Monday On Location: In My BRAIN ~illustrated FAQ~
For fun, we’re going to travel into my head and dig deep to get answers to important questions. Let’s start out with one of the most important:
Q: What’s your favorite color?
A: It used to be pink, but I grew up, oh, a few years ago. Now purple. Definitely purple. Hence the purple office.
Q: What’s your favorite ice cream?
A: Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. Duh!
Chey and fellow BMG, KT Roberts, eating World’s Best Ice Cream
Q: Is Cheyenne your real name?
A: I don’t think anyone my age is named Cheyenne. Here’s a clue in the pic below: I just celebrated my 50th birthday on August 1st.
Q: What kinds of cool things did you get for your birthday?
A: A lot. One is an amazing writer’s quilt my mom made that’s embroidered with wonderful writerly sayings along with my crescent moon name and logo. My dad gave me a gorgeous fiddle. I don’t play, it’s just something special since he collects fiddles.
Q: What is the funniest birthday gift you received?
A: A totally unintentional gift. My friend Jordan ordered a bunch of wonderful writerly and fairy stuff…And this sugar skull came instead of a journal. Hahaha! I thought it was from @TinaGerow ‘s son, but he said he wished he’d thought of it. No one new who it came from until we finally figured it out. I love it. I have both now and it looks cool in my office. :D
Q. What is your favorite writer’s saying?
A. Take a look, read it, and weep. It could happen to you.
Q: Where is one of your favorite places to go on a writer’s retreat?
A: Sedona. Ommmmmmm….
Q: When you’re home, where do you like to write?
A: I have a comfy recliner in my office, and then I have my outdoor office with a great view when we’re having our gorgeous Arizona weather.
Q: Do you have pets?
A: Three dogs–Nikki, Checkers, and Daisy. And here is my grandson pretending to be a fourth while they all sit on my youngest son, Evan’s uncle, who’s clearly thrilled. No, I don’t count Evan and Matthew as pets. They’re not well trained enough.
Q: At the WPA did you really shoot weapons of destruction?
A: This is a rubber gun.
Q: But did you really shoot a gun?
A: A police rifle. Great research. Would do it again.
Q: Who’s that wonderful woman beside you who takes after you?
A: One of my best friends, my mom, Karen.
Q: What is a Butterscotch Martini Girl?
A: They wear cute little bikinis and drink martinis. NOT. (Well, the butterscotch martini part is right!)
We’re a group of 8 writers, all but 1 in Arizona. I was an honorary BMG and just made a full BMG recently. I am quite honored. :) Here are four of the eight of us when we were brainstorming over breakfast!
BMG snark queens Kayce Lassiter and Tina Gerow
BMG mild mannered ladies (HA!), Tia Dani (1/2) and Chey
Q: What are are you working on next?
A: A Paranormal Romance series titled “Angels of Darkness.” This is my journal that I make notes in and jot down ideas for this series. :)
Thank you for joining me and taking a spin through my brain. If you have any questions for me to add to my FAQ, ask away!
