Tell Me Something Tuesday!

Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Cambria Hebert .

   
This is a fun weekly question she asks other bloggers in the hopes that we will all get to know one another a little better.

This question this week is:

If you could meet anyone (dead or alive) who would that person be and why?

Gah! I really truly have no idea who I would pick! 

No really. I am stumped.

I have had people ask me this question before and I never know how to answer it. 

There are so many choices. So many people that have walked the Earth that would be wonderful to meet and so many people that are still alive that I would love to meet. How do you pick just one? 

How do you choose?

I could get personal and name a relative that I never got the chance to meet. 

I could get even more personal and name a famous person from Biblical times.

Or I could pick a great literary author or explorer or leader.

What about all the ones out there today? Leaders, artists, authors, scientists, doctors. People who are shaping our lives and future. 

Do you see the dilemma this question causes?

The possibilities are endless. 

So instead I am cheating because I simply can't name one person. I just can't.

But there are so many possibilities I can't even choose two lol! So I am going to make it a little easier on myself and narrow it down to writers only. That way I won't be here all night trying to decide.

I think one person I would love to have met would be Jane Austen.

I just adore all her work and it would be fascinating to have a conversation with her. 

Another great one would be C.S. Lewis. He was a fascinating person and I love how he incorporated his beliefs into his writing and made something absolutely brilliant in the process.

 Edgar Allan Poe would be another fascinating person to meet. He was such a tortured soul.

And who could forget William Shakespeare. His mind must have been something else. All those tragic love stories and twisted family relationships and deaths and well...just all his work. 

As for modern day authors? Well again there are a million (okay maybe not a million) that I would love to meet.

Cambria is one of them! Jennifer Armentrout, Kristan Higgans, Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Richelle Mead, Rick Riordan, Jeanine Frost, Janet Evanovich, yeah, I really will be here all night if I listed them all. 

So, who would you want to meet and have a conversation with?

Please tell me this answer didn't come easy to you too! :P
