Tuesday's Question - ????

Hello, and welcome to Tuesday's Question, which is: What qualities do you look for in a partner or friend?

If you are new to A Nice Place In The Sun, I started Tuesday's Question to get to know my readers and for them to get to know me. It was the first year I started blogging, back in 2007.

Anyway, it worked, my readers and I did get to know each other better and we had a lot of fun.

My answer: I look for the same qualities in both a partner and a friend. The most important quality to me is trust, followed by loyalty, a sense of humor, kindness, a love for animals, and empathy.

Okay, now it's your turn-

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'

F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.
- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Mark Twain

About Ann...

I'm a professional humorist/children's writer, mother, friend, and cat owner, and the author of A Nice Place In The Sun. I write situational humor most of the time, but actually, there is no telling what I might turn out.

I'm writing my first novel for adults, and I have children's book manuscripts, as well as short stories, traveling through the writers market. Most of my online work is posted on A Nice Place In The Sun, although I am published in local magazines, and continue to work toward traditional publication.
