I’d like to welcome author, Liz Butcher to the blog for #WriterWednesday. Liz hails from Australia.

A few of your favorite things: I love rainy days, music and wine.
Things you need to throw out: An old iPod I’ve had sitting in a draw for the past decade, and some old clothes that I need to accept I’ll never fit into again!

Things you need for your writing sessions: My laptop, my headphones, a bottle of water and oils burning in my diffuser.
Things that hamper your writing: External noise, procrastination, my phone.

Things you love about writing: I love creating people and places and losing myself in their lives. It’s total escapism. I love when you get in the zone and hit that stride where all the words just flow out of you.
Things you hate about writing: When your characters won’t play nice and something about your plot isn’t working.

Hardest thing about being a writer: Avoiding procrastination. I have to work at this every damn day.
Easiest thing about being a writer: You can do it anywhere and everywhere.

Things you never want to run out of: Time.
Things you wish you’d never bought: Any number of clothing items I’ve bought online that looked amazing in the picture and totally didn’t once it was on. I’ll learn, one of these days… (maybe!)

Words that describe you: Intelligent, insightful, creative, optimistic, curious.
Words that describe you, but you wish they didn’t: Fickle, pensive, aloof, self-conscious.

Favorite music or song: I have a very eclectic taste in music, but I’m a metal head at heart.
Music that drives you crazy: Country music *shudders*

Favorite beverage: I actually love water! I drink a lot of it. Probably to counteract my love of coffee and wine… love kombucha too! 
Something that gives you a sour face: Cherry cola/Dr Pepper. My husband loves it and I can’t understand why. Also stout.

Last best thing you ate: A crazy indulgent caramel cupcake for my birthday over the weekend.
Last thing you regret eating: A crazy indulgent caramel cupcake for my birthday over the weekend. Ha ha!

Things you’d walk a mile for: My family. An amazing view.
Things that make you want to run screaming from the room: Indecision and mess—both do my head in!

Things to say to an author: “Of course I’d love to leave a review!”
Things to say to an author if you want to be fictionally killed off in their next book: “What do you actually do?” or “Writing books for a living sounds easy!”

Best thing you’ve ever done: Five rounds of IVF to finally become a mother.
Biggest mistake: Giving someone more chances than they deserved.
