Terra Elan McVoy Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Well, Bernard Shaw once said, "The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." I have it taped over my dresser along with this old advertisement that says, "I believe if you look at yourself and see what is right instead of what is wrong, that is the true mark of a healthy individual." Both of these things have served me pretty well so far. Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. I would love to meet TS Eliot to thank him for his poems, but also I would tell him how much I admire the fact that he wrote such amazing poetry, all the while holding down a boring job at a bank. Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. Achieving some of the goals and dreams you set for yourself, but also coming to genuinely understand why and how it is okay when other things happen instead. Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing? A. Managing Little Shop of Stories Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. Obliviousness Learn more about Terra Elan McVoy
