If I had to describe myself, it would be in a word that has many meanings with a complexity which falls off the tongue.
A word made up of many elements, is deceptive in appearance, and creates an illusion from the imagination.
My word would be Phantasmagoric. ~Summer Ross

 Q:
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when your significant other says "Can I read something to you?"

Many Man's Answer:

"Please don't let it be boring, so I don't hurt her feelings"

Q:
Do you have a memory about your significant other and writing that you think is funny, sad, unhappy ect...?

Manly Man's Answer:


"The morning that she found out she had won a short story in a publication and got her first paid poem published all on the same morning"

Q:
How do you feel about pens?


 Manly Man's Answer:

"They write what is there to feel? Unless you are obsessed like someone I know."

Q:
Whats the best part about having a writer for a significant other?

Manly Man's Answer:

"Knowing every thing you do has a chance of being immortalized forever in literature."

Q:
What advice would you give someone who wants to date a writer?

Manly Man's Answer:

"Be ready for them to suddenly jump up mid conversation grab a note book and start scribbling while muttering what a good Idea."

Love these, and "manly man's" answers :) I'm scared to see what my "manly man" will say.

Wendy Tyler Ryan said...

Very sweet of you to participate. Sometimes it's hard for us writerly type to understand why everyone doesn't want to put fingers to keyboard. You are a good sport.

"Immortalized forever in literature" - that's good!
