@KateTheGreat Jesus H Christ. Wow lol.
I was never asked anything weird, but once I was asked a fairly normal question; what are your hobbies. I mentioned horror, books and movies. Then I was asked what I like about horror. I was thinking that the ice was getting thin. A lot of people look down on horror, and whether or not this person did, I decided to play it safe. I needed a job and didn’t want to freak people out. I told the truth about how I like horror writing style in books, and how it’s a good way to escape once in a while. (prolly shouldn’t have said that)
I made sure to mention Stephen King, because he’s really popular and mainstream, so their impression of me might be seen in a better light.
Then I was asked what my favourite King book was. I thought that was a bit odd. Are they still interviewing me, or is this casual conversation?! O_o The hell they need to know this for?
I didn’t get the job after mentioning Misery.
Not entirely sure if all this had much to do with me not getting the job, but you never know.
Also I have several favourite King books. Misery is one of them, but I can’t just name one. Wasn’t gonna get into all that though. I’m shy and nervous, especially at interviews, and am very short spoken.
Sorry. I’m a lot like King. Whatever the discussion at hand, I always revert back to horror, just like how Stephen King says he’s writing a book that isn’t horror but, ultimately, it always is.
