Janna:<br /><br />Good questions!<br /><br />1. My wife and I met when we were about three years old, in the church nursery. For real. We have known each other our whole lives. Our families grew up together. We have pictures of us camping together as little kids.<br /><br />2. Good observation. I live in the Texas Panhandle but do not have much of a Texas or Southern accent (Though I do end up

I love random questions!<br /><br />1. How did you meet your wife?<br /><br />2. Why don&#39;t you have a southern accent in your backpacking video?<br /><br />3. You mentioned being distracted by music while writing. Can you write with other distractions (i.e. your children running around, the TV on or co-workers chatting)?<br /><br />4. Did you swim in high school and if so, which events? I&#39

katdish: Thanks for the compliment on the look of my blog. Blogger has some limitations -- and I&#39;m far more of a print designer than web guy -- but I do like it to look nice. Lots of white space helps. :)<br /><br />Lots of rejection letters before (and after) getting published. I spent two years writing my first novel, and it got rejected by every agent I queried. I have an agent now, but I

Ken: The professional stuff always comes first -- at least, I&#39;ll always put a deadline ahead of a need to post on my blog or tweet or whatever. That said, I&#39;m a pretty good manager of time, so it&#39;s rare than I&#39;m so up against a deadline that I can&#39;t do the blog/tweet writing.<br /><br />I try to blog four times a week, and tweet some every Monday-Thursday. No set amount,

Curious how many rejection letters (if any) you got before you were published, and did you have an agent before this happened?<br /><br />Also (not a question) but this is a pretty sweet looking blog for blogger. I&#39;ve been looking to switch to wordpress, but I may stick with blogger after all.

tell us a little about the balance between &quot;professional writing&quot; (what someone is paying you to do) and blog/facebook/twitter writing - do you focus on one, then the other - switch back and forth every 10 minutes, or flip a coin to decide which to do first?
