I'm a Bald Faced Liar
Mason Canyon at Thoughts in Progress has presented me with Lesa's Bald Faced Liar "Creative Writer" Blogger Award. Thank you, Mason.
The rules for the award are simple:
1. Thank the person who gave this to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you.
4. Tell up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth.
5. Nominate seven "Creative Writers" who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.
6. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.
Telling lies and writing fiction should go together like beer and pretzels. But I dunno. All those lies are about people who don't really exist. Since I'm nearly always up for a challenge, what's not to like about this one!
I've been reading how other bloggers have answered these questions, and I can only say I think I've led a sheltered life. So . . .
Here we go - six outrageous lies and one outrageous truth. Maybe. Can you spot the real me?
1. My mother taught me to play piano.
2. My father worked for the city.
3. My childhood dream was to be a veterinarian.
4. My first job was at a flower shop.
5. My college major was art history.
6. My seven children all live at home.
7. My live-in handyman was my sixth grade boyfriend.
Who am I?
I'll post the answer on Friday.

1. Ann Elle Altman at All Write With Coffee
2. Marisa Burns at Out of Order Alice

And you know you're so right about that lie thing. I used to think my tendency to fabricate stories to exxagerate the truth showed a lack of moral fiber. But actually it's just my writer self showing through.

I think you wanted to be a veterinarian when you grew up.
I think you worked in a flower shop.
It is fun to read what others are guessing is truth for you, and for me over at my place.
Though, must we confess at the end of it all?
I think number 3 is true, you wanted to be a Vet.
Best Wishes Galen.

I love lying don't you? Ok just for writing. ;)
I think your live in handyman was your sixth grade boyfriend. Who could make that one up?
