Tagged For Questioning

By Minerva Zimmerman

I was just futzing about on the internet like a bad writer when I should really be editing this novel… and noticed I got tagged for a question meme. Now, I’m not one to look a procrastination horse in the gift mouth, so onward to the questions! 

If they were making a movie about your life, who would you choose to play you?

Benedict Cumberbatch 

 
If you could be given another talent or ability, what would you want it to be?  Have you ever – really – tried to perfect this ability in yourself?
 
I wish I could pick up languages in a snap. I have studied both German and Spanish but have poor retention. 
 
If you could take one trip back in time, when and where would you go?
 
Hmm, well if I undo any of my life’s mistakes I wouldn’t be who I am now and I might cause a time paradox, so that’s a bad idea. I am probably the worst person to send back in time ever. I have a hard enough time dealing with not mucking up my dealings with the present. 
 
Do you have a favorite movie that you can watch over and over?
 
Dune, Blade Runner, Master and Commander 
 
If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?
 
I would never choose this. Lack of change always causes problems. 
 
What is one of your favorite quotes?
 
“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” –Frank Tibolt
 
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be?
 
I am not entirely certain I am not a fictional character. 
 
What sound do you love?
 
Rain.
 
What superpower would you like to have?
 
Ability to split my consciousness and bilocate. 
 
Do you have a favorite artist? Who?
 
I do not have a favorite, I have too many favorites to name. 
 
Have you ever wanted to invent something to make your life easier? What?
 
Boozffins: Muffin Booze delivery mechanisms aka carb-loading and drinking at the same time.

New Free Podcast

By Minerva Zimmerman

I keep forgetting to post new things here as well as on Twitter. If you missed it, in honor of Valentine’s Day, Timid Pirate posted a podcast of my story Apples and Arrows from the anthology Cobalt City: Dark Carnival.

Head over and take a listen
