Yes, yes, Geof, I heard you about the six questions bit<\/a>. Sigh, the rigors of being wanted. I will point out in passing that this meme is actually ten questions long.<\/p>\n

0) What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your name and website URL? (optional, of course)<\/b><\/p>\n

Stephen Granade. My website? You’re soaking in it.<\/a><\/p>\n

1) What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the most fun work you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever done, and why? (two sentences max)<\/b><\/p>\n

Maintaining a website about adventure games for a dot-com company back in the days when dot-com money materialized on every good kid’s doorstep. I got to talk to a lot of interesting people and play a fair number of good games, and–much to my surprise–I had a positive impact in several peoples’ lives.<\/p>\n

2) A. Name one thing you did in the past that you no longer do but wish you did? (one sentence max)<\/b><\/p>\n

Played in jam bands, whether jazz or otherwise.<\/p>\n

B. Name one thing you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always wanted to do but keep putting it off? (one sentence max)<\/b><\/p>\n

Write genre fiction.<\/p>\n

3) A. What two things would you most like to learn or be better at, and why? (two sentences max)<\/b><\/p>\n

Hm, that’s hard. The first thing would be learning to ignore guidelines when doing so would be beneficial.<\/p>\n

B. If you could take a class\/workshop\/apprentice from anyone in the world living or dead, who would it be and what would you hope to learn? (two more sentences, max)<\/b><\/p>\n

Chopin, though I have no idea what kind of piano masterclass he would give. I suppose I’d have to really brush up on my piano playing, though.<\/p>\n

4) A. What three words might your best friends or family use to describe you?<\/b><\/p>\n

Assuming the person in question isn’t mad at me when you ask them to describe me, maybe they’d go with empathetic, hard-working, and funny. <\/p>\n

B. Now list two more words you wish described you\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/b><\/p>\n

Relaxed; tall. Actually, I’m not sure I really care about being tall, but it might be cool to try out for a while.<\/p>\n

5) What are your top three passions? (can be current or past, work, hobbies, or causes\u00e2\u20ac\u201c three sentences max)<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Interactive fiction<\/a>.
\n2. SF\/fantasy, primarily written.<\/p>\n

Those are the two most consistent ones.<\/p>\n

6) (sue me) Write\u00e2\u20ac\u201cand answer\u00e2\u20ac\u201cone more question that YOU would ask someone (with answer in three sentences max)<\/b><\/p>\n

What are you most proud of?<\/p>\n

That one I’ll have to think about for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
