Vital Stats and Appearance

Name: MiddleEarthMusician, aka Mem. XD (I can’t share my real name on the Internet, sorry.)

Nicknames: I have one nickname that is in relation to my name, and I can’t share it. XP The nicknames I have that are not in relation to my name are “Mem” (Jane's fault XD), “Bug” (family nickname), and “Shoo” (don’t even ask).  

Birthday: April 25^th

Hair Color and Length: Brown with red and gold highlights, and about 6 inches below my shoulders.

Eye Color: Erm…green is the closest color I can compare my eye color to. :-Z

Braces\Piercings\Tattoos: I have a piercing on each ear for earrings, as well as braces. (I am hoping to get another ear-piercing right above my current one…we’ll see what my parents say. XD) 

Righty or Lefty: Righthanded, but was born left-handed. (It’s a long story. :-D But I can do multiple things with both hands that most people can’t do with their non-dominate hand.)

Ethnicity: Caucasian and Native American

Firsts

First Novel Written: The first novel I ever wrote was one called “The Adventure of the Missing Will”, and it was about seven orphaned siblings who live in 19^th century London and witness a stranger stealing their parent’s will from the attic. There was an alleyway showdown, a lightening storm in the attic, and a piano recital in my story. Little 11-year-old me was bored and needed a project. XD

First Novel Completed: The one mentioned above. It took me one month to write, and was 5,966 words long. :-D

First Award for Writing: My 2017 Camp Nano certificate. I don’t know if that counts, but I was pretty happy with it. XP

First Publication: When I was 13 I entered a short story contest for a book series that I really enjoy. I won fourth place, and as a result was published in the book that they put out featuring the winners of the contest. (It was my first short story ever, so I was pretty shocked. Still am, as a matter of fact. XD)

First Conference: I HAVEN’T BEEN TO ONE YET. *cries*

First Query\Pitch: Unless you count all the stories I’ve pitched to the lovely IdahoReader, then N\A. 

Favorites

Novel (that you’ve written): Mission: Metal is my absolute favorite novel that I’ve written. Although Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates is getting pretty close…:-)

Genre: You aren’t just asking me to pick one, are you??? I can’t do that! XD I enjoy writing Fantasy (especially Dark Fantasy), Sci-Fi, Dystopian, Super Hero, and Pirate\Sea Faring Adventures.

Author: I cannot just pick one! J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, N.D. Wilson, Douglas Bond, S.D. Smith, Anne Elizabeth Stengl, Eoin Colfer, Jules Verne, and Brian Jacques are my favorites. <333

Writing Music: Epic Score and Two Steps from Hell.

Time to Write: Late Evening

Writing Snack\Drink: Gum and chocolate. Ooh, and lemonade. XD

Movie: NOOO!!! NOT ONE!!! I suppose I will just pick my current favorite one (LotR, The Hobbit, Narnia, Star Wars, and Marvel movies don’t count XD). Probably Lady in the Water or The Village. M. Night Shyamalan is an amazing director. <333

Writing Memory: When my character, Liam, from Mission: Metal decided to put himself in my story. That was an interesting day in my writing career. XD

Childhood Book: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis.

Currently

Reading: Dracula by Bran Stoker and The Ranger’s Apprentice: The Icebound Land by John Flanagan.

Writing: Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates.

Listening To: Nothing at the moment, but the last song I listened to was Something Wild by Lindsey Stirling.

Watching: Not any series, but the movie I last watched was Disney’s Oliver Twist starring Alex Trench and Elijah Wood. It was really cute. :-)

Learning: To loosen up and not think too much about everything. :-Z I am a very intense person, and since both my violin teacher and my Kung Fu master told me on the same day to loosen up, relax, not to think too hard about what I was doing; I suppose I probably should listen. XD

Future

Want to be Published: ABSOLUTELY. WITHOUT A DOUBT.  

Indie or Traditional: Traditional I think…I don’t even know what Indie publishing is…(isn’t Indie a type of music???)

Wildest Goal: I would love to get a book published, a music album released, and to make it to AGT with my Martial Arts dojo. :-D 

Well, that’s over. Your turn to talk!!! What are you currently reading? What is your favorite childhood book? And what is a wild goal that you have? :-D

Namarie!
