Superstar or Sit-and-Write?

October 30, 2008 · 1 Comment

There’s an interesting article in the I.N.K. (Interesting Nonfiction for Kids) blog on whether writers prefer to be superstar/writers or just plain writers. Read the article and then take my poll!

Are you a sucker for a stage or is your life your laptop? Take the poll!

What am I? I’m pretty happy to be a hermit and hide out in my office, but I will answer the call if someone contacts me to appear. Partly because of my health issues, I prefer to market my book at a distance and not one-on-one as with signings. I am a sit-and-write type. I think preferring that to the hoopla and p.r. (even though my whole pre-writing life was in p.r. and marketing) helped me immensely when my editor asked me on a Monday if I could have my NF book done on Friday when we were just then agreeing on format. I may never be famous, but I will make my deadlines!

Another Opinion Poll?

Here are the results on the National Book Award poll. I hope that people are busy writing (or voting for more important things!) since there wasn’t an overwhelming response:

What I Saw and How I Lied – 1 vote

The Underneath – 3 votes

I have not ready any yet – 4 votes!
