You can find a new Q&A interview with me, filled with information avid readers of this blog already know, online at Storylink, which is an off-shoot of the Writers’ Store and Writers University. Here’s a tantalizing excerpt:
1) What were you doing before you "made it"?
I was a freelance journalist, putting myself through school by writing for publications like American Film, Starlog, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate, The Washington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle, among many, many others. I also had a girlfriend who as an editor at Playgirl,
who got me a gig writing sexually explicit letters to the editor for
$25-a-letter, but let’s just keep that between you and me.
Good interview. I linked to it in today’s blog with a comment or two. Oh, by the way, I bought and read “Successful Television Writing” a couple months ago and enjoyed it a lot. I’m not too likely to write for TV (although you never know) but I found it entertaining and some of it applied to novel writing. Very enjoyable.
Cheers,
Mark Terry

Where’s the part where you mention how you couldn’t do any of it without me?
