Alpha or Beta?

This is too cute not to share. There’s a quiz after you watch it, so don’t hurry off!

Okay, romance writers, testing your knowledge of All Things Hero-Like:

Is this guy an Alpha or a Beta?

If you fail, I’ll have to revoke your writerly credentials.

Letter Fun

Filched from Facebook.

Rules: It’s harder than it looks! (Says whoever wrote this, not me).

Copy to your own blog, erase my answers, enter yours, and tag 10 people. (Or not. I’m not. If you want to play, great. Let me know to go over to your site and read your answers. If you don’t want to play, no sweat!!)

Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. (Do not make up your own questions. It will just confuse me when I visit your site).

They have to be real… nothing made up! (Although who’s going to know if my answer to #18 is a lie or not is beyond me…Well, one person who reads this blog sometimes might know…).

If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can’t use your name for the boy/girl name question.

Ready? Set? Go!! (Yes, I added that part)

1. What is your name: Cindy

2. A four letter word: Crud (I decided not to go with the obvious R-rated words)

3. A boy’s name: Carl

4. A girl’s name: Carol

5. An occupation: Carpenter

6. A color: Cyan

7. Something you wear: Contact lenses

9. A food: Carrots

10. Something found in the bathroom: Conditioner

11. A place: Canada (hah, easy!!)

12. A reason for being late: Car conked out.

13. Something you shout: “Cowabunga!”

14. A movie title: Casper the Friendly Ghost

15. Something you drink: Coke

16. A musical group: Chicago

17. An animal: Cat

18. A street name: Creek Drive

19. A type of car: Cressida

20. The title of a song: Crazy for You.

Tag! Someone else is or isn’t it! Is it…You?

How Smart is Your Blog?

Not sure what this says about me:

blog readability test

Okay, to be honest, The Blog Readability Test isn’t so much about intelligence as it is about, well, readability. So, I am plenty smart, I assure you. It’s just my blog that’s not. Despite my advanced years, apparently it’s yet to graduate! :::sob::: Must be Elle’s influence.

How smart is your blog?

What’s Your Blogging Personality?

First things first, if you’re looking for my Box ‘O Books Holiday Give-Away, scroll down.

Second things second… Ever taken a Myers-Briggs or other personality quiz? How accurate do you find them? According to every version of Myers-Briggs I’ve taken, I’m an INFJ, which is pretty darn accurate. But now, look, you can ID your blog personality, too!  I found the Typealyzer courtesy of Marilyn Brant’s blog, who found it courtesy of Jenny Crusie’s blog.

According to the Typealyzer, the author of Muse Interrupted(which some might say is me, while others ascertain that it’s Elle Muse) is a “Doer.” Here’s the blippy, complete with a cute illustration:

ESTP – The Doers

The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical outdoor activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Hmmm, okay, this is sort of me, if you count sitting at a desk and playing with your pen as “action-filled work,” although I can’t say I’ve engaged in physical outdoor activities on purpose since I was a child. As a child, yes, I was outside all the time, and I considered myself a tomboy until I began to participate in team sports and discovered that I possess no physical coordination whatsoever. Once, after getting hit in the face with a softball, I struck out something like 30 times in a row at softball practice. The coach thought he could outlast my fear! Silly man. Let me state here, though, that I didn’t strike out out of fear, I struck out out of crappy hand-eye coordination. The crappy hand-eye coordination was the same reason I didn’t catch the ground ball that smacked my glasses.

As for that picture of the little girl…she looks like me as a kid, except I didn’t have boobs when I was 7! I barely had boobs when I was 17. Is it just me, or does she possess a rather curvy upper body compared to her face and height?

So, what’s your blogging personality? Plug your blog URL into the Typealyzer website and find out. Then report back to me. Because I just can’t sit still until I know!

By the way, for those interested, Jennifer Crusie is a Doer and Marilyn Brant is an Artist.
