We caught up with A. A. Garrison this week to find out some more about this up and coming writer.
"I am a fan of fruits, in the vein of 'delicious and nutritious'." | "What's your favorite dessert?" |
"What's one of your favorite habits you have?" | "I look both ways before setting foot in the street, no exceptions." |
"My second-grade teacher stands out distinctly as my favorite. Why? Good question." | "Who was your favorite teacher? Why?" |
"Who is your favorite family member?" | "I can't play favorites when it comes to family. That's asking to get nixed from someone's Christmas list." |
"Light green, because it makes things that aren't money look like money." | "What color do you hate?" |
"What was your least favorite workplace?" | "Doing outside labor during allergy season." |
"Being three and drinking a soda, high on sugar." | "What is your first memory of being really excited?" |
"When was the last time you were nervous?" | "Before beginning this interview. (I'm not good at interviews.)" |
"Something far too long ago to remember. (Movies, TV, and books don't hit me that way.)" | "What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up?" |
"Is a picture worth a thousand words? Elaborate." | "It is, but the words rarely say anything, and what they do say isn't trustworthy." |
''I think my answer should involve vampire bats, but I'm not sure." | "What happens if Batman gets bitten by a vampire?" |
"Do pyromaniacs wear blazers?" | "Only when they aren't wearing sweaters." |
"Cormac McCarthy, because he's about the only writer I've ever seen who comes close to describing the indescribable reality of actual experience." | "Who is your favorite author?" |
"If you were a genie and a person asked you this wish: 'I wish you would not grant me this wish' what would you do?" | "Zap them into an Escher print." |
"I am preparing the release of my second novel, The Storms of Pemberton, a paranormal horror piece." | "Can you tell us about a project you are currently working on in one sentence?" |
"What is the most useful tip another writer has ever given you?" | "Use short sentences." |
"I have never tried (yet)." | "Can you write standing on your head?" |
"What is the worst thing anyone has said about your writing?" | "When they say, 'I don't get it'." |
"I can't play favorites here, either. Characters are just as temperamental as anyone else." | "Who is your favorite character of all your stories?" |
