Today I have someone who not all know about, but once you've discovered her, you never forget her! Please help me in welcoming our very own Bovine Bessie *APPLAUSE* Bovine Bessie, what an honor it is to be interviewing you today. Tell us, how did you come across Writing.Com? One day, while in the barn, The Milkman was singing the praises to this wonderful website called "Writing.Com". It took me some time but I finally convinced the Milkman to use his computer and the rest is history... even the specially made keyboard. You have a special keyboard to accommodate your hooves for typing? Yes I do but please allow me to keep the details of my special keyboard secret. Certainley, Bessie. Now, you have quite a collection in your portfolio. Who taught you to write? I believe my writing is more of a gift because, for some reason, I was chosen to be the spokescow for Holsteins and other animals around the world. Do you find that people are shocked to find a writing cow? Are you afraid of someone trying to cash in on your talent? Yes some people are shocked about my writing, but that is usually only until they read one of my stories. I like to interject some bovine humor. I don't think you can copy something that is truly unique, I mean, look at me I have tried to emulate human writers for almost three years now (March 29th is account birthday). Your stories would lead us to believe you live on a farm. Is that correct? I do live in a barn but someday I hope to live in a high rise apartment...mol(mooing out loud). Do any of the other cows or animals share your love of writing? Being a spokescow, I do have great pressure making sure I represent the animals in a good manner. What is the most common question you get asked here on Writing.Com? "Are you really a cow?" That would be my most asked question. Do you currently have a love interest? For you bulls out there... I'm red and white, have large brown eyes, a long, full nose, four legs and I weigh a womanly 1575 pounds. If you are interested... (No, as of now I have no love interest. It is lonely at the top...mol) Do you ever plan to attend a Writing.Com Convention (barring that the Milkman could get a trailer for you to get you there)? I plan on attending every year...whether or not I'll ever get there is another story. What is your favorite thing to do here on Writing.Com, or your favorite thing about Writing.Com? I love reading my reviews...mol We are about out of time here, but what advice do you have for all the Newbies out there? Newbies, don't get discouraged and if you need assistance finding something on this site... find a Senior Mod or Moderator. Thank you for your time, Bessie! It's been a pleasure IM'ing with you today!! Now to Notice some Newbies!! Beyond the Cloud9 ~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Maybe Bessie and Hoovsie should get together! Very good interview. Written as if I was watching a talk show. Great conversational tone. newykr Thank you, newykr!
