  This is an interesting one. I’m curious to see what you guys say in response! I don’t remember ever believing in Santa as a kid. I remember knowing it was my parents. I remember being impressed when my Dad cut out hoofprints and placed them in a trail through the house so I’d think READ MORE

  This is an interesting prompt. I’ve never really thought about it before. I think there are a few different things that can spark my creativity. If I’m traveling in a new place. Something about seeing new things, observing a different way of life, tasting new food, doing new things. It always gives me a READ MORE

  So I’m going to be that party pooper who really just isn’t into this prompt. First off, I’m an import. Sort of. My parents came here the year before I was born, and I grew up in their culture and mindset. I don’t feel particularly connected to Canada or Canadian culture, so things like READ MORE

  Well this could be the shortest post ever written, because my blunt answer is: all of the above. Reading is reading, yo. That said, I do have preferences. I enjoy most either a nice, crisp floppy-covered paperback or a new hardback that still springs shut when I try to open it. But I enjoy READ MORE

  I’ve never been that much of a Halloween participant, but since moving to an area with more families, we do try to provide treats for the neighbourhood. Usually most of the candy goes, but there’s sometimes a bit of leftover. And I do have my favourites. I’m okay with the sweet tart candies, but READ MORE

  Oh man, I am SO not the right blogger for this prompt! Scariest book I’ve ever read? Does The Fantastic Mr. Fox count? Things got pretty rough for that fox for a while there. I think, real answer, probably one of the (very few) Stephen King books I attempted to read in high school. READ MORE

  This is an odd prompt, as it’s not something I’ve ever had to consider before. I’m not even sure I have one. What qualifies as a talent, anyway? The only thing I can think of is that I have a gap between my front teeth, and if I want to I can shoot water READ MORE
