There’s an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal about how writers write. I found it really fascinating—especially Richard Powers who lays around in bed speaking his novels aloud and Nicholson Baker who wakes at 4 a.m. to write in gray on a black screen so he can’t see it, then goes back to bed and wakes at 8:30 to edit what he had written in his semi-lucid state. Writers are an odd lot!
And in other news, The Book Resort featured a little interview with me today. Read all about my fascinating relationship with the Golden Oreo, among other tidbits.

Fun and interesting interview. Although I am glad you vowed to never dog-ear books again. I am anxious to read your book and have preordered it on Amazon.

Wow, great article. Thanks for sharing. It is almost a little overwhelming.
Oh, and I've been wondering about the golden Oreos!

You are such a bright, interesting person!
I really think you'll hit it big with the 2012 theme. Great thinking!
Congrats on the interview.
Yes, writers are an odd lot. Thank God I'm the exception.
I loved the WSJ article. I think we have to be odd, otherwise we'd be totally crazy!
Yikes! It makes my normal life seem so...normal.
Christy!
I just bought four copies of your book on Amazon -- Wheeeeeeeeee
Great interview!!! I love the Cloisters.
And, I love weird writer habits.

But you seemed so perfectly normal to me, as I am sure I did to you right? RIGHT?
I loved that article. It really validates that there's no right way to do it and it's hard work!!!!!
