My
answers to Janet’s questions:
1.
What is your first
memory as a small child?
I’ve been remembering
more and more lately. Things I didn’t
know I remembered, come back to me, detailed and vivid, as if they happened
only yesterday. I clearly remember, for
instance, sitting in my crib, my soft blue-white checked blanket at my side, I’m
looking through the wooden bars, and chewing on a piece of a light-green rubber
tube (a homemade teething device) I was quite young as you can imagine!
2.
What do you like to
'sneak' when no one is looking?
Chips.
3.
What is your favorite
'writing snack'?
When I write, I tend
to forget to eat, so when I start getting dizzy, I just grab a quick bite – a toast, some crackers, etc. – and go back to
writing. Not very healthy, I know…
4.
Who is your hero?
I cannot say that I
have a hero, but I respect and admire a lot of people. As a Christian, I try to remind myself that I
should aspire to be like Jesus – a goal that, I feel, is completely out of my
reach, but ultimately, yes – Jesus is my hero, and my destination.
5.
What is your favorite
kind of footwear?
I love my slippers!
6.
When did you realize
you NEED to write?
Three years ago.
7.
Who is your best
friend?
My family is, in its
indivisibility. Also, Anne Tyler (too
bad she doesn’t know I exist…)
8.
What is your favorite
color to wear?
It might sound
strange, but I think I’m most happy in black.
9.
Do you have a
favorite TV show?
I like the oldies: “The
Twilight Zone,” “The Honeymooners,” “The Addams Family.” When we lived in Prague, I used to watch “Everybody
Loves Raymond” in Czech! I enjoyed it.
10.
If you were stranded
on an island who would you like to be stranded with?
Somebody who’d know
how to get us out of there!
11.
What inspires you to
write more than anything?
I cannot single out
one thing… I guess, life inspires me.
And writing itself – the kick I get out of it – is an inspiration.
11
questions for you:
1.
Do you give yourself enough credit?
2.
What is your biggest hope?
3.
Are you an early bird or a night owl when
it comes to writing?
4.
What are you most proud of?
5.
What gives you shivers?
6.
Do you believe there’s something more
to coincidences?
7.
Would you like to be a space tourist?
8.
Do you fly in your dreams?

Are you a “cat person” or a “dog
person”?

your blog?

do you want to be when you grow up?

Live for the Love of it!
