June 22, 2011 | Road Trip Wednesday

Road Trip Wednesday is a “Blog Carnival”, where YA Highway‘s contributors post a weekly writing or reading-related question and answer it in on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody’s unique take on the topic.

You’re more than welcome to participate! Just answer the question on your own blog, and leave a link to it in their comments.

This week’s question: The house is on fire and you’ve only got time to grab five things. What are they?

1. My version 2 Nook
2. My iPod
3. My laptop
4. My sweater (because I get cold so damned easily)
5. My cat

Some probably would’ve put their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/whatev on the list. I did not, because that’s a given. For the purpose of this exercise, I’m assuming he’s grabbing his own 5 things. And hopefully it’s something more significant than the closetful of Kobe’s and Jordan’s.

This week’s question: Are you a plotter or a pantser?

LOL. Boy howdy, do I love answering this question. I am such a pantser, they’re slipping off my hips. On the two times I tried participating in NaNoWriMo, I tried plotting ahead of time.

Yeah, didn’t work too well.

I have a title, character names, and an idea. Then I just start writing. That’s basically how I roll.

It really has been a long time since I participated, so I thought I might jump in this time.

This week’s question: What’s the weirdest/strangest thing you have ever researched?

I’m going to start off by saying that next week’s question should be “what’s the coolest/most interesting thing you’ve ever researched”? I’ve got a better answer for that one than this one. I have yet to research anything weird and/or strange, but I plan to for one of the books in the DA series: human cloning. Don’t know if there’s anything out there on it right now, but hopefully there will be by the time I get around to writing it. LOL.

This week’s question: If your WIP or favorite book were music, what song(s) would it be?

My WIP will be the Draven series for a while, so if that series had a theme song, it would be the 80′s hit by Rockwell: “Somebody’s Watching Me.” LOL. For obvious reasons.

This week’s question: Compare your first kiss with your favorite characters first kiss

Well, my favorite character is Draven, and seeing as how she hasn’t had her first kiss yet, that’s not gonna help for this post. Ironically, or not, my first kiss was much like Skylar’s in my first book, SECRETS AND KISSES. Granted, I didn’t check out a how-to book from the library like she did, but I sure as hell wanted to. LOL. If the special moment ever came around, I was afraid I wouldn’t know how to do it. I crushed on so many guys during high school, but never dated. African Americans were the minority at my school, and while I was all down with the whole interracial thing, not too many guys at my high school were. At least, I don’t think they were.

My first kiss was with my first boyfriend, whom I didn’t meet until I started community college. He was white and kinda had the whole free-spirit-Brad-Pitt-in-Legends-of-The-Fall thing goin’ on. It must’ve not been that memorable because I don’t remember when it first happened or my reaction.
