3. I hope so!
It's a lot of work, re-writing, editing, re-writing, questioning, and asking a hundred peoiple if they're sure it's as good as they say it is for a concept, storytelling ability and plot :P

4. Narwhals, of course. But seriously....
I am currently a beer blogger and reviewer, so I'd probably write a guide to beer, different beer styles, breweries, etc.

6. I always liked the idea
of fantasy creatures coming back into our daily lives...

Aka, elves, orcs, dragons come back to try and take out mankind, their tech vs our military....

8. well, with the creatures
comes their "magic" as well...

Not sure how it would play out, Reign of Fire (the movie) took a decent jab at it.

9. The town I grew up in with the bars, the bookies, the drug dealers, the ho's, the corrupt cops,
the geeks, freaks and weirdos, the morons, psychopaths and mental defectives and how I managed to get sober after drinking with all those whackos.
