And she's back

Back from my quick trip to San Diego for my cousin's wedding where a great time was had by all. Her new husband seems like a great guy and so do his friends, which is always a good sign.

Flights were on time, but completely sold out, which led to the usual passenger adventures with too much carry-on luggage and too little overhead storage. Red-eye back was pretty much as I expected-- no sleep due to surrounding chatter and a broken seat that didn't recline. I had a brief moment of nostalgia for my days in marketing, back in the early 90s, when taking the red-eye from California meant plenty of empty seats so you could almost always claim a whole row for yourself to stretch out and sleep.

Reading: Finished THE BURIED PYRAMID by Jane Lindskold and was disappointed. ( What was she thinking? )

Started reading SMOKE AND SHADOWS by Tanya Huff, and picked up Michelle Sagara's CAST IN SHADOW to add to my TBR stack.

What do you wear when you're writing?

What do you want to know about me? What do readers want to know about an author? I'm putting together a new list of FAQ's, and I'm looking for ideas on what I should include.

I have my own list of questions that I'm working from, based on the email that I've received over the years, but these seem boring. Do people really care how long it takes me to write a book or where I get my character names from?

And yes, I have been asked about what I wear. I blame this one on the romance author who stated that you needed to wear romantic clothing in order to inspire you as you wrote. I never saw a reason to follow that bit of advice, though I have been known to wear my RWA "Finish the Damn Book" t-shirt when occasion warrants.
