Rory, the king of questions, also known as the Autistic Composter, has come up with a new series of questions that he calls “The Garden Dawdler.” Rory is posing “nine questions once a week for your leisure or pleasure.”
Here are Rory’s nine Dawdler questions today.
What do you find yourself splurging on the most?
I don’t splurge on much, but if come across something I think my grandkids might like, I may splurge on that.
What is your top writing tip?
When you get an idea in your head or see something interesting that is worth sharing, jot it down somewhere so you can use it as inspiration for a post at some point.
Are you a regular recycler, and if so, what are five of your top recycling tips?
Yes, I am a regular recycler. I will put into the blue recycle bin anything that has been identified as recyclable. I will put in the green compost bin anything that has been designated as compostable. And I will only put in the black ground fill (trash) bin those items that are neither recyclable nor compostable.
Are you someone that wants to be or needs to be heard and seen, or are you content to be found behind the scenes?
Back in the day, I was a seen and heard type, but now, in my so-called “golden years,” I’m fine with being low-keyed, laid-back, and behind the scenes.
How approachable do you think you are in real life and away from the keyboard, and do others feel the same way about you?
I think I’m reasonably approachable as long as the person who is approaching me isn’t trying to sell me something or has a hidden agenda. As to whether or not others feel the same way, how the fuck would I know? Ask them.
Do you sit more on the fence or the edge of the knife?
Neither. I prefer a nice, comfy, well-cushioned seat.
What do you remember the most about your grandparents?
They were old and now they’re dead.
How important to you is validation from your readers to your written content – do you need acknowledgement from others to create?
It’s nice to have readers acknowledge my posts and like and comment on them. Do I need such acknowledgment or validation in order to write? No. But it does help keep me motivated.
What is it you would have liked to have been asked about your life but have yet to be?
Nothing. I’m fine with people minding their own business instead of prying into mine.
