Cue David Bowie's song "Fame", or if you prefer, the theme song from "Fame" the movie and TV show. After Saturday's interview on blog spot radio, I have the fame bug bad. I want more interviews and more chats. Apparently my enthusiasm came through, because Chai said that my interview had the highest listenership they'd ever had.
The questions they asked me were deep and insightful. When I'd read the questions before, I questioned that the show could be kid-friendly. But I tried my best to answer in such as way as to enable the young listeners to relate to what we were talking about. For example, when I talked about Fried Brain Syndrome, I talked about that feeling you get when you've been studying for an exam, or working on a research paper, and you've taken the exam or turned in the paper. Your brain is fried, you have tunnel vision, and you need a way to open and relax your mind.

The last question I found extremely flattering. It was the stock one about what advice I'd give to young aspiring writers. My advice was threefold. 1. Write. 2. Do your homework. The study habits you pick up will stand you in good stead researching a story. 3. Read voraciously.
The glow has dissipated a bit, but I still have good feelings about it. I'm hoping I keep this good feeling about being interviewed about my writing. Doc was thrilled for me, and so proud that the buttons on his shirt popped off.
