Novelists Boot Camp: 101 Ways to Take Your Book From Boring to Bestseller
By Todd Stone
see related

You Are a Log Ride
You prefer to live a fairly calm, relaxed life... with a few surprises thrown in.
You don't tend to get yourself worked up easily. You can roll with what life throws at you.
In relationships, you are steady and solid. You maintain a pretty broad perspective on what's going on.
That's not to say you can't get swept away. You're emotions run as deep as anyone else's.

Your life seems like it has been remarkably easy so far. But that's due to how you manage it.
You never stretch yourself too thinly, and you think out your decisions carefully.
Taking the time to enjoy each day is important to you, and you don't let your emotions rule you.
You stay the course and do what's right... knowing it will all work out in the end.

At your best, you are tolerant and understanding of other people's quirks.
You take "go with the flow" to the extreme. Even if you don't like where you're going.
At your worst, you repress your feelings and end up being a little tightly wound.
You definitely have some explosive emotions that occasionally come to the surface!


You Belong in LA
Forget living in a dirty, cold city - you'll take the beach instead.
Celebrity sightings, trendy restaurants, and clubbing all night are more your thing.
And who knows? You might become the next beautiful person the paparazzi stalks!


You Are Cereal
Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day.
(In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.)
Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food.
Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.


Your Fragrance Profile
The best calming fragrance: jasmine
The best fragrance for everyday wear: sandalwood
The best fragrance to boost your sex appeal: rose
The best fragrance for energy: peppermint


You Are a Conservative Chick
Like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Ann Coulter, you're conservative and proud of it.
You speak your mind, even if everyone else around you disagrees.
As you see it, you have to stand up for traditional values and what's right.


Your Superpower Should Be Mind Reading
You are brilliant, insightful, and intuitive.
You understand people better than they would like to be understood.
Highly sensitive, you are good at putting together seemingly irrelevant details.
You figure out what's going on before anyone knows that anything is going on!

Why you would be a good superhero: You don't care what people think, and you'd do whatever needed to be done

Your biggest problem as a superhero: Feeling even more isolated than you do now

You Are an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
On the surface, you're a little plain - but you have many subtle dimensions to your personality.
Sometimes you're down to earth and crunchy. Other times, you're sweet and a little gooey.


You Are From Pluto
You are a dark, mysterious soul, full of magic and the secrets of the universe.
You can get the scoop on anything, but you keep your own secrets locked in your heart.
You love change and you use it to your advantage, whether by choice or chance.
You don't like to compromise, to the point of being self-destructive with your stubborness.
Live life with love, and your deep powers will open the world to you.

8 Things About Me

C.J. Darlington tagged me, so here are the rules:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.


And here are the 8 random facts/habits about me:

1. I'm left-handed.

2. I write in my journal every night before bed. Every single night. If I know that somehow I won't be able to right before bed, I write it in the late afternoon or early evening. I haven't missed a day in almost nine years.

3. I hardly ever wear makeup. I used to never wear it. Now I put on a little eyeshadow if I'm leaving the house or we're having company, and perhaps some lip gloss. Any more than that happens only once or twice a month. The sad thing is, my mom sells Mary Kay and I sell Avon, so I have more makeup than I can use in a decade!

4. My left ring finger has a callus from all the writing I do.

5. I am the oldest of nine kids (and was homeschooled from 1st-12th grade like C.J!), though most people think my younger brother (who's getting married in 6 weeks!) is older.

6. I have only ridden a rollercoaster twice in my life - once when I was 8 or 9 with my eyes shut, and once at Kennywood last summer with my eyes open (mostly).

7. I went from a church with about 30 people (including children) to a church with well over 1000.

8. I hate condiments - ketchup, relish (and pickles), mustard, salad dressing, etc. About the only one I can stand is mayo, and that's restricted to tuna salad.

I tag: Charity, Elaina, Heidi, Valerie, Marvin, Deborah, Ruth, and the ever-wise (and probably unlikely to participate) Dave Long!
