I'm researching a book I started long ago, and Hubby wants to help. However, it's been a LONG time since we were teens, so we're asking for help. We want our adventure novel series to be as authentic as possible. Our three main characters are teens: 2 girls and 1 boy. Ages 15 and 16. They are home-schooled.
Can you please pass around a link to this post ... to all kids around this age that might want to answer our questions? E-Mail your answers and thoughts to: vikkibooks at yahoo dot com. Thanks for your help!
1. What is your favorite thing to say? Phrase, word, etc.
2. If you could have any kind of car, what would it be and what color?
3. If you could have an adventure, where in the USA would you go?
4. If you could have any kind of special power/ability, what would it be?
5. What is your favorite outfit/clothing to wear?
6. If you could change your name, what would you change it to and why?
7. Your favorite color, and number.
8. What do you talk most about with your friends?
9. What is your favorite subject in school? Your least favorite?
10. What do you want to learn more about?
11. If you have a job, what is it? What after-school job would you like to do?
12. What's your favorite book? Music group/singer? Painter?
13. Tell us anything you think might help us better write our characters.
I realize this doesn't have much to do with self-sufficiency in general, but for us, it does specifically. I used to write and publish, and have long wanted to get back into it as a means to provide an income for us so we CAN be self-sufficient. Many people find ways to work at home to enjoy their homestead. And as I said, Hubby (and even the Kid) wants to help. Your contribution to our story will be most wonderfully appreciated.
So... thanks again. If you add your first name, last initial, age, and state (or country), we'll thank you in the book! Vikki

I sent a link to my 15 year old daughter. She said she'd be willing to answer your questions. But be forewarned- she isn't your typical teen.

5. Long skirts that you can twirl in. :D
