When I started this blog, I always considered my audience other writers. Part of that was because I was just getting started myself and it was (and still is) the collaborative thing to do. Also, I didn't have any readers, so who else was I going to target with this stuff?

David was nice enough to send over some interview questions which should hit the site on Monday.
