I have a friend who thinks I’m being a bit too personal about my writing woes. This friend thinks I should zip it, and just write away. And if I’m dealing with any obstacles, to just keep them to myself. This friend also doesn’t think I should go out to a cafe to work. He/she thinks I should just stay home and buckle down.

So tell me, does it make you uncomfortable when I, or any other writers with blogs, talk about what they’re dealing with, whether it be procrastination, writers block, or not being able to write at home? Seriously, i want to know.

The LA Times Festival of Books was stellar, as usual. My friend Allison and I decided we liked the humor panels best. The panelists on the one I moderated (Allison Burnett, Merrill Markoe, Pamela Ribon and Amy Wallen) were hilarious. The other two humor panels we went to were great, too. Allison and Amy are going to come on the show in July, methinks.
