Writer's Block: I wanna be just like you

[Error: unknown template qotd]


When I was a kid, I totally wanted to grow to be either Vesper Holly or Alanna of Tortall.

Now that I'm at least theoretically an adult. I sometimes still fantasize about being Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan when I grow up.

She's about my age in Shards of Honor, the first Vorkosigan book, so I think maybe I still have a chance.

As a librarian, I also find Barbara Gordon/Oracle rather inspiring. She saves the world with information, y'all!

*offers fistbump of Cordelia aspiration*

When I was younger I wanted to be Miles, and then I realized that was maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe a little too close to home. Miles post-his 30's, maybe. Cordelia is awesome at any age.
