Yah! Love the interview. I wish I could be as consistently funny. I’m only funny 10 percent of the time. Still, I enjoyed the interview and I’m looking forward to more of your rulebreaking writing that for some reason, despite your utter defiance of every piece of writing advice out there, works brilliantly anyway. Bravo!

It is now April 1st here in Australia, so congrats on the paperback release! You can technically start partying already without guilt. I hope the release exceeds your expectations.

The part about librarians cracked me up. I know some librarians, and, I have to agree. Hell, they are almost as wild as nurses. Not as wild as ER nurses though.Also, I think this will horrify Pat, but I regularly...grade writing while listening to music. Almost can't do it without.Hilarious interview.

Bravo, Pat! This was mesmerizing. Genius. Of course, no matter where I read your writing, it always gets my attention tangled up in a choke-hold. It just goes to show your brilliance.… And yes, I did post a similar comment over at the interview, for all those observants out there. I don’t like to express myself twice. This was, however, slightly edited to fit the environment, so you can’t call me lazy.

Hey a Portal reference. I was wearing a Portal “the cake is a lie” shirt at the WASFEN con yesterday.

I was thinking more of Wesley from Angel. Though it is fair to say that I have a fair ammount of lollop in my personality.

From your blog, I would have pegged your more as a Xander than a Wesley Wyndam-Price. I love Wesley, but you don’t come off as being as priggish and insecure as he is. You give off more of that lolloping puppy vibe that Xander has.

"* (The cake is a lie.) "This made me laugh out loud. My father walked by and gave me a strange look.Your interview did, too. Which earned another quizzical stare. But that's okay; I'm used to it. :PI'd looove to see you win a Hugo, Pat. I'd be glued to the tv for your acceptance speech, and I don't even watch tv. xD

I have to agree with the anonymous contributor. I almost always have some music or the TV in the background when I write. Though in my case it's not necessarily to get into the correct mood.Though I've noticed one big problem with this. If I listen to something new, I tend to pay too much attention to the music and recently I actually caught myself dancing (rather twisting about) and singing in front of the laptop instead of writing...But complete quiet definitely doesn't work for me.
