Insider Section:

01. When did you start writing?

Well... when I was in yr 3, we had to write a story one day for an English assignment. SO, when I got home, I went to play with my dolls before doing my homework, as I was playing with my dolls, I realized I was making up a story just by playing with them, so, I borrowed my mums tape recorder, recorded me playing with my dolls, what they were doing etc... then wrote out the story. I got my very first 100% ever and have never looked back.

My mum still has dozens of old exercise books filled with my short stories, weird but cool.

 

02. Are any of your characters or situations based on real people or events?

I wrote a personal story as my very first published blog start. Almost Invisible.

At the time I wrote it I was dealing with a lot of stress, but on the wonderful side of things, I had just gotten married. But with my own depression coming back and affecting my life, my husband suggested that I write about what was upsetting me.

So I wrote out the story about my life, up to and even after I'd met him.

I got a lot of great feedback from people, and it was how I became friends with a lot of other writers (you know who you all are) *wink* who commended me on taking on something so hard for my public blog.

 

03. What inspires you to write?

Ooo, well... that would have to be, that my brain always seems to have this endless stream of ideas pouring from my ears. I'm sure if people could see it I'd be leaving stories and words all over the place in my wake!

So I love to be able to get them out, express that 'this is what's in my mind and I want to share it with you all!' kinda feeling.

 

04. Which of your characters is your favorite?

Ooo... that's a tricky one. Uh... Hmmm... I'd have to go with... Kiren from Gilded Intentions. She became a strong, well rounded woman after her ordeal with being kidnapped and trying to save not only her family, but also trust people she never thought she could have. Honestly, she'd be a great friend to have, plus her being a Genie would be a cool bonus as well.

 

05. Who is your favourite author? 

Oh. *looks pained* Do I have to choose one...?

*pouts a little* Well, I guess if I had to choose one, it would have to be... *thinks for a moment wriggling her nose* J.R.Tolkin wrote my favourite books of all time.

 

06. What kind of books do you read?

Actually I read all kinds of books, I was even an encyclopaedia the other week, I was riveted in it.

I love all books from the writings of Edgar Allen Poe to David Eddings to Wills and Boon books.

 

07. If you could use the Sims Time Machine, where would you go and why?

This was tough, but then I had a great idea, I want to see Dinosaurs!!!

Why? Oh come on, who doesn't? It'd be awesome!

 

08. You're stranded on a deserted island with 4 characters from your story(ies). Who are they and what do you think would happen? 

Kiren, Bianca, Reiss and Isaac.

Kiren is a genie and Reiss is a vampire from Gilded Intentions, Kiren and Reiss are both resourceful Sims, so they 'll probably do the shelter type stuff and food, if they can keep their hands off each other long enough that is. *giggles*

Bianca and Isaac are from Negotiations. Bianca is an artist and a perfectionist about everything, so being on a desert island doesn't mean that is ha to be messy or with out class, she will probably take over decorating the place.

Isaac, is kind, gentle and firm in his decision making. He would be good in a crisis should an argument break out, a great peacekeeper of sorts.

And of course... I would maybe... have to get to know him ALOT better myself, after all, everyone needs a hand at keeping the peace, right. *winks*

 

09. If you could be any character from a book or movie, who would you be and why?

Arya from Eragon.

She was a great fighter and knew how to stand on her own, but she wasn't afraid to ask for help, and looked good while doing it.

 

10. If you could marry the man/woman of your dreams, who would you choose and why?

*laughs loudly*

I already did marry him. My husband BrymRune. He's funny, so cute when he's sleepy (six foot three giant lumbering about the house like a tired 5yr old, what 's not to love about that!), smart, and determined. There are other things, but... *blushes* none of your business. *giggles*

 

11. Sims have a lot of quirky and fun inventions and objects not found in real life. If you could choose one thing (for example, spellbook, time machine, Bonehilda) what would it be and why? (Feel free to choose from any of the amazing custom creations as well e.g. Pose Player, Pregnancy controller, lighting tweaks, etc.)

Ooo... that's a tricky one. Uh... Hmmm... I'd have to go with... the Voodoo Doll.

Honestly, there are a few people who need a good kick in the pants, so, why not have some fun.

Yup, I know... I'm weird. But as far as I know, it's why people like me, some of the time. *laughs*
