My areas of giftedness?
Right now, after an overdone Easter ham and underdone potatoes, perhaps isn't the best time for me to think about this. Or maybe it's the perfect time!
Like Kristen, I'm a trivia whiz, beat out only in the Star Wars field by my 16 year old daughter. She is literally the only one EVER who asks me to play Trivial Pursuit although I LOVE that game. We have to play the Star Wars edition, however, and it's a very cutthroat type game. Tough, hard, Christian-type trash talk goes on in our living room:
"You're going down, little girl."
"Yeah, well, you're going to choke, so just roll the dice."
That type of thing.
Another thing I'm good at is crafts - mainly of the needlework/sewing variety and digital scrapbooking.
And, one more, I have been told that I do let Jesus shine through even when I don't realize it, so I guess that's a gift, too.
Denise gave a great interview over at my blog Novel Journey today btw.
Shopping! Does that count? No? Well it should!
Then, I guess mine would be writing dialogue. I've had a lot of practice writing scripts. And I'm completely comfortable in front of an audience as long as I don't have to sing a solo.
I have the skill to down a DeBrand's mocha truffle in ten seconds flat. Does that count?
i can spell... which brings to mind - denise did you mean DESERT or DESSERT? hahaha!
oh and i can sing. when i put my mind to it. my favourite thing to do is just to sing my heart out in worship to my God. :)
maybe i should just become a proofreader? i notice every error in a novel. i found one in an Ashley stockingdale book today :P :P :P
A desire to organize the leaves of the forest by size and color is an AMAZING gift. I'm sure my hubby would love to help. :)
This is a great post, Denise. Makes me think. What am I good at.
Writing books (no I'm not, yes I am.) Singing/worship. The impromtu talk (if I have a five minute warning) and wasting writing time on the internet. I'm very good at that. And oh, meeting people for lunch. Anyone? :)
kristin it wasn't spelling, it was a word. ashley's talking to kevin's parents and she calls his dad dr stockingdale... (it's when they are visitng her family for thanksgiving).
:p
and anyhow, i gotta have something in life to amuse me!!! (loved the chapter i got in my email today btw!!)
This may not sound like much, but I've discovered I'm quite gifted at placing fast food orders in the drive-thru. I didn't realize what talent this requires until I've watched my husband try to do this.
He gets so flustered; he can't remember any of the orders right. I mean, the guy can stand up and lecture 200 college students about SAND for a solid hour, but he can't remember who got chicken nuggets and Sprite and who got hamburger and Hi-C -- and let's throw in the boy v. girl Happy Meals. I CAN DO THIS!
BTW -- Enjoyed your interview over at Gina Holmes' Novel Journey -- you make the journey seem like fun!
