Dec. 15-19:  In celebration of The Hobbit:  The Battle of the Five Armies, highlight one of your favorite characters from The Hobbit/LOTR film franchise.

I've watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy a few times, but haven't had the chance to see any of the hobbit films, though, I plan to soon. 

My choice for fave character in LOTR would be, hands down, Aragorn. Of course, part of the reason is that I adore Viggo Mortensen, but also, I love the character development of Aragorn and what he stood for.

Do you have a favorite character in the The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings film franchise/books?

December 8 - 12: Coffee, tea, or soda ... what's your fave beverage?

I heart coffee with a splash of vanilla syrup added. I try to keep it to two cups, for the most part, then drink water the rest of the day. 

What's your beverage of choice?

I participated in NaNoWriMo last month, and even though I didn't make the 50k mark, I'm glad I tried because I was able to write 36K that I can continue working on.
One thing that NaNo helped me with is my inner editor that usually refuses to go away... with NaNo, I HAD to put the blasted I.E. to the side and just write. And you know what? I loved the carefree-ness of it. I want to do that more often, then do my editing after it's written. I don't know if that will work with future works or not, but I'd like to think that it would. 
This month, I will finish this WIP. And hope that I can edit in January, instead of during... we shall see.

Dec 1-5: What holiday themed show/movie/book are you most looking forward to?

What holiday would be complete without A Christmas Story? It's a classic that my family and I watch over and over again during this season. 

My youngest and I both love How the Grinch Stole Christmas, so we'll be viewing that as well, a bazillion times over, too. :)
