What do YOU want to see from ME?
Ah, my dear readers, I’m in need of some inspiration. What direction should I head with future blog posts? Do all you wonderful readers and writers like what I’ve talked about so far? What kind of stuff would you like to see more of?
These were the deep questions I pondered into the wee hours of the night.
And then I thought, Maybe I should just ask. Rather than wander around aimlessly in the store in search of the ricotta cheese (I swear, I can never find the freakin’ ricotta), I should just ask.
So here we are, my friends. If you’d be so kind as to help ME out by answering my poll questions, then I can help YOU out by writing on topics you’re interested in.
[polldaddy poll=5088164]
[polldaddy poll=5088168]
[polldaddy poll=5088196]
[polldaddy poll=5088206]
[polldaddy poll=5088213]
[polldaddy poll=5088217]
So there you have it. Answer away (if you want, of course) and let me know any specific topic ideas you have in the comments!!

Looks like you have a pretty even spread so far! I really like your ‘YA through the ages’ idea, as well as the book club!

Duly noted, my dear! I must say, I love the idea of a book club–I’m just not totally sure how to coordinate it. I shall brainstorm this weekend. 😀

Well I voted for like almost all of those because those are some great ideas! And, nine times out of ten, I’ve found that ricotta is right next to the cream cheese. I buy A LOT of ricotta. There’s this healthy strawberries with ricotta dessert that I’m mildly obsessed with. 😉

Ha! You’re so right; even in Germany, it seems to be by the cream cheese. The thing that always gets me is it’s always sold-out (maybe all my neighbors are also obsessed with your strawberry recipe?), so I wind up searching and searching for a product that’s just not there… ::sigh:: Oh the woes of complicated grocery shopping. 😉

I was also struck with how even the spread is over the various topics. Looks like we are absolutely no help in narrowing down what we’d like for you to discuss.
Anything additional wisdom you can give us about showing vs telling would be of great help to me personally.

Sure thing, Ken! I can most definitely talk about show vs. tell. And as for narrowing down what I discuss–ah well. If all my ideas are met with gusto, then I shall have enough blog topics to last me many months. 😉

Keep ’em coming Sooz! I could use some advice on writing 1st person (tenses etc) if u think others would benefit too–really enjoy your topics, I save them in the appropriate files for when I need them. Scratch Azimov’s ears for me:}

You want advice on tenses and POV? I will see what I can do about that… 🙂

I mentioned this in my other but I’ve always wondered how you got to where you are now, I mean how you went from student to marine biologist to star author, it seems like it must be a very interesting non-traditional journey and if you’re willing to share a little I’d love to know more about it.
Susan

Sure thing, Caitlin! I can definitely write about that some time. Thanks! 😀

I voted 🙂 But I just have to say: BOOK CLUB! 😀 I hadn’t even thought of it until I saw it on here, but that would be such an awesome, awesome idea!
Susan
June 6, 2011 @ 3:04 pm
Yay! Everyone seems to love that idea… I’ll have to figure out how I can sort it out. Thanks! <3
