1. When have you recently been the ringmaster?
Whenever stuff needs to get done in/around the house, I’m the ringmaster. Which I generally hate, since being the ringmaster often borders the line of nagging. And I HATE being put in that position.
2. When have you recently walked a highwire?
Recently? I don’t think I have. Which I will take as a win.
3. When have you recently been an acrobat?
I recently had to go through some mental gymnastics while working with some plot points in the book I’m currently writing. Does that count? I had a couple things I wanted to happen but couldn’t find my way from point A to point B. But it all came together in the end.
4. When have you recently been a lion tamer?
All the damn time. I seem to be the one who is ALWAYS the tamer of wild beasts!
5. When have you recently been the strongman or strongwoman?
At least 90% of the time. One thing I’ve learned… being strong is all well and good, but there’s a downside to it. At some point, the people around you see you as the strong one, the one who’s got it together. So when you do need help/a shoulder, it often goes unseen.
