Can you answer these 5 basic questions?
Who comes up with these Facebook quizzes? You know, the ones that ask you to answer a list of “basic” questions, and then reward you with a title such as “PhD Level Botanist!” for knowing that grass is green.
Don’t get me wrong. I get sucked into quizzes as much as anyone else, but some of the answers to these questions are so obvious, I wonder if they’re churning them out in an overseas call center from the glossary of a second grade text book.
Here is an actual example that I swear I did not make up from a quiz I took yesterday called, “Can You Answer 11 Basic Medical Questions?”
Which of the following is not a blood type?
A+
B-

My sweet little Lucy Goose had surgery on her ear yesterday. Poor girl. But you should see how cute it is when she tries to figure out how to scratch at her stitches with that cone on.

I’ve heard some writers say that they’d love to write a book, but first they need to enroll in a writing class, join an organization, learn about publishing, or overcome some other obstacle that is supposedly standing in their way. I always say, if you want to be a writer, there are only two things you absolutely have to do: write a lot, and read a lot. The rest is gravy.

“In some ways…people that don’t exist are much nicer than people that do.”
Love it! I think I might change “nicer” to “more fun to hang out with” if we were talking about my characters, though. Some of those guys are pure evil. 🙂

This one time, when my oldest daughter was still in her first week of Kindergarten, I made a fancy, Pinterest-y lunch. These are pizza lollipops on martini skewers. I thought the event should be recorded for posterity.
