I realize I've asked a version of this question to other artists, not just writers.<br /><br />And D, gotta get you on my podcast this season so you can hopefully add me to the list of good question-y people.<br /><br />Actually, my season 3 goal is to get all of the 7 Criminal Minds bloggers on the show at some point.... but not at the same time.<br /><br />And the best "question" I ever got was actually an answer at a bookstore appearance. It was at Hastings, which was a decent store, sort of an everyman version of Borders. I was stationed at the author table near the door. As people walked in, I asked the ones that showed any interest whatsoever, "Do you like crime fiction?" It was a decent hook. But one guy stopped and looked at me like I had three heads.<br /><br />"I don't read," he said, not without a little pride.<br /><br />Ugh.Frank Zafirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846847831614880053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-62820928600973894932019-07-31T10:30:14.995-07:002019-07-31T10:30:14.995-07:00True, Susan, we could boil them or insert needles ...True, Susan, we could boil them or insert needles and come up with lines like a comedian might lay on a heckler.Dietrich Kalteishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403361738445161528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-76086676780152566722019-07-31T10:18:25.505-07:002019-07-31T10:18:25.505-07:00"How come I've never heard of you?" ..."How come I've never heard of you?"

I'd rather be asked questions from the other list: <br />“Can we pay you to speak at our event?” <br />“What are you drinking?”<br />“I’ve read all your books. When’s the next one coming out?” <br />“How did you ever come up with something so clever?”Dietrich Kalteishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403361738445161528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-75438276556686291502019-07-31T05:54:00.990-07:002019-07-31T05:54:00.990-07:00Dieter, this list of questions:
And there are que...Dieter, this list of questions:<br /><br />And there are questions that no author wants to be asked: <br />“How come I’ve never heard of you?”<br />“Were you high when you wrote this?”<br />“I’ve got a great story idea; would you like to hear it?” Followed by, “Would you like to help me write it?”<br />“You write a lot of opposite sex characters; what’s up with that?” Followed by that look.<br />“You just sit around making stuff up. How hard can it be?”<br />“Did you start writing because you couldn’t find work?”<br /><br />Gives the shivers. Unlike the Maltese Falcon being the stuff that dreams are made of, these are the stuff that nightmares are made of ;-) .<br />Paul D.
