Author Guess Who #2


Well, it's time for another Author Guess WHO!  You'll have a couple of weeks to guess the author. Good luck! Sorry about the lack of extra formatting. Posting using my phone.


What is one thing that most GA members might not know about you?
I’m a loner.

What prompted you to write your first story?
Therapy.

What genre of books do you enjoy reading and have you written for that genre?
I enjoy reading history either fictional or non-fictional, and I tend to write in that genre. 

Is there a genre that you haven’t written for that you would consider trying later on?
I used to read a lot of sci-fi as a kid, and I’m tempted to give it a go.

What do like most about publishing on GA?
The readers, especially the members who contribute with comments and reviews. They’re a discerning bunch who know their onions, so I have to work hard to keep them happy, but the feedback can be priceless.   

Do you have any unique writing habits or rituals to help you get into a writing mood?
I have plenty of rituals and habits but luckily not when I’m writing.

How has your writing style evolved over time?
I hope so. It has certainly improved. I don’t like people reading any of the early stuff I wrote because it’s so bad. I’m under no illusions, I know I still have a long way to go.

Do you have a significant other?
Haha. I refer back to my first answer. 

Do you have any pets?
Yes, one. That’s more than a one-word answer, right? I have to be careful here, any more may give the game away. 

Do you post multi-chapter stories as you write? Do you wait until you’ve finished writing the entire story? Or is it something in between?
I’ve done both, but it’s definitely easier writing the whole story first. Every new story I write now is finished before I start posting, the most I do is little edits here and there. 

What is your favorite television show?
I like documentaries and comedies but I haven’t got a favorite. 

What is your favorite movie?
Terminator2. I’m a sucker for Arnie in his prime.

Do you write poetry? Prose? Or both?
I think it takes a special talent to write poetry, which I haven’t got. I’ve tried but will never post.

If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be?
I would like to say someone noble like Nelson Mandela, but if I’m honest, it would probably be someone more devilish and lesser known like Peter Cook (look him up). He has made me laugh like no one else.

What would you say is your greatest accomplishment?
Being able to recognize mistakes I’ve made in the past and learn from them has made me a better person. I don’t know if that’s an accomplishment or not, but there are a lot of people who can’t do that.

For every guess I make, there’s a question that eliminates them. 🤔

With history, I would have guessed @Mark Arbour, but I don't think he is single :unsure: But to add fuel to fire, he is American but spells arbour the correct way :P 

 

I have another guess, but if it is this person, than Renee is just mean to use him 0:)

I'm going to hazard a guess and say @Dodger

 

I think there are hints of having written several stories over a long period of time, and that doesn't fit @Dodger - yet.

eg 'the early stuff I wrote' and 'Every new story I write now'

Yeah, and what you've quoted @Timothy M. is why I think my guess is probably wrong...

Notice... @Dodger hasn't posted in here yet, to try and dissuade us from guessing him. With as many times as we've said his name.

Hmmmmmm

While I appreciate all the publicity, it's back to the drawing board for you lot I'm afraid. I begrudgingly admit there are some similarities here. I do have a pet and an interest in recent history. However, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not my favourite actor, and Peter Cook is probably a bit before my time (according to Wikipedia, he's been dead for nearly 25 years).
