Okay, I need some help from my readers. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been slowly adding new features to Literary Escapism. I first started with interviews a couple of months ago (and I know they are slow, but I’m kind of shy when it comes to asking people I really don’t know if they would be willing to do something, so I’m working on it) and now I’m going to start posting some author guest posts. I’ve already contacted a few authors and have had a pretty good response to them. However, I’ve been asked for suggestions on topics that my readers would be interested in and I’m not sure how to respond.
So I’m putting out an S.O.S. and asking all of you for your opinion. What do you want to know? What kind of topics would interest you?
How does a writer deal with living in both the real world (job, kids, husband), and her imaginary world at the same time? Does she/he experience any conflicts, or is the writer able to keep the two separate?
I’m really interested in writer’s processes for writing novels, whether they use outlines, whether they write when the mood hits or everyday, whether they use a certain pen or just the computer, quirky stuff like that.
I am always interested in influences on their writing. What do they like to read. Which writers had the greatest impact.
I want to know trivia about the book like what inspired or led the author to write it and stuff like that. I love little trivia tidbits lol.
