I think I have mostly read about New York's Chinatown and I have never been there. I have been to San Francisco's Chinatown many times (only as a tourist of course).TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-36277640167447184342015-03-19T05:37:32.720-07:002015-03-19T05:37:32.720-07:00John, cheers - glad you enjoyed it.

His humour certainly comes across in the interview.......and at points in his books. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-74814430565766839632015-03-19T05:05:38.770-07:002015-03-19T05:05:38.770-07:00An excellent interview -- very illuminating, and d...An excellent interview -- very illuminating, and delightfully funny in places.

I'll have a look at something like that. I may have to make a separate page possibly, because it may make the sidebar a mile long otherwise.

I liked what Thatcher Robinson had to say about his writing process, that writing 2,000 words a day may not be such a good thing. It's an important writing tip.Prashant C.

I sort of felt afterwards - you didn't have to say YES, you could have politely turned me down. All the rest have been really forthcoming and I've been really pleased with their responses and the overall reactions.<br />Thatcher wasn't the guilty party BTW!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-72632023158299765582015-03-18T13:51:02.491-07:002015-03-18T13:51:02.491-07:00You have a magic touch for getting these nice writ...You have a magic touch for getting these nice writers onto your blog!
