I Really Need to Be More Serious in My Posts
Sometimes I worry that I put too much personal stuff and fluff into my LJ. I should be holding forth on the technical aspects of my craft. To that end, when I'm asked to speak on writing, I find it very complex and hard to distill into laymen's terms. . . No wait. "I make shit up." Yep, that's today's lesson.

I mean, it's true you "make shit up". And besides, as a fan, I like to know about the life of my favorite authors. It brings them down to earth more than some celebrities are.
I know that experts say that becoming too familiar might alienate some fans of your work, but living a life not being who you are, just to sell books, doesn't seem a good idea either.
