1. What blog post are you most proud of? Link us to it.

I’m proud of the work I’ve put into the prompt series, and I’ve actually got a lot planned in the coming months. I will be launching a more generic series, which caters to non-fiction because, let’s face it – we live our own story everyday! Featured Fiction, which is part of the Prompt Series, is also something I’m developing and I love creating new challenges every week.

I do, occasionally, write about life in general on here, and so I’m going to point you to a post others particularly liked (it’s short and sweet too!). Weekly Photo Challenge: Family

2. What does your blog screen name mean?

The idea behind Writing Room 101 was to create a meeting place for all those interested in the art; the reader, the writer, even the candlestick maker. An area to share experiences, discuss, debate and learn from each other. It’s all about the collaboration, and pretty much anything goes – in the room!

3. Do you have a collection of anything?

Books! I have hundreds. I have far too many book cases, and having just moved house, the twinges in my back from carrying box after box of books is enough to steer me towards a Kindle!

4. Do you prefer face-to-face communication, talking on the phone, or texting?

I’d like to think I’m a good communicator, especially given the fact I’m an interpreter. But if I’m being honest, I communicate best through the written word. For those I don’t know particularly well,  I lean towards text.

5. What sound do you love? What sound do you hate?

I love the sound of laughter; it’s contagious and it instantly lifts my mood. I hate the sound of wasps…that buzzing that stays with me long after the culprit has gone and has the ability to reduce me to a gibbering wreck!
