I'm answering these questions in response to the Trifecta Friday Check-In, where the authors who participate in this challenge provide verbal snapshots of themselves.
- What is your name (real or otherwise)? The Gal Herself
- Describe your writing style in three words. Conversational, honest, journalistic
- How long have you been writing online? Since May 2006
- Which, if any, other writing challenges do you participate in? I participate in Nanowrimo, though I have yet to finish
- Describe one way in which you could improve your writing. I need to keep at it -- both in beginning new pieces and refining/editing the ones I've done
- What
is the best writing advice you’ve ever been given? "Writers write."
- Who
is your favorite author? Robert B. Parker, William Goldman
- How
do you make time to write? I am a writer by trade, so I'm always at the keyboard. I do these Trifecta challenges between the raindrops when I'm working. They give me an opportunity to write without having to sell something!
- Give us one word we should consider using as a prompt. Straight
- Direct us to one blog post of yours that we shouldn't miss reading. No. I won't. Instead I'll refer you to The 30 Days of Honesty posts I did as part of an online challenge in 2010. Considering how quickly I whipped them out, they reflect pretty well on me as both a woman and a writer.
I may have to steal this meme for a rainy (or snowy) day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up. We've enjoyed having you around the last few weeks. I checked out your 30 Days of Honesty and really enjoyed it. I liked Day 26 ... I can imagine that exercise was really worthwhile. Look out for your chosen word in the coming weeks!
