Q&A

Let's Get Super Friendly!

Hello Super Friend,

In case you missed it, over the last few months I shared about the numerous inspirations that shaped HER SOUL FOR A CROWN. I’ve now shared a book playlist, a mehendi mood board, a few author photos, a sari and jewelry moodboard, and finally a journey of food through pictures!

Today, I’d love to get to know you better. We’re friends after all, and friends know random yet fun facts about each other. So, feel free to answer any or all of these questions in the comments!

1. Where did you come up with all of this fun questions?

   Honestly, I stole borrowed most of it from one of my favorite author’s newsletters! You should totally check out Scarlett St. Clair’s Substack, as well as her books!

2. What’s your favorite time of day?

   Morning. If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be a morning person I would have laughed. But it was actually ten years ago that my schedule changed, meaning I had to be awake and functioning very early, that was the catalyst for me realizing that I am actually the most energetic and creative before noon. Specifically between 7-11am.

3. What’s one vice you wish you could give up?

   Is anxiety a vice? Lol

4. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?

   “I loved your book.” I’m a newbie, so I haven’t heard this very much. Second best would be that I’m a very determined person.

5. When are you the most inspired?

   When I’m experiencing someone else’s creation. That could be a book, a movie, a piece of art, or visiting a new place.

6. Sweet or savory?

   Savory! Bring on that rice.

7. What makes you smile the most?

   Is it too cheesy to say my husband? Okay, okay, it is. K-dramas, anime (except for THOSE scenes. IYKYK.), cheesy Christmas movies, when I tell a joke that hits.

8. Window or aisle seat?

   Aisle

9. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done in your life?

   Moving to a new city where I knew no one but the two roommates I moved with.

10. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received?

    Failure is the staircase to success.

11. What are you currently reading?

    I’m re-reading Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher (yes, I am obsessed) and listening to The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

12. How do you start your day?

    With a cup of hot water before breakfast. Yes, seriously. Hot water is good for you, I swear. And it’s nice to warm up with something. Also, I can’t have caffeine and I don’t like drinking teas constantly throughout the day. Plus, water is just delicious.

13. What’s your favorite holiday?

    Thanksgiving! The whole focus is getting together with loved ones. The only thing you need to bring is an appetite. (And maybe something you made or bought with love).

14. What’s something you always travel with?

    Snacks. Some people are water goblins, but I’m a snack goblin. I’m like a soccer mom with a purse full of snacks, but they’re not for a kid, they’re for me.

15. What’s your favorite color?

    C’mon, we can’t be friends if we don’t even know this basic fact about each other. Purple!
