Q&A Answers!

A while back I asked for some random questions and such so y'all could get to know me. Here are my answers :D

From Bethany R., I got a number of interesting questions. Here we go!

1. When did you first start writing?
   I would have to say it was about 2011 or 2012.
2. What was your first story?
   My first story was the first book in the "Cantering Hooves Ranch" Series I wrote. It was called "Golden Sunshine" and it was about four riding pupils who become best friends at a horse farm and they learn one of the horses the farm owns is actually a stolen horse and worth a lot of money.
3. What are you goals in the writing world?
   I have no set goals. I write mostly for my own personal enjoyment. I do like to write things that make people think and encourage others.
4. How long ago did you start your blog?
   I started this blog in 2010 according to Blogger but back then it was just for my close friends and family. I just went public about a year ago...(Don't have time to check the actual date right now :P)
5. What is your favorite part of blogging, and favorite post you've done?
   Interacting with you guys and getting to read your own stories! We are all very like-minded and its fun to learn about each other. My favorite posts are the What Happens Next?! posts. I love reading your stories, especially when you wrote using the Hansen/O'Neal characters. It was cool to see you take my characters and write about them. 
6. How many siblings do you have?
   Two! A younger sister (16) and a younger brother (13)
7. What is your ideal vacation?
   Going to the beach! My family (immediate family, grandparents, and aunts, uncles, and cousins sometimes)  often goes to a beach in North Carolina where we rent a house right on the beach. We spend a week there where we all just relax. I do a lot of reading and swimming in the ocean :) SO RELAXING!
8. If you could visit two places in the world, where would they be and why?
   Somewhere out in Western United States and Deering, New Hampshire. I have always wanted to visit somewhere like South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, or Colorado since I was twelve. So beautiful out there! And Deering, New Hampshire is where the WILDS of New England is located, where I went to summer camp this year. I had so much fun that I want to go back for another week :)
9. Am I asking too many questions?
   Hahaha not at all!
10. Would you rather swim with a great white shark or walk with a lion?
    Good grief...walk with a lion. I'm not a great swimmer so I'd be terrified in the water with a shark. Plus I think lions are cool :)
11. What is your favorite animal and why?
    Horses! They are so beautiful, majestic, powerful etc. 
12. What is your favorite color?
    Blue!
13. Describe yourself in one or two sentences.
    An eighteen-year-old, college bound gal who loves to make others laugh, loves to write, make videos, and sing!
14. What are you hobbies? (Other than blogging and writing)
    I love to sing. I love singing with my friends and with my church choir or recording acapella music with myself.

I also got some questions from Faith P. Here's my answers to her intriguing questions!

1. Water, tea, or coffee? And for any of those, hot or cold?
   Mmm I would say water, but recently I started drinking tea and I love it. But nothing beats an ice cold glass of water.
2. What's your favorite way to eat peanut butter?
   In a sandwich with strawberry jelly!
3. Chicken or turkey?
   Chicken! 
4. Beef or Pork?
   Pork! Pork is my favorite meat.
5. Brownies and ice cream, or birthday cake with frosting?
   Brownies and ice cream for sure. I'm an ice cream person rather than a cake person.
6. Do you prefer to write by hand or on a computer/electronic device?
   Writing stories I prefer to use the computer or electronic device because eventually I have to transfer it to the computer anyways. But I like writing by hand for  other things.
7. Do you keep a journal? If so, do you let anyone read it?
   Yes! I've been keeping a journal since mid-2013. I don't let other people read it. Writing in my journal is my outlet for when I'm angry, upset, or scared so I write all my "deep" thoughts in there :) I will tell other people about certain things I write if it's about a trip or something like that.
8. What's your favorite flower?
   Dandelions!!! ;-) Kidding, I like roses.
9. Would you rather...get bitten once by a mountain lion or a shark?
   Once by a mountain lion. I think his bite wouldn't hurt as much as a shark's.
10. Would you rather...hang by your feet off a bridge with only your best friends present or lick frosting of your nose on a stage in front of 500 people?
    Given the fact I can't reach my nose with my tongue, I choose to hang off the bridge LOL
11. Would you rather...marry a man ten years older than you or five years younger?
    Ten years older. Younger are too immature :P 

Now for some fun questions from Blessing!

1. What do you think now of the first story you ever wrote? I think it was interesting...haha it was terribly written but I do love the story idea and I kinda wanna rewrite it someday.
2. What do you enjoy most about writing? THE POWER!! :D I can make up my own characters, place them wherever I wish, and make them do whatsoever I please!
3. What is your strongest subject in school? I think English was my best.  
4. What is your weakest subject in school? Definitely Science and maybe Math. It kinda flip flopped which was my worst lol.
5. Would you rather read or write? I would rather write. I always have something floating around in my head that I want to play with.
6. Waffles or pancakes? Waffles!! I don't know why but I love waffles more.
7. If you could have one superhero power, what would it be? The power to possess all super powers. Kidding ;-) I'm not THAT person. Its either the power to go back in time and re-live whatever memory I want or the power to go back and change things. Like fix my mistakes etc.
8. Baking or cooking? Neither? Haha I don't really do either but I like baking better cause desserts are delicious.
9. Would you rather marry a bald man or a man with shoulder-length hair? (keeping in mind that both men meet your qualifications and standards and all that, it’s just the hair really that’s the difference ;)) Hahaha I love this question. Shoulder length hair. My dad is bald (by choice) and I hate it. My man needs some hair and some guys don't look half bad with long hair.
10. Chocolate or vanilla? Ugh. Depends on my mood...sometimes I need vanilla and sometimes I need chocolate.
11. What is one of your favorite childhood memories? I have a terrible memory so I don't remember a lot of young memories but...I remember loving going to Children's Church as a kid. I would've been like 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade. My teachers made it fun and the part I remember distinctly would be the puppet skits (ours involved a raccoon named Reggie. He was amazing ;D) and singing together. Children's Church cultivated my love for singing :) SO that is one of my fond childhood memories.
12. If you got the chance to perform a solo song in front of more than a 1000 people, would you take it? Nooooooooooo. I am not a soloist. I get nervous singing in front of 100 people. 
13. Would you rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard or heavy metal? AHHH MY EARS. Gracious. I think fingernails on a chalkboard provided the chalkboard is small lol. Heavy metal is just too loud and obnoxious.
