Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Questions I Would Ask My Favorite Authors (Living or dead. You can post 10 questions for one author, one question each for 10 different authors, or anything else!). For my list, I'm not directing them toward specific authors, but these are general questions that I wouldn't mind asking many favorite authors. Here we go, in no particular order:
Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?
What was an early experience where you learned that language had power?
What’s your favorite under-appreciated novel?
How do you select the names of your characters?
What books, films, and TV shows most inform the aesthetic of your book?
What's the strangest thing you had to do or research to create this story?
Which other genres would you most like to try writing?
Does this story have a soundtrack or a playlist that inspired you while you were writing it?
What is the funniest typo you’ve ever written?
As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below! What questions would you ask to some of your favorite authors?
I love your question about strangest things done while researching or writing a novel. I'd bet it would give some great answers.
ReplyDeleteMy post .
I expect it would! Thanks for sharing, Lydia.
DeleteI would love the answer to the strangest things they've done for their book!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday post.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would be very entertaining!
DeleteGreat questions and too the point on many things. A thought, you could do this by asking authors in TTT to answer those questions and then post them. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/08/ttt-082520.html
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good idea to me! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteGreat questions! I love the kryptonite and the one about language having power ones!

DeleteI love the typo question. I wonder if prolific writers could even remember one, but it would be a fun exercise to ask many writers that question. My TTT interview with Jane Austen
ReplyDeleteIt makes you wonder. Thanks for sharing!

DeleteI really like your third question and would love to know author's individual experiences with language and stories. Great questions!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alicia. I'm sure that there would be fascinating stories.
DeleteGreat questions. The typo question made me laugh. I bet there are some good ones, lol.
ReplyDeleteFor sure! Thanks for coming over, Suzanne.
DeleteGreat qustions! I always wonder about playlists or music that influences authors too, or that they listen to while they are writing. Also what books or shows influence their stories. :)
ReplyDeleteExactly. Thanks for coming over.
DeleteI love these questions! I bet you'd find a lot of interesting answers to the research question. Once I watched people get hit on the head with beer bottles (on YouTube) for research, because I needed to describe what that would sound like!
ReplyDeleteWoah!
DeleteWriting Kryptonite is sure to get some interesting answers! I enjoyed these thoroughly!

ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteSuch fun questions! I love the strangest thing done while researching. I'd be afraid to share that, I think. Along with my internet history. xD I'd be so curious about people's funniest typos, too!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised at all with some of the things we like reading! ;)
DeleteLove the questions you featured this week! I'm always really interested to hear about a writer's research process, so that would be high up on my 'ask list', too.
ReplyDeleteSo many great potential answers. :)
