11 Questions from Carrie Butler

So apparently there is this new bloggy/taggy thing going around and I've been tagged by the brilliant and fascinating (and majorly talented) Carrie Butler over at So, You're a Writer.  How it works is she made up 11 questions and I have to answer them.  Then I get to make up 11 questions and tag some more lucky bloggers!

1.  What was the last song you listened to?
I'm pretty sure it was As Long as We've Got Love by Javier Colon.  I love that song.

2.  Plotter, pantser, or non-committal hybrid? ;)
Non-committal hybrid!  I'm a little bit of both.  I usually start out with a general premise and start writing, then fill out the plot as I go along.

3.  There’s a new release from your favorite (living) author! Do you click to order the ebook or rush out to buy it in print?
I click to PRE-order the ebook immediately.  Then at midnight on the release date I keep turning my Kindle on and off waiting for it to load up.  Heh heh heh.

4.  You’re stressed out. What snack do you turn to? (If you don’t stress-eat, we don’t want to know… you robot. *grins*)
Sugary treats.  Mostly chocolate.  I love Kit Kats and Ferraro Rocher.  I like pastries and I can eat an entire pie by myself in one sitting.  Also ice cream but as much as I love it, it doesn't love me back so usually various types of chocolate.

5. Name two fictional characters you’d want to see get in a fight.
Bartleby and Hester Prynne.  Can you imagine?  I'd love to know what would be enough to provoke either one or both of them to get into a fight!  Hah hah hah.  "I prefer not to . . . "

6.  The animal you most identify with is the _______.
Dog.  Always trying to please . . .

7.  Two things within arm’s reach:
My Kindle and my daughter's Yo Gabba Gabba blanket which I appropriated for myself.

8.  If you had to compete in the 2012 Olympics, which sport would you pick?
Well I can't swim so that's out.  Are martial arts an Olympic sport? 

9.  Do you kind of hate me right now? It’s okay. I would, too. ;)
Hah hah.  No.  I could never hate you.  You're too awesome.

10. Did you eat breakfast this morning?
Indeed I did.

11.  Describe your current book, MS, or WIP in three words.
Dark.  Violent.  Gritty.

Here are my 11 Questions to these folks:

1.  What is the first line of your current WIP?
2.  What is the most overrated "classic" that you ever read?
3.  What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
4.  If you could win any literary prize, what would it be?
5.  What historical figure from any time period would you most like to meet and hang out with?
6.  Most consecutive hours without sleep because you were in a writing frenzy?
7.  What are your three favorite movies?
8.  Name one fictional character whose ass you'd love to kick.
9.  Would you rather have one book published that becomes a classic or have multiple books published that sell well but eventually go "out of print"?
10.  What was the weirdest moment of writing inspiration you've ever had?
11.  If your life had a theme song, what would it be?

Let the fun begin!  Mwah hah hah . . .
