I like mushroom hunting. My grandfather passed away last year at 100 years old. I was raised by my grandparents. I learned to hunt mushrooms through a book and my friend. My friend introduced me to my husband. I have been married for 15 years.  I check out e-books on my phone. My neighborhood has a free library. I like the book Tuesdays With Morrie. I really live the book "The Glass Hotel". I have never read any books by Nicholas Sparks. I do not like romance very much.
I am in Texas. I have a female sibling with a very common name. I write. My dad is a journalist. I was born a premature baby after the 1970s.  I was raised by my parents. My parents have been married for 20 years. I swap books with my sister. I'm 20 miles from town.I am currently reading the book "Cutting for Stone". I prefer paper copy of books over ebooks. I cannot read small print. I have read Nicholas Sparks and recommend him to people who like romance.
I know you and your sister love to read. Did you get your love of books from your father, since he was a journalist? Yes, he instilled a love for reading at a very young age. For every TV program we watched growing up I had to read at least 30 minutes.  Do you feel that your parent's insistence on reading led to your writing today? No definitely not. I didn't fall in love with writing till college. I think growing up you never want to do what your parents did but I fell in love with it after taking and intro to writing class my freshman year.  So, do you write for a living? What kind of writing do you do? I'm trying to but I haven't been lucky enough to get anything published yet. I mostly focus on fantasy but also do a little bit of sci-fi. I never asked what genre you like the best?  I like all kinds of fiction. I'm a big fan of sci-fi especially world building like Anne McCaffery or George RR Martin. Is that the type of sci-fi you write? Well I don't think I can compare myself to those two but that is the type of sci-fi I try to write. Would you be interesting in being a reader for my rough drafts? I try to get a few people to give me their thoughts and impressions on my writing.  I would absolutely love to! I like reading on my phone, is there a chance your drafts are in digital format? Yes, even though I prefer to read on paper I do all my writing electronically. I can email the draft to you, no problem.  I look forward to it. I understand reading on paper, and I used to prefer paper books, but found myself overwhelmed with books I'd finished reading. More than even the free library could handle. Yeah, I like to keep my books in my writing room. I'm trying to cover all the walls in books like you see in the movies. How large is the free library? Tell me more about it I love the idea.
