That’s right, tell me all about you.
This post is always open to allow new visitors to join in.
Don’t know what to say? Here’s some stuff to answer.
- Are you a frequent reader (whether you comment or not) or just a one-stop guest (you saw an awesome post you needed to read – ooo, do tell me which it was.)
- Do you write books? Any published? What are they called? If you’re a reader, what is your favorite genre?
- What’s your view on squirrels? Cute and cuddly or vicious and scary?
- Do you blog? What’s your URL? What do you blog about?
- Coffee or Tea? Cuttlefish or Jellyfish? Martians or Venusians?
I write books- not yet published.Fav genre- hmmm… all. Does that count?Squirrels?- take or leave em
Blog?- yes. http://tabithabird.blogspot.comI try to inspire a writer's heart.Tea or coffee?- TEA. I am half British afterall 
I write books, essays, blog posts. I'm querying my memoir manuscript, as well as a women's fiction ms right now. My blog, Whole Latte Life, looks at how we all live our passions. And regular coffee works best for me, with an occasional green tea in the wintertime
I always try to comment on your blog. You know about my book – and I like to read science fiction, fantasy, and thrillers. Squirrels are rodents. And I don't drink jellyfish.
ME! Why… I know the answers to THAT!Follower… try to stop in a few times a week at least…Writer… suspense, YA and Mystery (contracted for cozy)Squirrels are 'like creatures'–mischievous but mostly harmless… erm… and they get fat for winter…totally blog… you know where I live…Coffee in the am. Tea in the evening (herbal)… big… erm… on the fist… (to eat, or swim with?)… Venusians (LOVE NOT WAR!)
I stop by every few weeks as post topics grab me. I write and am currently querying a literary YA manuscript. I like to read contemporary YA, women's fiction and some adult literary: anything that strikes me a psychologically intriguing.Squirrels are darned annoying, if kind of cute. We have a special subspecies in my neighborhood: the Black Squirrels of the Wissahickon Valley (a mutation of the native red squirrel). They're the 75% more evil subspecies! More prone to eat your flowers and otherwise wreck your garden.You visit my blog all the time, so no news there…and I guess I'm neutral on most of the last topics except the fish. Jellyfish scare me big time. They keep me out of the ocean more than any other freaky sea creature.
* Frequent Reader – Well, I have you in Google Reader and I catch up on my feeds 2-3 times a week, so I'm usually fairly up to date on your blog. * Write Books – I love to write, but I struggle to find a dedicated time to do so. I've written one “full” ~teen novella (~180 pages) and I have another ~200+ work in progress. But I've never fully gone through the revision process to clean up the messes and make them ready for any mass consumption. * Squirrels are fine and dandy, but I generally prefer chipmunks. * My blog is titled cucullus non facit monachum, a latin phrase (referenced in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, I believe) about appearances being deceiving. I started blogging a “long” time ago (especially in Internet life span) and have covered a variety of topics. I try to review books I've read, movies/plays I've seen, games I've played, etc. I also give general updates on family and life as well as the random potpourri posts. * I don't drink coffee or tea…I'm a cocoa fan. Not a fan of any squidlike food, but I enjoy watching them swim. They're amazing. As for Mars or Venus, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any firsthand (at least as far as I know), so I withhold my judgement for now.
Frequent Reader. Check.Write Books. Check. Short stories and non-fiction published. Still working on a novel in the published column.Squirrels. Cute and vicious.Blog. Check. Under the Tiki Hut.http://www.underthetikihut.blogspot.comI blog about writing and whatever else strikes my fancy on Monday and Wednesday. Friday is always a Top Ten List.Coffee.
This is a cool post & I've enjoyed reading all the comments. Yes, I read your blog, but I have to forge ahead & announce that I'm a huge fan of squirrels. I was very intrigued to read about that mutation of red squirrels. I've read about red squirrels & they can be a bit more aggressive than fox or grey squirrels. I even have pictures of squirrels on my Facebook page & will be adding more soon.Yes, I blog, in fact, I have 2 of them. They're both listed in my profile. I also have 2 books on Kindle.Prefer tea & as for fish & planets, I'm not too fussy!

Sorry, I deleted my previous post due to some malfunctions with my keyboard and brain….*I am a frequent reader, I have your RSS on my google home page. I am sorry I am terrible at commenting.*I do not write books, I illustrate them. Although I would love to someday write a children's book. Lots of ideas swimming in my head, so maybe…*I own both rats and guinea pigs, so of course my answer would be love squirrels! *I blog about my art at http://loniedwards.com/blog. *Tea for the most part, although I love a good cup of java now and again.*I think both cuttlefish and jellyfish are beautiful in their own ways. * I would probably like both, although I have yet to meet either. I have a thing for certain Kryptonians. Does that count?
I think most of this you may know already, but it's fun, so here goes
I love reading.. I just finished the whole Harry Potter series 
And yes, I've almost completed my first novel ever… not published, but I hope one day it will be!Umm.. squirrels are crazy dare devils… you ever notice how they ALWAYS seem to dash across the road just as the car is coming?And these days…I'm an avid tea drinker 
I love squirrels. They are furry, adorable beasts.
I am working on a novel called “Sam the Squirrel.” Just kidding.
Yes, I'm a frequent visitor! I have a few books published by small independent companies. I love squirrels, I've always wanted to pet one. I drink both coffee and tea and I love all kinds of aliens, no matter where they are from!
You are hilarious!Okay, I'm a frequent flyer.I write books but unpubbed.

I like cuttlefish. they are super cool to see and good for eating (Hey, my peoples eat those things, so sue me!)And I'm with whichever aliens aren't going to eat me.
First of all, I can't believe I'm not already a follower. What happened there?Now, to answer your questions: * Are you a frequent reader (whether you comment or not) or just a one-stop guest (you saw an awesome post you need to read – ooo, do tell me which it was.)Hmmm, well I think I just answered that on the bit above. * Do you write books? Any published? What are they called? If you’re a reader, what is your favorite genre?I'm a writer. I write mysteries. My series has just been picked up by a publishing company. I love to read various genres however. * What’s your view on squirrels? Cute and cuddly or vicious and scary?I love them! * Do you blog? What's your URL? What do you blog about?I blog. I'm at clarissadraper.com * Coffee or Tea? Cuttlefish or Jellyfish? Martians or Venusians?Coffee. Cuttle. I love both planets.CD
My view on squirrels! bwahahaha! Even this question post is hilarious! You're terrific, but I like it better when you answer the questions and tell us private stuff about you,….teehee…I'm nosy that way!

~Ron
I write short stories, I've had non-fiction published. I have a novel WIP and I love to blog (since August)http://scribbleandedit.blogspot.coand create websites. I love good cups of tea and proper Italian coffee. I read lots love films and good TV. I'm new to your blog and I guess squirrels seem cute but could probably be vicious like any animal when cornered. Piscean ;O)
I blog, therefore I am.
First time reader who came upon this blog from the A to Z challenge site. I have had my own blog for 3 years now. I started writing when I gave birth to a stillborn daughter, but now I find myself writing about everything that happens in my life. http://lifewithoutbrenna.blogspot.com/My name is also Holli, but spelled differently (obviously!).
I'm a first-time reader, and I found you through the A-Z challenge.No published books, but maybe someday.I LOVE historical fiction, animal stories, family dramas, sci-fi, musician biographies, and my list of loved genres is always growing.Squirrels are CUUUUUUTE!
My blog ishttp://rachel-whitley.blogspot.comI'm a totally blind reader/writer, and I started the blog because I wanted to share my love of books with everyone. There are lots of book reviews, but I also try to include some (hopefully) funny/interesting stories about myself, or posts that will add something positive to the reader's day.
I'm a first time reader and I found you through the A-Z challenge.I write books, but none of them are published yet. I also write a lot of poetry, some of which has been published. My favourite genre to read is Romance (which is a pretty broad genre in itself these days), with Urban Fantasy and Fantasy a close second.Squirrels are cute – I was watching a couple of them play chase in my backyard just this morning.My main blog is Random Thoughts which has a set schedule Monday thru Friday. My other blog, Random Writings is a little more haphazard, but focused on writing.I'm a big tea drinker, my current favourite is a lemon-honey-ginsing green tea. Cuttlefish or Jellyfish? Are we talking to eat or to meet up with when swimming?Venusians are pretty hot, but Martians are real cool.
I found you through the A to Z challenge. I've been published in a number of regional newspapers. I've also published poetry and short stories. I have finished a book, but have not tried to submit it yet. I read all genres. Squirrels are cute and cuddly – from a distance. I drink my tea cold and love the smell of coffee, but I can't stand the taste. I can be found: http://writinginwonderland.blogspot.com/
I'm a speculative fiction writer who is about to have his first book, The Flettleglag Force, published in the not too distant future. I like to write sci-fi/fantasy/superhero fiction in particular. My site is at: flettleglag.blogspot.com.Looking forward to learning more about rocks and crystals from your theme during the A-Z Challenge!
Hi, I'm stopping by because of the A to Z Challenge. I'm not a frequent reader, because I just found you, but I don't plan on being a one-stop guest either. I'm an aspiring author who is about to start querying on a YA Fantasy novel, and I've been hopping around meeting other authors or aspiring authors.My favorite rock…hmmm…I live in Colorado Springs, so we have plenty of rocks, mostly limestone, sandstone and shale, I think, but I like opals, if those count as rocks. Or are they gems? They're just so simple, and yet so beautiful.I blog about my journey to publication at www.thewarriormuse.blogspot.comI'm sorry for your loss, and look forward to your posts.
Visiting from the A-Z Challenge! My son loves geology and I love how you've provided info on the gemstones for writing purposes! Very helpful! You can find me at The Modest Peacock
Charity Bradford said…I always read your posts in my google reader. Sorry I'm a lame commenter. I love to read and write sci-fi with a touch of fantasy. Nothing published yet, but I'm working hard on it.
Squirrels are cute seen through the window, but I don't want one in my house. They aren't very bright either, they are always jumping in front of my van when I'm driving.My Writing Journey, hot chocolate, cuttlefish? and definitely Martians. Love the Martians.
Tabitha, it does count!Joanne, I didn’t know you were querying two books right now. Cool.Alex, I’m surprised I pegged you for a jellyfish drinker. Hum.
N. R. Williams said…Hello … You already know me, but just in case someone else doesn't I'll give a brief bit of shameless self promotion.My high fantasy, The Treasures of Carmelidrium, will be available before Christmas on Amazon kindle. Yeah. Not sure what day yet.Once that is done I will begin working on two projects, the sequel to my high fantasy and a novella with a phoenix heroine, both are partially written.I blog…you didn't know that did you. LOLI also paint and draw, I will start on some projects with that too.I am a nice person, when my evil twin doesn't show up and refuses to do the dishes. Ugh!Enough for now.Have a great day.NancyN. R. Williams, fantasy author
Charity, I do more reading in my reader that commenting. It’s just inevitable. I’m no Alex.
Hart, yep this is an easy post.Laurel, I’ve seen black squirrels. They were totally wild as in odd and cool.Okie, I prefer chipmunks too.;) Someday I’ll write a post telling you why. For the record, I don’t eat cuttlefish or jellyfish either. N.R.I didn’t realize your realize was so soon.Carol I didn’t know you also did some non-fiction! See I am learning new things.
Ann Best said…Thanks for commenting on my post today.My youngest daughter Stephanie would say, “Don't you dare say you like squirrels.” They have eaten her flowers in her pots and caused other mayhem. All well. They ARE cute, I think. Though don't tell Stephanie I said this!! lolAnn Best, Long Journey Home
Ann I admit the put on a cute persona but I think it is all an act.NADIR! Picture of squirrels on facebook say it isn’t so.Loni, you know how much I love your illustrations; they have a whimsy to them that is unique. I do like rats. I think they are rather cute.WritingNut I’ve been drinking a lot of tea lately myself. It goes perfectly with chilly mornings (and evenings.)LR – Whew, you had me going there for a minute. And now I know you have a sense of humor.
Aubrie, you also seem to know about a lot of great anthologies and writing contents to enter.
Lydia, is cuttlefish chewy? – Wait don’t answer that.Clarissa, I think sometime blogger drops followers because I know I have followed people before and then I visit them again and it says I’m not. I think it’s a conspiracy.Sandra – is that the squirrels saying bwahahaha? Me thinks so.Susan, I read that as jellyfish martinis. I think I’m tired.The Old Geezer, I thought he might be a buddy of yours.
Nice to meet you Madeleine.
