That Meme Thing

Laura at Greetings from the Pole Barn tagged me with this meme.  As part of it pertains to writing/books, I’m passing it along.  I’m also “borrowing” her definition of a meme, which is, in my opinion, a good one.

A meme is kind of like a chain letter in the blogosphere, where someone starts with a list of questions and passes it on to a list of people who have blogs and they answer them in their posts(on their own blogs, of course) and pass them on to other people. It’s fun, it’s informative, and it helps everyone market themselves by giving them exposure.

A mutual friend and writer, Sandy Lender, came up with this meme and I am passing it along. It’s all about getting away, like on spring break or on vacation, which all of us are sick to death of winter.

In honor of spring break and all things travel-oriented, here we go!

Getting Away With It

1) If you could live for a month in one world or time period from a novel you’ve read, which would you choose?

Can I say Ireland during the time period of Kiernan’s story, which I wrote and am marketing?  No?  OK, then I would have to say Marion Zimmer Bradley’s version of Avalon from The Mists of Avalon.

2) If you could be one character from a comic book or fiction series, who would it be? 

Maybe Stephanie Plum from Janet Evanovich’s numbers series.  She has more fun than I do.   

3) Where (in the real world) is your dream vacation spot?

Who would be surprised if I say Eureka Springs?    If I have to choose something else, Paris, France.

4) Name a celebrity or TV personality whom you would like to have lunch with.

Jennifer Weiner

Apparently now I have to tag five others.  This is always harder than the original meme.
