Writerly Idiosyncracies

We all know that Mark Twain dressed in white; but did you know that his shirts all buttoned in the back?

Edgar Allen Poe wore only black. And Forest McDonald writes naked on his front porch.

Behold, the list of writers' quirks and idiosyncrasies, courtesy of Judy Reeves.

Me -- well, I have a beautifully-appointed office. But I ignore it completely and write in bed, with a dog on my husband's pillow beside me.

Update on THE BLOODIEST QUEEN: I thought I had a 600-page book here... Turns out I'm wrong; try 800 pages, and I'm nowhere near the end. Ayyyyy! Anyway, take all those earlier comments about me being crazed and quadruple them. Take-out again tonight!
