I was tagged by Sherry Mayle. I love these things. I am always “Most Likely To Play”. So here we go!
Here are the questions inquiring minds want to know:
- Starting with a softball question: Who’s your favorite writer?
I have too many to count. I have different moods. I read so many different genres. IRL — Pema Chodron is who I’m working on right now and always a favorite. Here on Medium — I read every single thing Jessica Wildfire writes. I love White Feather, Jack Herlocker & Jack Preston King. I start my day with Adam, Diabetic Cyborg & my daily dose of Buddhist philosophy. If you’re talking IRL fiction — I completely adore Charlaine Harris of True Blood fame. JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling — sensing a theme here? I’m either down in the dirt working out the big questions in Life or I’m hiding in some other fantasy world.
2. If you found out that writer was secretly awful, would you still like their art?
Yes. Because I also feel that way about musicians. Leonard Cohen is a perfect example. He apparently left a long line of broken hearts and was quite the Bad Boy in his day. But I have loved his music forever. Sometimes art comes from dark places. Jackson Browne is another favorite and we kind of all know who he was. But damn — I love his music.
