolutely huge thank-you to Tyrean for inviting me over. This was fun!
Fun times! I was expecting the question and answer to each consist of one word, though :P
Yeah, sorry. Must be the writer in me...
Wow! Thanks Candice and Marcy!!!
Ha! What witty responses! I love the one-word interview concept :)
That was a lot of words for a one word interview. Love the premise of your book, Marcy.
Hugs and chocolate!
Shelly
Each question gets a one word answer, except the last two, and then I like to add the book blurb for the author as well, so they get a chance to show their material to the world. :) With the short interview, I hope that readers will stick around for the book blurb.
Glad you like Marcy's premise! I do too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks! I love Marcy's classes!
Well . . . I haven't figured out how to ask questions with just one word. Maybe eventually I will. I like Marcy's answers!
Thank you for coming, Marcy!!! I had fun too. :)
Thanks Shelley; it was fun to write, too!
I agree; the one word answers are great - I think I got two out of five, and really, three if you count most of answer #1 as a qualifier...
I don't like "trendy" or "viral."
Great cover and I like the description.
Love the one-word interviews! All best with WEST OF PARADISE; the premise is great.
Great interview with Marcy. I also hate trending!
