Significant Other Blogfest

Today is Talli and DL Hammons @ Cruising Altitude’s blogfest. The fest requires a loved one to either write a post or be interviewed about that loved one. I had to go for the later.

Ms. Twister was selected as my victim and I would like to give you some background. We have known each other since second grade. Have lived together for quite a while and are a true yen and yang combination; her being the yen.

Ms. Twister

She does laundry to my repairing toilets. A quite soul who reads anything she can get her hands on. Takes life in a “Come what may” sort of way and is truly the calm to my stormy personality.

The first three questions are required interview material and the rest I just made up in an email. Remember she is a world traveler now.

Q. What food or drink is guaranteed to return your loved one to a good mood, even after a bad day writing?
A hot cup of Joe and a hot bath to go with it. (Now if only her dog would not wash its ball in said bath)
Q. What one thing would you change about your others writing habits?
She has great writing habits and does most of it while I am in bed. I would like to be able to reduce her stress and afford the time needed to be creative. (I guess that means she will be learning to repair toilets.)
Q. How hard is it to sit by and watch someone you care for struggle to attain a dream...knowing there's very little you can do to help?
This is extremely hard knowing how talented she is. I wish for her that one break to share her talent with the world. (SHH, not share, sell)
Q. What do you enjoy best about your loved one’s writing? 
The surprise endings and I get to relate to where some of the real stories come from. (Little does she know? She has been the MC of several)
Q. What happens when you have to interrupt the writing process?
I do not dare. However, if I have too, I try to make sure she is not in a fingers flying across the keyboard mode. (She use to stand in the hall to wake me up too)
Q. Can you describe your loved one’s mind set on any given day?
Always thinking, her mind never stops. Our conversations are never boring. (And I once had a healer refuse to put her hands back on my over active head) 
Q. Where do their stories come from?
Life experiences, seen objects, and topics that stir passion. Like watching the news and seeing an injustice. (Which is why I’m not allowed to hold things and watch TV, ever tried to get PB&J off the thing?)
Q. What would you like the world to know about your loved one?
That she is a very caring and warm-hearted soul.  Who is passionate and extremely intelligent. (Okay she is taking nerve pills in order to get through an oral presentation. I don’t think they have worn off) 
Q. What are their best qualities? And worst?
The best are love, compassion, caring, honest and trustworthy. The worst is while in the middle of something and has a mind-set going; do not bother her. (In other words, I have a sensitive, anal personality.)
Q. If you could change one thing, what would it be?
I would not change a thing, well maybe her socks. (I told you, socks stay on until the flip flops come out.)

Thank you, Ms. Twister for answering my questions. I’m sure DL could have added a few more. The truth is I write when the voices in my head tell me to and no, they do not have indoor voices.

Thank you DL and Talli for hosting this fest. I do encourage everyone to visit the other entries, I am.

Have a great, safe weekend everyone.
Peace…
