saffronhareI'm not posting the conditions of this again. They're in the lead of the previous entry. However, taking the lead from chaosdruid, I may ask for questions from a few people whom I don't know as well, just to see.
1. What would you like to be doing, ten years from today?
I'd like to be working from home, doing the writing and publishing thing. No, I don't want to be running a big business. I truly want to be in a place where my income would be solid, but not the only thing supporting the success of the family goals. I want the freedom to garden and go running and be home when the girls get home from school. I want to have projects and cook dinner and volunteer. See? I'm a Cancer after all.
2. If you were suddenly in charge of the company you currently work for, what would you change about its business practices?
I cannot imagine such a circumstance. The business decisions necessary to satisfy a board or directors and compete profitably in the current market are not the sort of things I want to be doing at all, at least not on behalf of this particular company. And being half-assed about success is not something that sits well with me. I'd probably sell off the business and set everyone free to do something else.
3. What one book would you suggest that everyone in the entire English-speaking world read?
I haven't read it yet, but I think Good Night, Moon is close.
4. What did you do growing up that you hope your kids won't?
I hope they get through their growing-up years before they have to learn how to kill another person very quickly and quietly, how to spot a person carrying a concealed weapon, how to survey a scene for threats, and how to dissect a situation for escape routes and weapons of opportunity. I learned all this before I knew how to drive. Hell, I knew how to kill before I knew how to kiss. A very tough filter of behaviors to un-learn.
5. What, if anything, do you feel like you missed out on in life? Can you go back and do it now?
I think I missed out on learning how to play just for fun. I don't know how, but I'm starting to learn in very small (and, as some would say, sort of pathetic) ways.

3. In terms of performance skills, which do you think you're strongest at: singing, dancing, or acting? Is that what you get to use the most often? Why or why not?
4. Who are your favorite folks to interact with out at Faire? (Maybe it's a particular type of patron, or other performers. You pick.)
5. If you had an opportunity to adopt another animal, as a "pet" for Racer the Pooh, would you? What kind of second pet would you consider, if any?
