I am not offended. I don't listen to radio interviews by preference if I can read what people said; it's hugely easier for me. Except where music is concerned, I am a much better learner in print than by ear. (It's not even conscious: if I'm reading and someone's speaking to me, I can completely miss it. This was tested as recently as Wednesday, when one of my doctors who spotted me in a waiting room had to say my name two or three times before it registered.) I suspect it's part of the reason I didn't pay attention to movies for years.
I am very like this myself, though I had not considered that these traits might have contributed to my relative indifference to most movies. That's very enlightening.
"But I'm really enjoying it, enjoying the movie camaraderie, as it were; and learning a lot. You sound remarkably like you -- by which, I guess I mean that the cadences of your speech are perhaps not predictable from your writing, but rather made familiar by it."
That is a really neat thing to hear. Thank you for telling me. I am especially glad you are enjoying the interview if listening is not your optimal mode.
Yes, indeed, I think that does say something about the nature of the interview. It's really charming and informative.
I love how this book came out. I love the colors, the font, the accidental matching of cover art to author photo, the blurbs (of which there are even more at the website); it just makes me happy.
Oh yes, I wondered about whether the matching of cover art to author photo was deliberate or not; it's almost better in some ways that it's accidental. And the blurbs are AWESOME. I hope to start reading it tomorrow and am using this possibility to bribe myself to work on my annoying novel.
