So I’ve seen quite a few give aways on other blogs and Twitter and wanted to do one myself. I have no special reason other than I love giving gifts so you get to reap the benefits. I will ask a series of questions. Please answer in the comments section or if you’re secretive of your answers, you may DM on Twitter–seeredwrite. Closest to correct or most creative answers will win prizes! Up for grabs are: A copy of Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat, a cute Unicorno, and a movie. Movie choices will be: The Goonies, Skyfall, Princess Bride, Rise of the Guardians, Wreck-It Ralph, or Brave. I might throw in a few extra goodies in there 😀 So get those creative caps on and give me some fun answers! Give me really fun answers and hey there.
Ok, on to the questions!
1. What color is my hair?
2. What movie(s) have I seen over 50 times?
3. What is my favorite writing place?
4. What is my biggest pet peeve at my writing place?
5. What is my middle name?
6. What is my cat’s name?
7. What is my birthday?
8. What animal would my Patronus be?
9. What is my favorite Disney Princess?
10. What is my favorite candy?
11. How many siblings do I have?
12. Name a show I watch (hint: I’ve probably tweeted about it!)
13. What Kickstarter did I recently give to?
You have until Monday 3/25/13 8pm CST. Remember, creativity counts! Now go forth and have fun! 😀
seeredwrite 
BTW, I did it this way to see what kind of crazy answers you would give me and thought it’d be a fun way for people to get to know me a little 😀
1. Clearly you’re a redhead. Which means I totally envy you.
2. Your Twitter avi would suggest the answer is Brave. But that’s pretty recent, so Imma go with Goonies. Because you’re probably giving away one of your favorites.
3. You’ve tweeted about going to a coffee shop, so I’ll guess that.
4. The coffee always has a burnt umber aftertaste
5. Willamina
6. Angus. After Merida’s horse.
7. Tomorrow
8. Red fox.
9. Again I will defer to your twitter avi. Merida. Who is also my favorite. And the only one my 3yo can stand.
10. Jelly bellies
11. 2
12. Walking Dead (because doesn’t everyone?)
13. Given the gif you picked, I’ll guess you gave to the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter
Ok, this seems to be scaring everyone. I was hoping people would just make stuff up about me, but I don’t think I’ll have any takers. We’re going to plan B. I will repost!
1. What color is my hair?
I just asked my friend Norman to tell me what color your hair was based upon your avi, and he said “green,” but he is also red/green color-blind, so this may be incorrect.
2. What movie(s) have I seen over 50 times?
Over 50 times? “INCONCEIVABLE! I do not think saying you saw a movie over 50 times is what you think it means.” (Ahem, Princess Bride. p.s. I love you for that. p.s. Have fun storming the castle!)
3. What is my favorite writing place?
I’m guessing somewhere that has a laptop or other computer? Possibly a chair? Even a flat surface? Or maybe you’re like me and just write on the floor and on the go. Ideally, you like to write in a hammock suspended between two palm trees on a beach somewhere, so I could visit you.
4. What is my biggest pet peeve at my writing place?
That your hammock is actually suspended between two COCONUT trees and that they fall on your laptop during a strong breeze.
5. What is my middle name?
See Red Write. It’s “Red.” But why is your hair green, then?
6. What is my cat’s name?
Hmm… I’m allergic to cats, which is why I haven’t come over to meet your cat yet and learn its name. I’m going to go with “Kitty Boo Boo.”
7. What is my birthday?
Your birthday is the day when you were born, silly!
8. What animal would my Patronus be?
I would say a unicorn. Of course a unicorn.
9. What is my favorite Disney Princess?
Princess Leia, because Lucas and Disney are joint ventures now.
10. What is my favorite candy?
Gummies? Because all of my writer friends LOVE gummies.
11. How many siblings do I have?
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say 18.
12. Name a show I watch (hint: I’ve probably tweeted about it!)
Vampire Diaries. I am only saying this because I know a lot of people who tweet about this show, during which time I don’t look at my Twitter feed (so if you did tweet about it, I wouldn’t know, which means it’s possible – does that even make sense?)
13. What Kickstarter did I recently give to?
Kristen Bauer’s “Out For Africa” Save the Elephants Campaign. Because it’s the only one I know about (p.s. I gave to this and was rewarded with a print of Alexander Skarsgard – WIN WIN!)
1. I’m going to guess white, because that’s what your blog title implies, see red–white! Oh, I read that wrong? It’s write? Okay. Then I’ll guess blue. You write with blue ink, right? What was the question again?
2. I’d guess you’ve seen Princess Bride over 50 times, because I like you, and everyone I like has to have seen it at least 50 times.
3.Your favorite writing place is probably the imaginary writer’s retreat where we all live in a palace and are fed grapes and fanned by scantily clad native men.
4. Your biggest pet peeve is that they keep bringing drinks in hollowed-out pineapples, which are difficult to hold with one hand.
5. Your middle name is “Awesome”
6. My cat’s name is Morgan. So I’ll go with that.
7. Your birthday is the day we all get to throw twitter cupcakes and unicorns your way.
8. I believe your patronus would be a bear, but a bear like Merida’s mother, all proper and eating with utensils and everything.
9. Favorite Disney Princess, I’d guess Merida.
10. I assume your favorite candy is: Candy. Like, any kind of candy. Because who would turn down candy?
11. I assume all your siblings follow you on twitter, so I’m going to guess based on that. Maybe about 450?
12. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you tweet about Supernatural, but I might’ve dreamt that, or perhaps hallucinated it.
13. I hope you gave to Veronica Mars, but no judgment if you didn’t. Okay, a little judgment. 😀
P.S. I like making up facts about other people. It’s why I wanted to be a writer in the first place. So, thanks!
