7. What's your current project? (this is the one where you can write a bit more)
Currently I am nearing the end of the second book in The Legend of the Blade series. This has always been an exciting writing project - I've been planning the series for about five years - but getting to finally write it down has been even more exciting than I ever thought it would be.
Miss Jack Lewis Baillot is one of the most fun and inspiring bloggers I know. I love the words she's chosen, and I'm tempted to go blow something up in my current project . . . but I'm formatting, so that might not be wise. :)
Miss Jack has written and published Haphazardly Implausible, Abolished Impracticality, The Story Collection and a Stretch of Loyalty. Soon, she'll be releasing A Test of Loyalty! In addition to her talents in writing, Miss Jack has a talent for finding excellent quotes, and has a love of Sherlock, Psych, Captain America, fantasy, steampunk, and unlikely heroes! Check out her blog, However Improbable!
I'm with you on "seemed." And I love that quote! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Cherie!
DeleteBlow something up - great advice!
ReplyDeleteI like your one word.
And now I want to know what your desk looks like.
Ditto on all three of those thoughts, Alex!
DeleteIt is covered in books 8-D
DeleteLove that word. It reminds me of being dissed and dismissed.
ReplyDeleteBut not disassembled, right? Sorry. Just had to go with another dis- word. Thanks for stopping by, Maurice!
DeleteDismissed is fun too.
DeleteDiscombobulated sums up how I feel most of the time! Great interview!
ReplyDeleteSame for me too, I think that might be one reason I like it so much
DeleteI like the 'blow something up' advice. I feel discombobulated today.
ReplyDeleteI've been seriously wanting to blow up some of my grade sheets - but I will get done today, I hope.
DeleteWriting is always better when you can blow something up
DeleteIf you blow something up, would it be discombobulated?
ReplyDelete(Okay, I'm reaching.)
No, that was funny. :)
DeleteIt was when I did it 8-D
DeleteNice interview. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Lady Lilith!
DeleteThank you 8-)
DeleteBlow something up in the story. Yes. This works. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, and I keep picturing different ways to blow things up. Blowing up soap bubbles, balloon animals, and with CGI special affects. :)
DeleteIt does 8-D
DeleteDiscombobulated is such a great word! Stories often inspire me, too...
ReplyDeleteI always want to write after reading or watching a really good story
