FEBRUARY 5TH QUESTION: Is there a story or book you've written that you want to/wish you could go back and change?
To be perfectly honest, no. I have found some tiny mistakes in a couple of works that makes me cringe, but aside from a minor correction like a spelling mistake, I look forward and not back. I have enjoyed writing my stories, novellas, and novels. The only thing I might find time to change would be putting more striking covers on some of my older works. Over the years, the talent of digital artists using intricate digital programs for cover art has improved immensely. However, it would entail a lot of time. I would have to take the books back from my publisher to change the covers and republish. <sighing>
JANUARY 8th QUESTION: Describe someone you admired when you were a child. Did your opinion of that person change when you grew up?
Barbara Walters was one of the first female journalist in our country. She was a talented news reporter, writer, and t.v. personality. Her interviewing skills were top-notch in my opinion. My opinion of her never changed. I received a full scholarship to study journalism and communications at Point Park University, Pittsburgh, and learned how difficult it was for women to become part of the male-dominated world for all the various media outlets. I am pleased to have worked for radio, television, industry, and education, using my writing and technical skills. I was also able to easily make the transition to writing fiction, since I already knew all the rules of correct grammar, punctuation, and formatting.

And you blazed the path for other young women to enter journalism.
ReplyDeleteNever liked cliffhangers in books.
I admire you for always looking forward and not back. I can't say the same for me. I have seen book covers looking better these days and I think it's so much easier to get covers made.
ReplyDeleteI had seen Barbara Walters interviewing people on television but I didn't think how hard it had been for her to be a female journalist but I sort of know how hard it is for any female to be in a male-dominated world. Things are becoming better for women or at least I hope they are. Certainly, it's easier to find a female role models these days.
Have a lovely day.
Not to mention new covers would be expensive...
