Quirky Q's with Wendy Higgins!

Wendy Higgin's New Adult Science FictionUNKNOWNis part of Q&C'sOut of This World Giveaway. Book Two UNREST coming soon(not fast enough for those of us who've already read the first!!).What is your quirkiest hobby or personality trait?~ I like to smack my friends and family members on the bottom. Ha!What was one of your most memorable coming of age lessons?~ The life lesson of my youth that stands out is that marriage takes work, and love is a daily choice. My parents divorced when I was 12 and it changed my fairytale outlook on relationships.What is your quirkiest/weirdest writing ritual or superstition?~ I'm ADD, so I need complete silence and aloneness to write. No music. No coffee houses. I'm sooooo easily distracted - all it takes is one interruption to throw me off my writing game for the day. I don't really have any rituals or superstitions.What is your favorite book trope?(either to read or write)~ I love when the guy and girl don't quite get along at first. When there's that angry sexual tension that builds up because there's some major obstacle they have to get over before they can fall for each other.What is the strangest part of being a writer?(waking up at 2am and compulsive-zombie-writing ideas?Folding your husbands underwear as you find out you're a NYT bestseller? Calling your children by your character's name? Etc)~ My son's name is Cayden. My most well-known character's name is Kaidan (pronounced Ky-den). To me, they are completely different names - spelled differently and pronounced differently. It never dawned on my that people would pronounced Kaidan like my son's name. So when I go to signings and people say, "Oh my Gawd, I love Kayden; he is so hot!!"  My first reaction is, "What? Ew! He's seven!"
