If you could make one change in your life…
Putting aside things like, “I’d win a lottery,” I want to be healthier. I made a good start on this, lost 20 lbs, worked out a lot, but I’ve let the weight slide back up. I still work out, though even that routine has been disrupted. Happily, this is a change I can make in my life. So… back on the horse.
Favourite flower?
I don’t know that I have a specific favorite. I know I like Queen Anne’s Lace in a field and African Violets in a pot. I’m not crazy about roses or tulips specifically, but I like well-arranged flowers of all kinds in a greenhouse or garden, and a wild profusion of flowers in a wild garden or meadow.
Ultimate vocation?
I want to be a writer of minor SF novels that sell just enough to keep me being invited to conventions as a second-string guest, and help pay the mortgage on a large Victorian home. Right now I’m merely a part-time writer of minor RPG books that sell just enough to keep me being invited to conventions as a third-string guest, and help pay for…. Well… bus fare?
If you could live in an alternate universe, what would that look like?
Annie Lennox in a dirigible.
Specifically, image Annie Lennox circa “Love is a Stranger”, in the observation deck of a zeppelin cruising past the Chrysler Building. There would also be computers, and space travel, and affordable fusion power.
Boxers or briefs. Explain!
Boxers, because they last longer, and because I often wear them as pajamas. I don’t want to shamble about the house in just a pair of briefs, like some sort of common cave troll.
