The Liebster Award

My new wordpress friend, loladiamond01 , nominated me for the Liebster Award!! I want to thank her because she was so sweet and kind to me on the first days of my blog (which was less than a week ago!). Her story follows the legacy of the Rosenthal family which is full of mystery and drama. The characters are really unique and inspiring, and the story draws you right in!

The rules are:

• Say thank you to the person who has nominated you for the award.
• Answer the 11 questions the person has asked you.
• Nominate people (comment on their blog to let them know).
• Ask the people you have nominated 11 questions

My answers to her questions:

1. Is there any song you are addicted to right now? If so, then what is it?

Hmmm..tough question! Right now I’d say “Alice Cooper – Only my heart talking”. I’ve made a playlist of power ballads to draw inspiration from -for my story- and I really got hooked with this particular song!

2. Do you prefer to work in the silence or do you put on music when you write?

If I’m looking for inspiration, I always listen to music. Otherwise, if I have something very specific in my mind to do, I prefer silence because then I find music distracting 🙂

3. Do you prefer writing about female or male characters? Why?

I love both! Please don’t make me choose!!! 😀

4. What length is your hair?

It’s always somewhat long, should I say chest-length? I think I’ve had the same hairstyle for more than 10 years lol! (except for a a couple of years ago when I had some -unfortunate- bangs)

5. Do you like reading? If so, do you prefer short books or longer stories?

I really like reading and I prefer both for different reasons. A good long story can draw you in and make you not want to do anything else for days, but there’s something powerful in a well-written short story that a longer one doesn’t have.

6. How long have you been writing about your sims’ lives?

Less than a week! I wanted to do it for a really long time though, but I guess the story that I’m writing right now made me take that first step forward.

7. Do you prefer staging your story or going with the flow and seeing what happens in game? I’m not asking which one you do, just which one feels better to do and satisfies you more.

I like both, but sometimes I really love the hilarious results of random gameplay. So, while I do love staging stories, I’d have to go with the second choice.

8. Do you consider yourself a perfectionist?

Yes!! Oh how many times I’ve read my posts over and over again in order to find the tiniest mistakes or omissions..!

9. A pool or the sea? Or you don’t like water?

Always the sea! A pool doesn’t come together with a beach, does it? 🙂

10. Which one do you like more- warm or cold weather?

Definitely warm, I’m a summer person!

11. What is your dream job?

I’d really want to do something creative, where I work from home and handling my own hours. My dream when I was a kid was -still is- to write and design my own video games (yep, I’m a major geek).
