The Twelve Curly Questions Interview

I loved doing the Twelve Curly Questions with Kids Book Review. Thanks, Penny, for this great opportunity. I have linked to the Kids Book Review page down below if you want to check it out.

1. Tell us something hardly anyone knows about you.

I came equal dux of my primary school because I very unexpectedly topped the grade in creative writing with my story A day in the Life of a Car. Wish I kept it – I’d love to read it now.

2. What is your nickname?

Family and old school friends call me Kirst, though I was Big Bird for a while in high school after the incident of the bright yellow dress.

3. What is your greatest fear?

Putting aside my biggest mortal fear of bad things happening to people I love, my biggest everyday fear is getting a chai latte when I ask for a chai tea – it’s a totally different drink and it really needs a totally different name.

4. Describe your writing style in 10 words.

Fresh, relatable and hopefully leaving the world a better place.

5. Tell us five positive words that describe you as a writer.

Supportive, interested, considered, honest, playful.
