My Life as a Book Meme
As if I didn’t have enough things to do today, the day before Christmas, I decided to write a meme. (As if you had nothing else to do, but play along.) But in the days after Christmas, when things have settled down and life is sweet, I’d love to hear your answers.
Confession: After writing up the questions, I’m a little reluctant to answer. So for all you brave of heart, have at it!
To play along just copy this meme, along with this link back here, and invite others to join along. I’d love to see how far this meme reaches!
If your life was a book, what Genre would it be and why?
Definitely Women’s Fiction. With childhood divorce and insecurities, a wacky, yet lovable dysfunctional family all set in NY, what else could it be…besides a Janet Evanovich comedy.
Would it be a stand alone or a series?
Hum, I’m already stumped at my own question. I definitely see a generational series. Something like writing the stories of my grandmother, mother, sister, myself. All women’s fiction with similar themes.
What would the title of your life’s book be?
Another tough question , I thought about The Pursuit of Happiness, but that’s already been taken, then there’s Sin’s of Thy Father, think that one’s been overdone, how about Roses are Red? I can definitely write a series using that as a first title.
What’s the spiritual theme of your book?
No matter how much we crave attention and unconditional love from those around us, only Jesus is able to give us the love and acceptance we desire and need.
What would your goal be?
To be accepted and loved, unconditionally.
What’s the motivation for your goal?
A series of rejections in life from childhood divorce, to losing good friends, boyfriends, etc.
Who’s your hero?
I’ve never written Women’s fiction and not sure if there HAS to be a certain person as a hero. But I’d have little heroes along the way like my 7th grade Math teacher who invited me to his Baptist church. My Assemblies of God Youth Pastor among others.
But underneath the surface, my hero would be Jesus.
What’s your conflict?
I haven’t fully grasped the concept that Christ is the one who should fill this need in my life, and I still crave acceptance and unconditionally love from others.
Who’s your antagonist?
My self, members of my family.
Where are you in your life’s book? (The beginning, middle, end, have you reached your black moment, are you into your resolution?)
I’m past the black moment. At least in the first couple of books in the series, but I see a new book/chapter opening up with my mom moving to town. There might be some issues that need to be worked out between mom, sister and me. That should make for interesting reading!
Is there a happy ending?
Definitely! Just not sure how it all ends…yet.
And now what is a Meme without a tag:
