Interview QuestionsPosted by Rachel on February 25th, 2007
Rachael C. asked me these questions.
1. Can you sing? If so, what kind of voice do you have (e.g., soprano) and have you ever performed before an audience, either in a group or solo? I can carry a tune, but I don’t consider myself a great singer by any means. I’m a mezzo-soprano. I can sing most alto parts and most soprano parts pretty well. I’ve sung in choirs and once sang a duet with Rick at church. That’s all that I can remember doing.
2. If you were given a magic wand that could cause you to have twins instead of a single baby for your next pregnancy, would you use it? I don’t think so. As much as I love the idea of having twins, there’s another side of me that freaks out at the idea of all that work, not to mention the labor & delivery. Of course, I’d completely welcome twins if that was God’s will, but I don’t think I’d choose twins if the decision was mine to make.
3. If you were to have twins someday, would you want their names to be totally different from each other or would you prefer to choose names that sound alike, have complementary meanings, or otherwise match in some way? I’d like them to have uniquely different names from each other, I think. I wouldn’t want to be all matchy-matchy with them, except when it came to clothing, and even then, I’d try not to put them in matching outfits ALL the time.
4. Have you had many good friends in your life, or are they more rare for you? Do you often feel a lack in this area in one way or another? I have had only a few close friends in my lifetime. I have a difficult time being close to someone, not because I’m guarded or anything, but probably because I’m somewhat shy and don’t want to push a friendship on someone else. I always feel like I’m being invasive if I pursue a friendship. I guess that comes from my own insecurities about what people think of me. If I know for certain that someone really wants to be my friend, I’ll open up quite easily to them. I’m not sure how satisfactorily I answered that question…I could go on and on on that subject!
5. If you could be a prolific author, would you want to be best known for novels or for non-fiction and why? That’s a tough question. I’m not sure which I’d rather be known for. Novels, I guess. I’d like to entertain readers with a good story.
