I've seen your first name used (Nora) in some recent press i.e. (http://bookriot.com/2014/05/29/fantastic-future-nora-jemisin/). Was this intentional? If so, why'd you decide to do it? (I can guess at the reason for using initials initially!) If it wasn't intentional, how do you feel about it?

Hi! I’m a huge fan of your work, and the casual inclusivity and diversity throughout your writing. My question is about taking that first step to put words on paper: how do you get started? I love how fully fleshed your worlds feel, even the ones in your short stories. How do you start? I find I have a lot of stuff swirling around my head, but I have a lot of trouble when it comes to what to do first. Thanks so much!

You're one of the few high profile authors I've encountered with their own Patreon and it seems to be a very successful endeavor. What made you decide to launch a Patreon to support your work, and why don't you think more authors take this approach to help fund their writing efforts?
