It's very interesting. I have a few research calls to make myself, and I always dread them, but like you say, people are more than happy to help out. An aside: There's no way you could have gained 18 pounds. You are so thin! Unless you packed on those babies since I saw you last... ;-) (I've gained 10 just fussing about the pre-publication thing. Yikes! I'm worried about what happens after.) Robin, how great to read about your process. It’s very interesting.

I find it very interesting. When you mention "research," my first impression is of someone cooped up in a library hovered over a pile of books. Of course, I know research is so much more, and it's good to hear how you set up interviews and read the kinds of questions you ask. Happy, happy writing to you! And enjoy the holidays. I'll look forward to hearing from you on Tuesdays and Fridays as often as you can post. Thanks for sharing about this, Robin. I find it very interesting.
