Howdy, dear pals, poets, and powerful protectors in the ways of nerdom!
Sorry, it’s been a little while. As a school teacher, it is that time of year to get our classrooms prepped for our new dear students. AND, I finished and submitted the manuscript for formatting and printing for my latest book! It should be out VERY SOON (more details to come once I have the release date.)
Something I like doing as an author are interviews (yet I am a nervous wreck for once at school or if I was trying to get a new job! HA!) Unique questions are entertaining and challenging. So, I decided to do that; entertain you with information, but in a way that was partly difficult for me.
A popular question that has been around for ages is: “If you were trapped on a deserted island, what movies would you bring with you?” First off, I was curious about the fact that if I had electricity for a T.V., I should probably find a way to make contact with someone to escape; I don’t do well with heat! LOL! But, answering strictly for fun, it is a hard choice.
So, I used a writing style I cherished; poetry! Acrostic poems are fun and one you most likely did in school. It’s where you spell a word, going down, and the lines of the piece have to start with the first letter of each line.
An example would be:
Appealing
Nerdy
Imaginative
Magical
Emotional
The rules I set for myself was I can use my FULL NAME, but the titles had to start with the matching letter of the line and no repeats (but if it is a short franchise of films, I clustered them into one spot a few times, lol!) This was hard to think of a few and numerous of my favorite movies could not be represented due to I not having a letter that matched the start of its title! BOO!
So, let’s use written art to learn more about each other! ^_^ You can do this too; I’d love to see which movies you would have with you on your island too IN THE COMMENTS!
