Strike Three

I go down swinging in my third at-bat during the Medium Question Answering Game

I haven’t been writing much in my Medium Scrivener file this past week. Mainly due to my final push to finish my novel. I set a goal of finishing before I am 60. I’m close to completing the story, and closing in on 60—in July—so I need to finish it up. I am also in the process of compiling my Medium stories into a book for the three people who might actually want something like that.

So I thought I would take the easy way out and answer some more questions that have been presented by three writers who responded to my questions or tagged me.

If you are already sick of me answering questions, there is no need to continue reading. If you are looking for some snappy answers, there are a few. If you just want to know me better, what’s wrong with you?

Tommy Paley Questions

If you could be inserted into any piece of fiction as an additional character, which book would it be, and how do you see yourself interacting with the established characters?

Lord Of The Rings. Mostly just eating second breakfast with the hobbits. And saying, “I already did pass, Gandalf. Oh, you’re not talking about gas?”
