Made me think
A couple of weeks ago I had come across a post on my personal facebook from an Author friend that made me think. She posted that someone asked her, "If you could speak to anyone, dead or living, famous or not, who would it be?"
I found the question intriguing. Her answer was herself, but like many of us, I talk to myself quite often. (laughing, but it's true) The scary part, is sometimes I answer back. Anyway, like I said, the question intrigued me. I didn't reply to her post because it really made me think.
As a writer the first person I thought of was, of course, another Author like Jane Austen or Hemingway. But then again, we already have biographies on them. So, then I thought of meeting an ancestor. Someone who can fill in my Ancestry dot com leaves. But again I thought, that would only take an hours conversation and I have so many questions about everything!
It took me, well, several days and I came up with the perfect person FOR ME. Imagine speaking to Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God himself. All the answers to all the questions you ever had right at your fingertips. I could ask questions like: Is there life on other planets? What was God thinking when he created mosquitos? To questions about my ancestors, and serious ones like religion. What a day that would be!
So, now I ask you... if you could speak to anyone, dead or living, famous or not, who would it be? Can't wait to read your answers! Until next time.

Crazy quirky author that plans to rule the world with great novels, barrels of delicious coffee, and tubs full of chocolate covered nuts!! Or at least one blog at a time.
