Why Is This So HAAAAAAARD??!
I know, I know. That title may have been a bit misleading, and if you’re thinking you’re gonna find something a little dark, steamy and erotic, you’re way wrong.
I’m talking about writing my author bio.
I mean it!
I’m working on finishing up the author info packet for the marketing department of the publishing house who just sent me the contract for the short story, and I have to submit a short bio. I’m thinking three paragraphs at most.
Why is this so hard? I have no idea. I’ve written six novels of 55,000-60,000 words, countless articles, monthly columns and a graduate thesis on kids from another country and their educational issues, and I can’t come up with three stinking paragraphs about my writing career? This is just wrong.
I could go with the bio on my website but that needs updated, too. I like humor in the bio–otherwise it’s just boring drivvel in my opinion. Unfortunately, funny isn’t happening for me at the moment.
Nothing is happening for me at the moment. I think I need a little more chocolate to help me through…
Anyone who knows me & my writing–I’m open for suggestions. Just don’t include anything that would embarass me. You know, the stories of the headlight dance, anything remotely related to OSU tailgates, Camp Hamwi antics or tequila.
On second thought, I’d better do this myself…
Off to bio myself,
Beth

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)
