Q&A with Brian Zuckerberg






Q1. Do you call yourself a writer or an author? Why? 

A: Well, I am both but I lean more towards authoring. I love creating stuff but I also like stats and reports. 

Q2. At what ages did you realize you wanted to be an author?

A: At age 12. I received my first audio book called the umpaloompa and I loved it. I would sit for hours repeating chapter one and day dreaming of me becoming an author too. 

Q3. Top 5 shows you watch on TV? 

A: Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres. I dont watch my TV. I am more into movies and music. Reggae music! 

Q4. Any playlists you like to listen to when you write? 

A: When writing, I play "Never Dis" by Sanchez. I play it on repeat and sometimes I go for 5 hours in one sitting. 

Q5. Pet’s? Names? 

A: Sammy. The cutest cat on the planet! 

Q6. Most embarrassing moment? 

A: You know what; for some reason I never get embarrassed. I am really worried about this. 

Q7. If you could have any hobby, what would it be? 

A: Well, bunji  jumping and crocodile skipping. I jump into the crocodile pen and walk towards them. When they chase me, I race them to the durawall. 

Q8. Any WIP’s? 

A: Yes, With The Love Poem Series, I am working on publishing the longest poem ever so I have my head in there. 

Q9. Favorite writing time snack? 

A: It has been chocolate and ice-cream but I am currently cutting down on sugar. My best friends are: Vanilla Ice-cream and white chocolate! 

Q10. Are you a plotter or Splatter? 

A: Well, I think I like planning things but I process in circles. 

Q11. Who was your childhood hero? 

A: Voltron, the defender of the universe.

It's One Word That's It!
It's one word!! That's it. This review is longer!!! I won't give it a one star because simply because it was stated in the blurb that it was only one word. But I won't give it above a two because it was one word. I didn't hate it. If I had paid .99c I'd be hitting myself for not thoroughly reading the blurb. I'm a cheap scape.

Okay, so here's why I don't hate it. It evoked some freaking emotions. I was like you have got to be freaking kidding me. That's it? People can get away with that? One word!!!!! Then I laughed, the purpose of the poem had been achieved, it made me feel something. The lack of words and the word used made me feel. The word used could evoke so many emotions. Why was it chosen? Did the person writing it want to be left alone? Did they feel empty and alone, like air in a jar? Why?

In the end I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Now I'm going to go against my better judgement and change it to a 5 star. It couldn't have done anything better to evoke the emotion. It really shows what you can do with one little word, just beware that that's all you're going to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swoon 

Brian has done it again! Ah, this poem is swoon worthy. The language is like syrup dripping down the bark of a tree, slow and sweet. I can't wait to taste more! :) Seriously, I'm really loving this series, the tone of the poems, the pace, everything, and I've never cared for poetry, but I make an exception for Brian's work. It's so easy to understand though there are hidden layers of depth that I know lie beneath the surface. How could there not be after reading the first poem in this series? If you haven't picked up a copy yet, I'd do so now. You're depriving yourself of something great.

Whew! July 3, 2014

My oh my. With the title I wasn't sure what I was going to get, but after reading this, it fits perfectly and you find out exactly what it means to be Matchless! And whew. I'll tell you what; it's something. Before you begin reading this poem, I suggest crawling in bed with your spouse in mid-afternoon with curtains blowing in the breeze and instead of you reading it, have them read it to you. I doubt you'll let your partner finish before well, if you read it, you'll see. I'm just saying turn off your phones before hand and get a sitter if you have kids, because you won't be leaving that bed for a while.
