I was a total drip, breaking all the reporter rules she talks about in her memoir of being a Rolling Stone journalist. And she was amazing :) She's just as real as her memoir.Jeanne Sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098338754610313400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-39854496633820962092007-08-03T23:54:00.000-06:002007-08-03T23:54:00.000-06:00Isn't it a wonderful experience?

It's great when even very famous ones like Jodi Picoult take the time to write back.<BR/><BR/>I've never e-mailed an author, but I once asked Neil Gaiman a question about writing through his blog's FAQ and he was gracious enough to reply. His response was very helpful and, needless to say, made me extremely happy.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-15872552220940845932007-08-03T06:56:00.000-06:002007-08-03T06:56:00.000-06:00I'm jealous!I'm jealous!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255026646819281620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-81522789939599035052007-08-03T01:50:00.000-06:002007-08-03T01:50:00.000-06:00I continued to email back and forth with Jodi Pico...I continued to email back and forth with Jodi Picoult for years, very sporadically. She always wrote back.<BR/><BR/>Also, I once wrote to Catherine Marshall ... about 1965 ... and mailed it. My only fan mail by MAIL, but I still have the carefully typed letter she sent back to me.
