In writing this book, what was the most surprising thing you learned about him?

Frequently Asked Questions :: Wisdom of Forgiveness
That he is really significantly different from me, more so than anyone I know. His perspective is incredibly all encompassing, very wide, very long term. He could come up with a viewpoint that is totally unexpected, totally surprising, this is because he has spend half a century in intensive mind-training, in taming his so-called destructive emotions like jealousy and attachment. I'm also surprised by his consistency and his persistence.

Which book have you most enjoyed writing?

Questions and Answers
I really enjoyed The Whitby Witches because it was my first book with people in it, but The Alchymist's Cat was quite a challenge because it involved both human and animal characters. Of course I like all the books for different reasons. The Woven Path features my old Teddy Bear, so that was great to do, and the werling creatures in Thorn Ogres of Hagwood made me laugh.

What book are you writing currently?

Questions
In December 2005 I finished updating Trees of Seattle. In 2006 I started to publish some writings of my late friend Gary Lockhart, who left his life writings in my safekeeping. To minimize stress and resulting ill health I am leary of setting difficult deadlines. But in summer 2007 I am updating my book Wild Plants of Greater Seattle, to republish it in winter sometime.

I am writing a book, will you look at my manuscript?

Frequently asked questions ...A magical child
To be quite honest here, no, I won't. It's not that I don't care, but I am not a professional editor. I also have limited time which I need to devote to my own writing and painting. Somewhere in there I also have to pay attention to my family and my job. If you have a book you are working on I strongly suggest you either join a critique group or hire a professional editor. For children's books there is an excellent group available called The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Do you have any tips so that I can get started writing my own book?

Eloisa James ~ New York Times Bestselling Author
If you're thinking of writing a romance, you should join the Romance Writers of America. They have loads and loads of local chapters. My local chapter is only a half hour drive away from me, and they meet once a month. You can go a few times for free and see if you like it. Then find a critique partner through your chapter--someone who is also starting to write, or even a critique group. Critique partners help enormously with figuring out the ins and outs of writing fiction.

Professor Smiley's FAQ's
Right now I'm busy updating my Learn to Program with VB6 for VB.NET. After that, I'll be starting my Java book, and most likely after that, I'll move onto a C# book. Most publishers these days are not showing much of an interest in what I call 'beginners vertical VB' books--that is, books aimed at beginners that cover advanced topics in my unique style.

Are you writing a book? If not, why do you blog?

My Life As A Clandestine Call Girl: FAQ
To the best of my knowledge I am not writing a book. I am often flattered by such questions as I have never considered myself a writer. The blog was started as an outlet for my experiences and thoughts, primarly regarding my secret life as an escort. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed writing, receving comments and sharing a part of my life I am unable to share with my real life friends and family. It's become a habit, or maybe a hobby, either way I find it enjoyable and theraputic.

What did you learn by writing this book?

FAQ
I learned that writing a book is hard work. I also learned that having a finished copy of my book in my hands is more rewarding than I thought it would be. However, I still maintain that losing weight is harder and more rewarding than writing a book. I also came to know myself much better during this book project. I would analyze my actions every day, and I started realizing where I was going wrong, on a physical and an emotional level, during my previous dieting attempts.

Is writing the second book easier than the first?

The Official Site of Shannon Hale
Virginia Euwer Wolff quoted Ernest Hemingway at a conference recently: "And then I remember that it was always difficult." We like to imagine that no book will ever be as hard to write as the one we're on right now, but they are. Some things do get a bit easier. I know my writing process better now, and that makes it easier.

What if there is nothing in writing? You said a moment ago a term could be implied?

Whose IP Right Is It Anyway?- Questions and Answers
There are set legal principles as to whether a term can be implied into any contract. In the context of IP, circumstances where those rights need to be assigned to you are only likely to arise if you need the right to exclude the commissioned party from exploiting the work as well as the right for you to simply use the work.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO A PERSON THINKING ABOUT WRITING OR IS WRITING A BOOK?

Author Kei Swanson
Consider how hard it will be to market their subject matter. For myself, I am drawn to write Asian fiction even thought I know how hard a sell it is. But, the important thing is for the writer to write from the heart.

When are you going to publish your writing via book?

the would-be writers guild
Oh, how nice you are! There are no immediate plans. Or even future plans. Or even ideas that can immediately be turned into future plans. So for now you will just have to cuddle up with a Mrs. Fields catalog. I recommend the paragraph about double-fudge brownies on page 7!

If you were writing your book today, is there anything you would do differently?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, there are several things I'd do differently. I won't discuss most of them here, but I will mention that I wouldn't be so "politically correct" nowadays. Back in the early 1990s, when I wrote Rock on the Wild Side, I was heavily into political correctness. Oh, I was painfully politically correct! One might attribute it to the lingering effects of my having been something of a gay activist in the preceding decade.

Is REF writing a new book?

The Pits Feist Page -ng-FAQ Feist Questions
Yes. Check http://www.students.uat.edu/jefjonai/feist/elis/f_news.html NEWS section and below the News section Quick Links table on the right, upon information regarding new books and title names. Although REF does monitor this newsgroup, he doesn't pay much attention to it. If you want to talk to Raymond, or ask him a question then I suggest you join the Mailing-list. He's on the mailing list and he just might respond to questions or participate in the general discussion.

Can you describe the process of writing the book?

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: What Is the What.
DE: The first thing we did was just get through the basic story. So that was about 12 hours of tape. Then I spent some time transcribing and reviewing the story, to see what exactly to do with it. At that point, we really hadn't decided whether I was just helping Valentino write his own book, or if I was writing a book about him. VAD: I thought I might want to write my own book, but I learned that I was not ready to do this.

Welcome To USSDevilfish.com, Cyberspace Home Of National Bes...
Everyone. Perhaps Faulkner gave me permission to have my own style. But in terms of influence, the greatest influences on me were my parents. The influence on my writing was greatest from my high school English teachers, who truly cared (see the acknowledgements in Attack of the Seawolf). After that, my agent and my publisher. Don Fine, who first published me under Donald I. Fine, Inc., was a giant. I can still hear him in my head, even though he passed away in 1997.

How do you feel about your profession after your experiences, and after writing this book?

Laura Nathanson, MD, author of What You Don't Know Can Kill ...
Proud and worried. Proud because as a Pediatrician, I have been lucky to work with doctors who are both transparent -- encouraging parents to question and contribute; and accountable -- explaining our reasoning, discussing options, open to specialist referrals. We are lucky to have a patient population that is educated and assertive. That's how I know how much both physicians and patients (or their caregivers) benefit from full participation in constructing the "contract" of the medical record.
