Some help from my friends

I'll be back later with more fun stuff but I wanted to get this rolling.

On Monday I have a release party for my novel on Dreamspinner's blog. Here are some suggested things to talk about (I'll cannibalize other blog posts I've written for this): Readers want to know "behind the scenes" stuff. What inspired you? What did you listen to when you wrote? How did you get the idea for the book? Is there a special story associated with it? Did something unusual or funny happen while you were writing it and influence the book? What are you working on now?

My question to you all is, what ELSE would you like to ask an author about their work if you had the chance? It would help me prepare and to make my launch as good as can be. THANKS.

1. How do you relate to the characters you write?

2. Favorite reward while writing?

3. How do you get in the mood to write?

You're welcome!

Off the top of my head, how about:

What gets you motivated on days you don’t feel like writing, and how do you cope with writers’ block?

Do you have a set routine? Like, do you always write at the same time of day or in the same place?

Do you set yourself a daily writing target?

Do you plot the whole story out before you start?

Good luck with the launch!

Thanks so much. This is plenty helpful.

How about this? When you write a romance for Dreamspinner, a book has to have not just a main character but two, really, the main love pair in the romance. Do you think you're more like your main characters or like their love interests? Why?

Thank you very much. That one would actually be easy.
