9. Do you wish to be a writer?
Yes, I love writing and have dreamed of being an author since probably elementary school. I’m actually working on my first novel now, although I’m kind of stuck in this awkward middle-of-the-book-and-I-didn’t-outline place. (I really do need to outline stuff first.)
20. What is your favorite genre?
Fantasy, hands down. It’s most of what I read, and I love worldbuilding and figuring out how magical elements can exist in our world and writing characters that interact with magic and monsters and otherworldly events. I was introduced to fantasy with the Harry Potter books, and I never looked back. (I do like sci-fi a lot, though.)
26. Do you like when books become movies?
Honestly, I don’t really have an definitive answer for this one. I always get pretty pessimistic when I hear a book’s being made into a movie, but I still get excited because it’s interesting to see a story you like on screen, even if you know there’s a fair chance you’ll be ranting about it for the entire car ride home (*cough* Sea of Monsters *cough*). I’m okay with movies for books I’m pretty neutral about (The Hunger Games, Divergent), but with books I care about I just automatically set myself to defend the book from the horribleness of the movie, and keep a little bit of hope that it will actually do the book justice because I know that actually does happen (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.) But I guess overall I’d have to say no, because too often the movies just make me furious and then I have to explain to people who only saw the movie why it is nothing like the sheer awesomeness that is the book…
