I’m It

by Elisa

Well, apparently I’ve been tagged in an ongoing meme, by JM over at Fiction Scribe. JM has asked that I post 7 random facts about me. In an effort to keep this post on-topic, I will attempt to make that 7 vaguely Book-related facts. Hmmmm. Well, here goes…

1. My Favorite book is Escape to Witch Mountain by Alexander Key.

2. I have never yet finished writing a novel, but I have a couple that I’ve begun.

3. I write poetry. I even have one titled “Heirloom Tools.”

4. My first story was called “My Favorite Characters Meet.”

5. The single most driving factor behind my desire to be a published author is a guy in 7th Grade who said I would never be a writer. I plan to dedicate my first book to him.

6. I am a librarian, like my parents before me.

7. I have never read the Da Vinci Code.

Well, there you go, JM. I hope that’s what you were looking for.

I Tag:
The Folks at Book Chronicle
Catslyn at SCA Life
The Folks at Silliness.org
Juli over at Juli’s Cinema Spot
Mallory over at Mallory in the Middle
Bess from Tea and Complexity
DaveP at Pop Buzz UK

The rules:

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog.

    That’s so funny that you mentioned that kid in seventh grade–I had one in sixth grade that I plan to dedicate my first novel to. I have three that I’m working on and another one that I’ve laid out in my head. Now, I just need to get off my butt and WRITE! lol
