Posted Secrets

Recently Lillie Ammann tagged me to post five secrets about myself that no one here knows. That's pretty difficult to do for a person proud of transparancy and openness. Let's see, I could either dig deeply into my childhood (first pet: Sallie, a duck) or into my private life (adores missionary position), but this blog is about writing. So, how about these gems:

1) I wrote a film treatment to star a famous black male lead.

2) Almost all the characters in my novels live inside me.

3) When writing political copy for a state election, I coined the phrase, "A woman belongs in the House and Senate."

4) I still can't write about 9/11.

5) Although I graduated from Northwestern University, I never took a journalism course there or anywhere else.

Passing it on to:

1) Patrick at A Stop at Willoughby
2) Michael at River Tyde
3) Sou at Chronicles of a Female Thinking Out Loud
4) Fatih at Blogger Indonesia
5) Kate at Kate Blogs about Writing and Web Design
