Values,
Characteristics, and Beliefs (pgs. 46-47)
1. What
are you passionate about?
Most of my passions revolve around
families. I think every child should have a family they belong to. I think
everything should be done to keep a family intact. I also know that the
policies in most human service departments regarding child and families are
horribly broken and need to be rebuilt from the ground up. It has become very
political and is not in the best interest of the family as it claims to be. It
is a cover our asses and pay our people the least we can, while underfunding
every program available business. An underpaid and overworked population of
people who love what they do regardless of the red tape.
2. What
gives you energy and motivates you?
Fixing things and helping others to fix
things in their lives in order to be successful. It makes me feel as though I
have a purpose. I also love a good righteous fight, whether the rules get broke
or not don’t matter near as much as people treating each other the way they ought to.
3. What
keeps showing up again and again in your stories or the stories you love to
read?
Just going to make a list because this
could take a while:
·
Adoption
·
Children needing guidance
·
Parents needing guidance, or learning to parent
well.
·
Fighting “the System” in a very passive
aggressive way.
·
Romance and long term relationships
·
Family
·
Development
·
Trauma recovery
·
Humor
·
Emotion
·
Police/Detective work
·
True Crime
·
The super-natural (i.e. ghosts, spirits,
communicating with the dead)
Values,
Characteristics, and Beliefs Pt.2 (pgs. 47-48)
1. What
is important to you creatively? Do you want to educate? Entertain? Scare?
I think most of all I want to entertain. I
love getting lost in a world that only exists on paper wrapped up in a warm
blanket in my favorite seat in the house at the time. I want to provide that
for my reader. At the same time I want to educate people about how broken the
system truly is.
2. Do
you have a personal cause or agenda that defines you? (Feminism? Animal Rescue?
Global Warming?)
Family Law and legislation re: Children and
Families
3. What
types of books do you enjoy? Movies? Music?
I love books that come in a long series, I
hate when a series ends; I always have questions about things that happened. I
love books that make me laugh out loud, as well as ones that make me shake my
head and shed a tear. I like reading about people I can relate to, or could
have related to at some point in my life. Movies…I like movies that make me
think or rethink a topic. I love comedy/action and romantic comedy. I like
drama and supernatural drama movies, movies based on true stories and stories
about serial killers. A wide range really. Same with music, my writing play
lists contains Country, punk, popular rock, 80’s hair band rock, and 80’s pop,
punk cover bands. My musical interests run the gamut.
4. What
types of stories did you like as a child?
When I was really young I liked Babaar and
Curious George, a few years down the road, as a tween and young teenager, it
became Judy Blume, then I jumped to VC Andrews and Jackie Collins when I was in
my later teens.
