I'm sure big things are on the horizon for her, and I stopped by her blog to tell her so directly. :-) So happy for her.<br /><br />As for interviews as blog posts, I've done two. Actually, my very second blog post was an interview of a high school friend of mine turned writer and actress. In prepping for that interview, I saw her play--which she wrote. It was a poignant play and had me bawling with empathy. My other interview was of a childhood friend of mine turned author. I prepped for that interview over the phone and over email. Two great experiences! Interviews tend to make interesting blog posts, and I look forward to conducting more of them.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-17295560813381494672013-01-21T16:18:01.452-05:002013-01-21T16:18:01.452-05:00Joy,

The sad thing about blogging interviews that I've found is only other authors/writers read my posts. I don't think I have one regular reader. Even my family is selective on which ones they read.
