My blurby thing for the novel racers
Liz Fenwick asked me for a blurb about myself and my current novel as a part of the novel racers experience. I am criminally overdue in completing it. Not being good at blurbs, I decided to do it as an interview instead...
Moon Topples: Let's play "Questions."
Liz Fenwick: How do we play?
MT: Like tennis, but we can only converse with questions.
LF: (slowly) Okay...I'm not sure you've explained it all that well.
MT: But you think you understand enough to give it a whirl?
LF: I suppose.
MT: I win!
LF: Well, we hadn't started yet.
MT: Hadn't we?
LF: (sighs) Would you like to tell me about your book?
MT: The one for novel racers?
LF: Are you working on more than one?
MT: Is that bad?
LF: Is that why you're progressing so slowly?
MT: Is that a dig about my word count?
LF: Are you a little self-conscious about that?
MT: Should I be?
LF: Did you know that some of us have already completed our first drafts?
MT: So I've lost already?
LF: What are you writing about?
MT: Are you asking for a plot summary?
LF: Is that how you've interpreted my question?
MT: During a game of questions?
LF: Would it hurt to try?
MT: It might.
LF: Ha!
MT: Dammit.
LF: I've won. Now go update your links section and admit that you are a culpa.
MT: Me? A culpa?
LF: I accept your apology.
Update: I have updated the links to include all of the Racers. In the sidebar, under "Novel Racers"

So what's this novel racers thing all about? I think I might be really bad at your game, do you? Yeah, I'm giving up now, but it was a fun interview.
Too funny! I always enjoy your "interview" posts.
Love it Maht, but I am none the wiser about you......will cut and paste so you are counted again among the novel racers :-) BTW You made me much harder on you than I would have been and if in my normal form I would have pulled out your whole life story especially romantic details or more if we were sharing a small tipple over while interviewing!
A tough nut to crack. Brazil, I think - oh no that's going too near Puerto Rico again...
So you dye your river green - that's not very environmentally friendly is it?
Quite Socratic... and clever, and funny.
I like that!

That? was? informative?
Oh, mea culpa before I've even started! I am a failure at the questions game, total and utter!
I think it was the best set-up for a good pun that I've seen in awhile - which may say more about my sense of humor than anything else.
Ver: Glad you liked it. Keep honing your Questions skills.
Struggles: Thanks. They are always so much easier than actual interviews.
Liz: Sorry to make you seem meaner than you really are. As for what a real interview might uncover, you'd be surprised how cagey I can be.
Cailleach: They assure us that the river dye is totally eco-friendly. Why would the city of Chicago lie about something like that?
WS: Thanks.
HinSF: L? O? L?
Minx: Well, with that attitude, you always will be.
Ian: Don't fret. It also says a fair amount about my sense of humor.
