Derrick Hilman Interview

Okay everyone! Hello and welcome to my first ever character interview here on the blog. As I said a few days ago, today I am interviewing the main character of my only finished novel, Derrick Hilman.

Derrick: Um... Hi everyone... *smiles*

Okay, so I asked you guys to send in questions for this guy here, and I got some good ones. Are you ready Derrick?

Derrick: Yes... Wait... Is this the first question?

Um... No. I was about to ask the first question...

Derrick: Oh... Go ahead... Don't mind me.

Okay. First Question is "What do you like?"

Derrick: Oh wow. That was a broad question. I like a lot of things actually. I like reading books about dragons, I like any type of fried food, especially chalupas. *blushes* I also really like... *looks around* *whispers* I like Cassidy Wells.

What was that?

Derrick: Oh nothing... O.O

Oooookay then... what are you good at?

Derrick: *shrugs* Depends on what people think I do... People say I am good at acting. And most days, I try and believe it. It has just been awhile I guess.

Interesting, what about your hobbies?

Derrick: Oh, my main hobby is acting. But again... I haven't done it in awhile. Does that count?

Yeah! You're doing great Derrick. Okay, so what was your most embarrassing moment?

Derrick: *blushes* Whoa, oh my gosh... I would say my most embarrassing moment was when I was twelve when I was trying to run a mile for the schools big contest. I was coming in first, but when I crossed the finish-line, I tripped and fell into a cooler they had off to the side. *chuckles* Everyone was laughing, and I couldn't help but laugh too.

Hehe! Sounds funny! What was your favorite toy when you were a kid?

Derrick: Oh! I had this orange stuffed dragon as a kid, I would take it everywhere with me. His name was Mister Tacos! *laughs* My mom had to sell him when I turned ten because I wouldn't stop taking it places.

What is your favorite ice-cream flavor?

Derrick: S'mores! All the way. 

What is your favorite mythological animal?

Derrick: Um... I would say... I really like the pheonix. It seems like it would a pretty cool thing to see!

Someone out there wants to know if you ever wanted to be an astronaut as a kid. Did you?

Derrick: Oh yeah! Definitely! That audience member is smart! 

What is your favorite play besides the phantom of the opera?

Derrick: That's a good question! My second favorite play is actually Meredith Wilson's The Music Man! I really love the music and acting in those shows.

What would you think of jellybean burgers, if they were a thing?

Derrick: *makes* You mean like a burger? Made out of jelly beans? That doesn't sound very appetizing... But I don't know, maybe its good. Can't knock it till I try it.

Okay, last question, I think its perfect to end this interview on. What is your darkest secret?

Derrick: Whoa... Um, am I allowed to pass on this...

No...

Derrick: Crap... Um... My darkest secret is that I tried to burn down my step-fathers house when I was thirteen. He is a nasty and abusive man... Granted, One, I shouldn't resort to violence to solve my problems and two, I was also thirteen and had no idea how to use a lighter, so... I accidentally burned my paw...

Wow... That is dark... *coughs* Okay. Thats all of the questions for this interview... Thank you Derrick for answering these questions.

Derrick: Yeah... I am going to go...

Okay. So there you guys have it. I hope you guys learned some things about Derrick that will help you understand his character. Next week I will be doing a similar thing for another character I have, who's name is Shane Shepherd.

Shane is just a normal German Shepherd who's step-dad went and moved his family to his old hometown, but the town is a little weird, like Halloween on crack. Shane is 17 years old, he enjoys pies, video games, reading horror fiction, and watching sit-coms.

Please send any questions you have to me the same way that I asked you to do for questions about Derrick, and I will get to them next Thursday or Friday! (Through any of the links on the side bar :))

Thanks to all of you that sent me questions! 😆

Have a great day Scribblers! Stay fluffy and I love you all!
