I just have to call all of your “awesome.” Some of your have been on the journey with me from practically the beginning (Following Him, Steve Still Standing) and some of my new victims (Kaylaannauthor, DirtyScifiBuddha) are showing their love.
I would love to hear from those listed above as well any other people who like to answer these most random questions. But please keep in mind, random doesn’t mean it isn’t thoughtful. 🙂 I would list my answers too.
- Are you more of a compulsive eater or talker? Meaning are you likely to eat when you are feeling the stress or fill the empty noise with your words?
- Are you more of a paperback reader, e-reader, or no, I don’t have time when I am reading all these blogs?
- What’s more of guilty pleasure for you: sugar, wheat, or dairy?
- Do you dance more like no ones watching or do you prefer to dance in front of people to show off your cool moves?
- If you could achieve one thing as a writer overnight, what would it be?
- Which drama movie out of these do you enjoy the most: A Beautiful Mind, Goodwill Hunting, or The King’s Speech?
- Which book do you enjoy more out of these classics: A Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, or Fahrenheit 451?
My answers:
- I definitely like to talk but I probably stress eat more. lol. But I am working on it!
- Definitely paperback. I love to feel and smell the pages (as weird as that sounds). 🙂
- Sugar. I am addicted to chocolate. Do I need to say more?
- I dance all the time alone because I can dance any random way that I want to. 🙂
- The assurance that God has given me this dream to touch others, whether He gives me a prophetic dream or a sweet vision on how He is well pleased with me.
- Goodwill Hunting. What a great movie! Gotta love the tag team of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. And one of my favorite actors of all time, Robin Williams. He can do comedy and drama so well. RIP.
- A Catcher in the Rye. I can’t relate to everything in the book but I always enjoy coming of age books.
What are your answers?
Please feel free to share this post, so you can see your followers’ answer to these questions as well. Keep blogging, baby! 🙂

Here’s my answers:
1. I think that I’m such an introvert that the very act of talking feels forced, so I’m definitely more of a compulsive eater.
2. I don’t read books as often as I’d like, but although I, too, like the tactility and smell of paperbacks, I’ve gotten used to the utility of ebooks—a virtual library at my fingertips.
3. I’d say dairy here, as I’m not really a sweets person, and I love all things cheese.
4. I’m no Martin Short, so I don’t dance to impress. Lol
5. I guess step one would be to develop an ingrained habit of writing. That’d be a great start. If I could jump a few steps it would be to make enough off my writing to be able to write full time.
6. Its a toss up between goodwill and beautiful. I love the concept of a flower growing through the cracks of asphalt and the madness in genius.
7. Fahrenheit. Hands down. I felt like a dog that had its head tilted to the side for days after reading this.

Hey there Carly, thanks for the shout-out! I love your blog.
Let’s see, I’m definitely more of a talker. Paperback all the way, I can’t stand ebooks. Sugar in the form of chocolate! I dance whenever I feel like it whether or not people are around. I would love to be able to live comfortably (not extravagantly) off my writing so that I can focus more on my writing.
Hmmm never seen those but definitely Farenheit 451!

Hi! Thanks for the shoutout! 🙂 I do like random questions!
1. Are you more of a compulsive eater or talker? Meaning are you likely to eat when you are feeling the stress or fill the empty noise with your words?
Talker. When I get stressed, it usually comes with anxiety and panic which makes it nearly impossible to eat anything at all.
2. Are you more of a paperback reader, e-reader, or no, I don’t have time when I am reading all these blogs?
Paperback or hardback! Though lately, it has been the third option. After the Internet upgrade, I have been able to load so many fantastic blogs!
3. What’s more of a guilty pleasure for you: sugar, wheat, or dairy?
I would say sugar, but I love dairy. I was milk intolerant until I reached my 20’s, so now I probably eat more cheese than I should. 😅
4. Do you dance more like no ones watching or do you prefer to dance in front of people to show off your cool moves?
Dancing with no one watching, definitely. And I can’t help but dance when I hear this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px_aCjR5ZFA (I’m listening to it now and dancing while sitting here reading. XD)
5. If you could achieve one thing as a writer overnight, what would it be?
Bring someone to Christ – one saved soul would make it all worth it. 🙂
6. Which drama movie out of these do you enjoy the most: A Beautiful Mind, Goodwill Hunting, or The King’s Speech?
Is it a bad thing that I haven’t seen any of these? 😅
7. Which book do you enjoy more out of these classics: A Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, or Fahrenheit 451?
Again, is it bad that I haven’t read any of these? I do have The Great Gatsby and I plan to read it soon. 🙂
P. S.: In question 3, I think you meant dairy, not diary. 😉 I thought I’d mention that before I reblog. 🙂

1. Are you more of a compulsive eater or talker? Meaning are you likely to eat when you are feeling the stress or fill the empty noise with your words?
Answer-I don’t tend to be compulsive.
2. Are you more of a paperback reader, e-reader, or no, I don’t have time when I am reading all these blogs?
Answer – Definitely a paperback person. Although, I’m a bit hard on them.
3. What’s more of guilty pleasure for you: sugar, wheat, or diary?
Answer – Guinness
4. Do you dance more like no ones watching or do you prefer to dance in front of people to show off your cool moves?
Answer – I don’t dance.
5. If you could achieve one thing as a writer overnight, what would it be?
Answer – The perfect sentence.
6. Which drama movie out of these do you enjoy the most: A Beautiful Mind, Goodwill Hunting, or The King’s Speech?
Answer – I really don’t like any of those movies. I would recommend “Medea” by Lars von Trier
7. Which book do you enjoy more out of these classics: A Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, or Fahrenheit 451?
Answer- These are all classics from western Lit’s canon. Can’t say I like one more than another. I would rate them all 6 to 7 out of 10.
If stuck on a desert island, I would want Pynchon’s “The Crying Lot of 49” Woolf’s “To the Lighthouse” and O’Nolan’s “Third Policeman

Hey Carly!
Great questions. Here are my answers:
1. When I’m stressed I love to get straight on the phone to my mom, sister, hubby or best friend. I’ll moan for a bit, then they’ll pipe up and usually suggest we pray together. After that, I’d probably then stuff my face lol 😂
2. I’m a paperback reader all the way! 📖
3. I love sweets, especially haribos! 🍬
4. I’m absolutely terrible at dancing so I don’t tend to dance anywhere. I’ll stick to singing. 🎤
5. Confidence 😊
6. I ❤️ Goodwill Hunting
7. I’ve not read any of these books, sorry. Oh the shame! 🙈
Love Hayley 😊💕

1. Talker, although the noise is in my head. :):) I don’t like to “talk” about it, more so talk to the Lord in my head about it 🙂
2. Paper, when I read. AND no, I don’t have time when I am reading all these blogs 🙂
3. All 3
4. Like no ones watching

7. I wouldn’t pick any of these as most enjoyable books I have read :):):)
