Ahhhhh, we've arrived at the Blog Child.
Yep. You read that right. Phoenix is my blog child. Late last summer, after lurking for months on end, she finally fessed up to her love of the Cake Eater Chronicles and told me something that still shocks and amazes me even today: she read my blog before she read Drudge. Woooooh. Thus began an email correspondence, which, after a while became quite screedy. This resulted in me telling her to start a blog.
Which she did. She also volunteered to be interviewed. Hence, I am now going to ask her five questions. She can find all of the stuff she needs to post with her answers right here.
And away we go.
1. You, Phoenix, are a midwestern girl. Born and bred in the heartland. Explain for the folks on the coasts (and around the world) what it's like to live here. Detail the pros and cons for them.
2. Your work has something to do with Agribusiness, which some people consider to be a dirty word. Give me an example of one common misconception you run up against in regard to the field you work in. Lavish us with the details of what you would say to these people if you didn't have to worry about being rude.
3. You enjoy baking. What has been your most spectacular success in this field, and conversely, what didn't work out so well?
4. You're an anonymous blogger. Why did you choose to blog anonymously? Do you feel it gives you more leeway to write certain things than if you attached your name to your work? Do you ever feel the compulsion to fib to your readers, knowing full well that they'd have no idea if you were telling the truth or not?
5. How did Prince Charming propose?
I will update when Phoenix answers.
