Watching a writer at work can be like watching the paint dry

[pbray]

Borrowing the meme that's been going around, thought it time to ask folks what they expected from my LJ. I'm happy to have readers, and silent lurking is just fine, but if you'd like to chime in and let me know why you're reading my LJ, and what interests you, I'd like to hear from you.

Greetings! I came to visit when you and jenniferdunne were posting your back-and-forth e-classes on writing how-to's, and I just stayed, kind of like the in-laws when you'd really rather they go home.

Write what you like here, it's your LJ. :-)

I read your LJ regularly. I would love to see you write more about your process, what's going on in your writing world, and of course, just regular life stories. :)

Hi, *waves*.

Followed you here from someones link (can't remember who alas.)

As a wannabe/almost writer I'm avidly devouring anything I can from people who do write or work in the publishing business. Picking up interesting ideas, seeing fascinating folks at work, ultimately slumming away on lj when I could, of course, be hashing out another ten thousand words on my own epic (But where's the fun in that, honestly :) ).

And generally getting the hang of hanging around.

As such, post wise, I love anything you do writerly wise -- but then maybe I'm just picky. :)

I started reading your lj because I liked what what you've written and published.

I stayed and branched out because I enjoy reading about the process and business side of being an author. I like the slice o' life bits and to have a laugh. Also, I appreciate that you have taken the time to answer my newbie questions. Thanks.

*ooh coffee's up...*

I started reading your lj because of the writing do's and don'ts you were posting. Like everyone else has already said, I'm interested in the writing and publishing process and I enjoy reading about your experiences. Generally I find your lj funny and interesting so I keep reading. (Every now and then I think about commenting but I'm usually too shy.)

I just found your LJ. I am a reader of Regency romances and very much enjoy your books in that genre.

what they expected from my LJ

Stuff to steal and put into my LJ, of course!

I came because of the stuff you had on writing (what they said above). I enjoy that kind of information, and have a couple of writers on my flist for just that reason. But I also like hearing about your writing process, and your progress from day to day, or week to week if that's what you can manage. Writers tend to be interesting people, I've found, and of course they tell their own stories so well. (Duh) So I'd probably enjoy your grocery list. What do you want to write about?

I've been lurking for a while now. Can't remember how I found you actually. :P
Like most of the others, I am interested in writing stuff.
Oh, and speaking of wine, I recommend Blue Nun to anyone who hasn't tried it. Yuuuuuurrrrmmmm. It's the best wine ever and like $8 a bottle at the liquor store.
