Most authors I know hate writing their bios. It’s so odd talking about ourselves when we make up stories about fictional characters for a living. My bio is incredibly short because I don’t like to talk about myself, though funnily enough, it tends to be all about me one-on-one with friends.
I have a secret — I don’t like my bio. I want my about page to be full of fun so I’m thinking of updating it with fun facts. I know other authors do this (I can’t recall which at the moment) but I always enjoy fun odd facts about people.
Some things you might no know about me:
I don’t drive. I don’t even have a driver’s license. I once had my learner’s permit, but let it expire because I didn’t like driving.
My friend calls me Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) because I have major lunchroom OCD. Yes, I make people get out of my seat if they’ve daringly tried to steal it! And I will make others move on occasion to sit in the seats they are supposed to occupy while I’m in the lunch room.
That’s all I have for now.
So what questions do you have for me? Which authors bios do you like most? Do you even read author bios?
