Robin Morgan (robinleighmorgan) The funniest or should I say weirdest question happened in the first blog interview I did:

February 28, 2013 – Dorothy Dreyer
http://we-do-write.blogspot.com/2013/...

Where I got asked:
What's the weirdest thing you've Googled?

The answer I gave was:
One of them would definitely have to be to find out what a “Spotted Dick” is.

Does anyone do interviews on your blog, I "might" interested in any funny/weird question[s] you have.

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 266 comments Depends if it is fictional or a real person.

Hmm Fictional Dr who - because he is call (although would have to be a female time lord) or Bugs Bunny:)because he gets to be really sarcastic in an amusing way.

Real person - no idea actually.

J.V. Stanley (jvstanley) | 3 comments I've interviewed authors for Miracle E-zine, namely Victoria Selene Skye Deme (amazing poet) and surprisingly didn't ask any off the wall questions. I need to think of some now for future interviews.

As an author, and a writer very nearly all of my life, I haven't really been asked many questions about it other than "When is your book coming out?" or "Do you really think you can get yourself published?" "Can I get your editing services for free because I asked?" (the twentieth person I spoke with directly in a single day)

I think my favorite question though is this one:

"Where do you get your ideas?"

"You know all those hours I spent as a kid reading, or sitting doing nothing for hours just daydreaming and listening to music? Well, I'm doing the same thing except my fingers have developed a twitch. I have harnessed the power of this twitch and put it to a keyboard and taught them how to spell words without looking." :)

Rosanna Leo (rosanna_leo) Actually a clever author friend once asked me to list the 5 books my HERO loves best! It totally stumped me! I had to think hard about that one!

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 266 comments Not via blog but RL questions. I used to work in a book shop, here is a list of really daft questions I was asked:
Do you have a book - it's blue?
Do you sell fireworks?
Do you have that book I saw on TV?

Blog wise - not sure, only done a couple of interviews:)

That is actually pretty good.

That's hysterical :) Writers need to know weird stuff.
If someone checked my browser history I'd be in serious trouble, LOL.
