On blog interviews

[kellyrfineman]

As many of you know, I conduct interviews here from time to time. And a few weeks back in a comment somewhere along the line, Jenn Hubbard (writerjenn) suggested that I do a post sometime on how I do my interviews. Now, I'd love to get all mysterious on you and assure you that it's magic, but the truth is far more tedious and, well, less mystical than that

The exact system evolved a bit, but it's pretty much how I've done it from day one. Better to be overprepared than under, was my philosophy.

Whoa! That's a lot of preparation, and you're right, it *does* show. You are an interview goddess. ♥

Very interesting post! Thanks for writing it up. ^.^

I'm glad you enjoyed the post. And oh, how I love your "Reading Makes Tolstoy Happy" icon. So great.

This is great, Kelly. As someone who has already learned a lot from your interviews, I still love seeing your process spelled out.

I'm sure most of my process was self-evident, but since Jenn asked, I figured I should asnwer her request. Folks are welcome to boost my "technique," not that there's any real mystery to it.
