4 :
1). I never eat when I write. Right now, I'm craving grape juice. 2). Fantasy! More specifically, epic fantasy. 3). Harry Potter all the way.....with Percy Jackson behind it. I can't stand Twilight and I've never read Artemis Fowl. 4). I don't know..... 5). My title's not finalized yet. 6). That's a hard question. My top favorites are Avatar, Harry Potter 5, Megamind, Inception, National Treasure, and Toy Story 3 as of now. Deathly Hallows will probably become my new favorite in a couple weeks. 7). I like Leonardo Dicaprio. He's amazing. 8). ? 9). My favorite character is probably my wizard in my fantasy story. He's a cool guy. 10). Meaningful? Ha! My story's kind of in pieces right now. 11). Fantasy/science fantasy 12). No.....Why, am I suppose to be?
5 :
1. Swedish Fish, Rice Krispie Treats and Coke. We have none of 'em at the house, so I'm craving all of them. 2. Thriller/mystery 3. Tie> Harry P and Percy J 4. I don't know... (Imma google the author you suggested later) 5. Don't have a title for it. So far it's 'Story I'm Writing'. 6. Harry P#5, Disturbia, Up or Wall-E. I love Wall-E. 7. Tom Welling or Ian Somerhadler. yum! 8. a new word- 'lasideboy- means weird lookin' girl'. 9. Mine is Heidi McGill: her story has more umph to it. She has more personality. 10. I'm a creative B*itch. State the real facts, or don't say anything at all. 11. I really don't know! I'm thinking realistic fiction... I gotta Google genre's really quick. 12. Kind of...
6 :
1. anything and everything. Alot of candy/sweets (I have a sweet tooth) :) luckily I have a fast metabolism or I'd be in trouble.... 2. Adventure. Anything that has the hero's going on an adventure, either through a fantasy land or just a spy action novel. I love reading about things that would never happen in real life. A hint of romance in the action is good. 3. Harry Potter, but just the first 4 books. They just got too complicated after that. 4. I read Gordon Korman alot in middle school (I'm in college now). I remember him fondly. He wrote 3 trilogies about teens in survival situations. 5. I haven't decided yet. I'm thinking about "Candles". What do you think? 6. Hum... thats hard. A toss up between Casanova(with Heath Ledger), Stardust, and the Back to the Future trilogies. 7. I'm not sure I have one. Maybe Heath Ledger (R.I.P), Micheal J. Fox, Vin Diesel, or Mark Walhburg. 8. One of my teen characters played a prank on his roommate (at boarding school) using pinecones. I thought it was funny. 9. Probably the roommate I mentioned above. (Not the one that played the prank, the other teen guy.) His name is Eric. He's tall, lanky, with brown hair and brown eyes. He does well in school but is worried about what to do after high school. 10. I don't even know. I haven't gotten to the angst-y part of my book yet. 11. Adventure/sci-fi/fantasy. It's set in the post-apolcatic future. Its sci-fi, but no aliens. Its also fantasy, but no mythological creatures. It's complicated. 12. You write better than alot of older teens. Good luck with your story!

1. I don't really eat much when I write, it just distracts me. If I do, it would just be a little bag of cheeze-its or something simple like that. What am I craving? Well, I couldn't eat ANYTHING today because of a dang dentist appointment, so right now I'm pretty much craving...food. God, I'm hungry. Okay, new topic. 2. Same here, I always read fantasy. 3. Again, same here. Percy vs. Harry is giving me a headache, too hard of a decision. 4. I really don't know. I usually read the popular, best-selling books, but Kaleb Nation's books sound interesting, I'll give him a try. 5. Victims of the Deep 6. I'm not much of a movie watcher, but I do love Disney (the old Disney, not the crap modern Disney), especially Beauty and the Beast (I know, dork alert). 7. Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, etc. None of them are cute really, I just love all their movies and the characters they play. 8. Hmm...I honestly don't have one for my book. I like yours though. =) 9. Woot! I freaking love this question! So a little about her: -17 years old -hair is a dull red, messily cut just below the ears -brown eyes -features relatively plain except for the burn marks on the side of her neck that she hides with a scarf -adopted when she was five and has lived there ever since -reserved and not very social -has flashbacks of a fire from her past that no one believes - some thinking she's mad - so she keeps them to herself -has a passion for the piano, but never plays around anyone, thinking it will show her as weak That was probably a little more detailed than you were asking, sorry 'bout that. =) 10."Killing yourself won't save her." 11. Fantasy-ish 12. Well I don't really count, since I already knew that from previous questions. =) Fun question! =)
8 :
1. I mostly drink juices or coco-cola :D But right now, it's 3:30 AM, so I'm not craving anything :P 2. Murder mysteries, fantasy and chic lit. But I only write mysteries. 3. Tie between Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter. 4. Hannah Moskovitz and Kody Keplinger. 5. Ashes of Vengeance. 6. Casablanca, Grease and Chicago among others. 7. Looks wise-Ian Somerhalder or Neil Patrick Harris. In general-Joseph Gordon Lewitt is a new favourite. 8. It had something to do with unicorns and my cousin...approximately 11 years ago. 9. Logan Wilson--CIA agent. 10. This is from my previous story: "I will always be grateful to that bag of rice." It makes more sense in the story and it's based on a very wonderful, personal experience. 11. Adventure/Mystery. It's a gray area. 12. Should I be?
9 :
1. I actually try not to eat while I write. But I'll eat before I write. Munching on pretzels or crackers. Stuff like that. 2. Fantasy is my favorite genre. 3. Twilight - totally. Haha. You know I mean to say Harry Potter ;) 4. I don't know too many (none) young authors, so I can't formulate an answer. 5. Actually, I'm writing 3 books right now that I'm focusing on one chapter at a time for each. I'll pick one. "Burn All Magic" 6. Favorite movie? I have seen enough to give a good answer. I might say Titanic since I have seen it so many times, but I'm not sure. 7. WILL SMITH. WILL SMITH. WILL SMITH. That man is a hunk of comedy. My heart laughs for him. haha, I sound like a fangirl. Actually, I just really love his acting. He can play a variety of roles. And only a good actor can do that. 8. "JaJuJa" - "Jasmine, Jupiter, Jade". They're triplets. The phrase "JaJuJa" is actually never mentioned in my writing. Just something stupid I thought of. 9. Favorite character ever created? You're killing me. Characters are 1 of the main reasons why I write. Well, perhaps this one character named Bethany Armstrong. 10. Probably the most meaningful is "Her shoes were flat and her feet were flat" because it suggests she does a lot of traveling and she is not so well to do. 11. Fantasy. 12. I thought you might have been like 28 when I first saw you on here. Than I saw you more and I thought maybe 18-20. 13 is a bit of a difference, so yeah, a tiny bit!
10 :
1. I eat these things called baozi. They're dumplings stuffed with deliciousness. I'm craving something... sweet. Like cherries. 2. Tragedy. 3. Harry Potter. 4. Mmm, I'm not sure. I don't really know any young authors. 5. Porcelain 6. Leon: The Professional, Guns and Talks, or Secret. I like a lot of movies, so I don't think I can say that I have a favourite. 7. Uh... Hm... Rainie Yang. 8. I don't write anything funny, really. 9. Jayden Wong or Abel Cain. 10. "He died that morning." 11. Tragedy. 12. No. I don't care about ages. Besides, that's like saying "are you surprised that I'm twenty-two" even though it's stated on my page. |:
11 :
1) I eat sugary things when I write and I'm not craving anything right now; I just ate dinner. 2) My favorite genre is also fantasy, though I have a soft spot for science fiction too. 3) I tie between Percy Jackson and Harry Potter too. I liked them both for different reasons. 4) Isobelle Carmody. She wrote this book called "Alyzon Whitestarr" and it was fantastic, but I don't think it made that much of a splash when it was published in the US. It did in Australia (somewhat), but not here. It should have. 5) Puppetmaster. It's my NaNoWriMo novel. 6) Dreamgirls, without a doubt. 7) I don't think I have a favorite actor. 8) The Emo Hallway. It was for a parody I wrote of vampire books. With so many emo-seeming people storming their way into the genre, the ones I included in the story needed their own hallway in the school to do their emo-ing in. 9) Bellflower "Belle" Constantine, a supporting character in ANOTHER story. (I have about twenty in storage that I started, stopped, and plan to finish one day; I only have three that I'm actively working on.) She can sense emotions and teleport (it's a superperson story, just roll with it) and I just love her hippy-dippy name and chilled-out vibe. Before I even had her role planned out, I knew she would be in the book. 10) (From Puppetmaster): "Then don't dance." (It's out of context, so it will need some explaining. This is said to the main character, who loves to dance and is being kept from doing so by the person who says this, the antagonist that is obsessed with her. I'm sure you can figure out the deeper meaning to this.) 11) (Puppetmaster): Contemporary young adult fiction/suspense. 12) It doesn't surprise me that much. Teens have a big presence on Y!A. I should know--I'm sixteen and I've seen so many teens around here!
12 :
1) I don't usually eat anything while writing because I'd probably get my keyboard all sticky. But I usually have a cup of ginger tea. Right now I'm not craving anything because I feel kind of sick. 2) Drama, sometimes fantasy as long as it isn't crappy, and sometimes crime fiction. 3) Definitely Harry. 4) I'll have to say Nathaniel Rich. 5) It's called "Lilac". 6) The Prestige, Labyrinth, 1408. 7) Robert Downey Jr. He's awesome. 8) Nothing really, my novel isn't supposed to be funny... 9) Eliott Rye, the cynical, socially-awkward photographer with a passion for philosophy. 10) "I've been seeing him everywhere." 11) Drama/Mystery. 12) No. I'd be surprised if you were 46 though.
