What do you enjoy most about writing?

I’ll keep this pretty short and sweet.

It’s the freedom to write what I want, when I want and how I want. Whether that be about my daily life, my daughter, poetry, reviews, etc. I write how I feel at that time and it gives me calm in a generally hectic day.

That is truly what brings me joy with writing.

Ciao!

What’s your favourite time of day?

Since I can remember and my mother always tells me, I was and am, forever a night owl.

I love the night and am often up late because of the fact it’s quiet and I feel most productive during that time. Always have. I’d be in school writing essays to the wee early mornings, crafting, reading or doing household tasks. It’s my quiet time.

I’m a night owl, child of the night or whatever you would like to call it.

And I love it!

Ciao!!

Where did your name come from?

Welp let’s see…

I hear this story quite often from my mom when the thought of baby names comes up.

Picture this…1989 was the year and my parents were discussing baby names with eachother. My mother was dead set on the name Bianca for me…

Yes, I was apparently suppose to be a Bianca, I can’t even imagine!

But my dad adamantly said No! The reason being he had an aunt or something in Italy who he hated named Bianca. And so time went on and my mother suggested Daniela, named after my father. Well ladies and gentlemen,  that stuck!

So there is the very simple tale of how I got my name.

Ciao!!

What are your top ten favourite movies?

I won’t deny that I am a bit of a movie addict, though as of late I am finding the newer stuff hard to watch. I’ve been going back and watching older movies I absolutely adore. But doing a top ten, well that’s a bit hard but I’ll try!

In no particular order, here it goes….

1. Jaws
2. Grease
3. Dirty Dancing (1987)
4. Klaus
5. Practical Magic
6. Army of Darkness
7. Footloose (1984)
8. Pretty Woman
9. Troy
10. Gone In 60 Seconds

These are generally my go-to movies that I know will make me happy after watching them. But to be honest, the list could have been way longer…

Do you have any favourite movies? I’d love to hear them in the comments!

Ciao!!

What are you curious about?

I mean, that’s a bit of a difficult question to answer really. I’m curious about everything and anything, it’s my type of personality to be that way. Plus…I’m Italian, I’m nosy and curious about EVERYTHING! So, how can anyone be curious about just one thing?

There are things I learn and discuss with people every single day on a multitude of topics. It peaks my curiosity and I usually learn more about it, especially if I’m not familiar with whatever it may be.

As a person, I think everyone should be curious about everything and should want to know more about it. It’s just in human nature to be naturally curious about things, no?

Ciao!

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

I imagine, if humans were around during the time of the dinosaurs (Mesozoic Era), much like humans during the Paleolithic era, it would have been horrifying and essentially survival of the fittest. Can anyone tell I was a bit of a nerd? But let’s have some fun with the question anyway!

I’ve always been fascinated with dinosaurs ever since I was a kid and the movie, The Land Before Time, was my jam! Who didn’t love the gang; Littlefoot, Petrie, Cera, Spike and Ducky. Each with their own personalities, traits and struggles. You grow up loving each of them for different reasons. Then came Jurassic Park, which blew your mind (back in the 90’s), and to witness these creatures coming to life on screen was amazing!

However, if I had to pick one…well that’s a tough choice. I’ll give you two: A Stegosaurus or Brachiosaurus. Spike always captured my heart for the sheer fact he always just wanted to be a lazy bones, kind of shy and loved to eat. Apparently, Stegosaurus are considered to be the dumbest dinosaur because of their small brains. I’m not sure that’s true, but we will never know! Still adorable in my opinion though!

As for the Brachiosaurus, well the classic scene in Jurassic Park of the one sneezing has always had my heart and still makes me laugh to this day! Their tall stature would have been a wonder to see. These beauties were always made to be gentle, veggie loving creatures on film. And I often wondered if that was true. Again, we will never know!

Sadly, every prey needs a predator or else the ecosystem would be out of control. But who wants to bring back a T-Rex, Velociraptor, or the Mosasaurus?!

No thanks!

I prefer a world without dinosaurs, even as fascinating as they may be. As more fossils are being discovered, more is being learned about these incredible creatures, but I’m happy just looking at the bones in museums.

Which dinosaur would you bring back?

Ciao!
