1. Book or movie and why?
Depends on the time of day. I typically read during the day, unless I'm trying to finish a book quickly, then I'll read at night too. My husband and I enjoy watching movies together in the evenings.
2. Real book or e-book?
Real book, all the way. I don't even own an e-reader yet - shocking, I know.
3. Funniest thing you've done in the past five years?
A couple years ago I went out to eat at a nice Japanese restaurant with some of my gal pals from college. It was one of those places where the cook makes your meal right there at your table. He was frying up shrimp and chucked the tails onto our plates to be funny. Not being a shrimp connoisseur, I put the tail in my mouth. My friends got a good chuckle.
4. How would your best friend describe you?
Hmm. Caring, hard-working, and hopefully, real - that I'm myself around others.
5. How do you put yourself into the books you read/write or the movies you watch?
With my writing, I try to imagine how I'd think/feel or react - other times I try to dig into the characters and decipher how they would think/feel or react.
6. Favorite kind of car and why?
A vintage car, like this 1930s roadster or this 1957 Chevy. My husband and I have even talked about restoring old cars like these some day.
7. Would your choice party be a catered meal or a BBQ out back?
Definitely a BBQ out back - that way I wouldn't feel bad about using paper plates and cutting down on the dishes!
8. What's your favorite season and why?
Fall. Love the colors on the mountains and trees, and the feeling of change in the air.
9. What specific lesson have you learned - spiritual, educational, occupational?
Worry and stress do nothing to actually solve a problem. If only I could remember that!
10. Besides writing, what's your favorite thing to do when you get extra time?
Digital scrapbooking or reading.
11. What's one place you can be found at least one time every week?
Choir rehearsal.
I was also tagged by Melissa Sugar in the Lucky 7 MEME tag. The rules are to go to the 77th page of my manuscript, find the 7th line and copy down the next 7 lines/sentences. For fun, I pulled out my only real attempt at writing a contemporary romance, which alas, I never finished.
The smile on my face went stiff. I considered fleeing inside, but Lance watched me with those mesmerizing eyes. “Sounds great. How about six?”
“Six it is.” He grinned, and my pulse sped up. “Good night, Eva. See you Monday at staff meeting.” Stepping up beside me, he brushed my cheek with his warm lips, then he walked to his car.

Now it's your turn. In lieu of tagging, you can answer any of these fun questions from above: Are you a fan of real books or e-books? What's your dream car? What's one place you can be found at least once a week?

No dream car because I don't care. lol Fall is my fave season too! And surprisingly, I've found reading on my Nook to be completely painless. I prefer real books though because I'm less worried about breaking them.
I love books and my Kindle. If the story is good enough, I'm lost in it regardless of the format. Real books have the pretty covers. But I love getting to take the bulk of my library with me when I travel. :)
Fun getting to know you more, Stacy!
I keep going back and forth between spring and fall. Really liking spring right now. ;)
And that shrimp tail story is excellent!

I like books on my Kindle, but I still adore print books. Kindle is convenient.
I love that you're a paper plate gal. I'd pick BBQ for the same reasons! :)
Thanks for playing, Stacy. I enjoyed learning more about you. Love the car pics.
Jessica - LOL! Maybe one of these days I'll get an e-reader, though it'll probably take me a bit to learn how to use it correctly. My Smart Phone was smarter than me for a while. :)
Melissa - I do love the pretty covers too, but the portablity of an e-reader is appealing.
Wendy - I do love nice spring days too, though our weather here has been funny. Days in the 60s, then snow storms. :)
Jessica - Love that you're a paper plate gal too. I'm all about keeping the clean up to a bare minimum.
Sandra - It was fun to search for pictures of a couple of the antique cars that I like. Thanks for the tag!
Fun learning more about you, Stacy!
I love the Corvette. Always have since I was small. I hope to own one someday.
Loree - Me too! Wouldn't that be a fun car to take on a road trip? :)
Real all the way baby :) And I love you excerpt!
How cool about the cars, Stacy! I never knew that about you. I can see your family going on a road trip in one of those puppies someday. :)
Well I'm glad you like real books and I'm not the only one remaining:)) Loved reading about you.
Angela - Thanks! Maybe some day I'll revisit that story - I still like the characters even if the plot needs some serious work.
Sarah - A road trip in one of those would be fun - maybe just with the hubby and me though. :)
Terri - Hurray! Someone else who hasn't converted to e-readers yet. :)
Great info Stacy. I don't own an e-reader either. I want one, yet I don't. I love the feel of a book. Love that roadster.
Also congrats on your book deal. I went through a weird stage where I wasn't commenting on anything, but I did read about it.
Mary - I'm with you - the pull is strong to buy an e-reader, but not strong enough yet. :)
