Keith R.A. DeCandido:
What writing-related question has never been asked of you that you wish people would ask? Conversely, is there a question you are asked frequently that you wish people would stop asking you?
Keith R.A. DeCandido
The answer to the first question is, "How do you get your hair to look like that?"
Oh, fuck, you said "writing-related." Er, uhm -- "What inspired you to write [specific work]?" Almost nobody asks the genesis of specific stories, and some of them are REALLY COOL........
The answer to the second question is, "Where do you get your ideas?" Which is kind of the same as the previous one, but it's too general, as the ideas vary from project to project.
