Meme'd!

Thank you, oh mama of drama, for the tag. According to this particular meme, I am supposed to tell you five strengths related to my writing. I'm going to try to do this as a sort of automatic writing exercise, because if I think about it too much, I'll seize up like a pulled hamstring. So here goes:

1. That was a truly heinous simile up there in that last paragraph. I know that, and I apologize for it, but I have the moral courage to let it stand anyway. Ha!

2. I'm actually writing. Right now, as a matter of fact. After so many years of thinking that maybe I'd write something one of these days, I have finally figured out that I'm at my best when I write the way I actually think, as opposed to the way I think I should (think). Mistress of the obvious? Perhaps.

3. I'm a hella good speller. Just am, always was. I see the word, I remember it, the way I remember a face. A relatively useless skill, but I find it oddly satisfying.

4. I wish I could write an epistolary novel. That's not a strength, it's just a random fact.

5. Instinct. Not always good, but always mine.

I tag Mike, Jordan, and Kristina, because each of them brings something special to the party (no obligation, guys, honest).

This meme is seriously making the rounds! I love your list. I most especially love #4 because a writer without dreams...well, it's a bit like peanut butter without jelly, don't you think? And spelling, my friend? Never underestimate the importance of that one!

[cry it out!]

Thanks for the tag!

And ...

6. You're a wicked good scene setter. Not easy to do.

Oh, no, my friend...spelling and face recognition are assets tro be valued! Trust me...I suck at BOTH! LOL

Thanks for the tag, Susan! It was a harder exercise than it seemed. I love your writing and am so glad you're doing more of it.
