Micol Ostow Revealed

Micol Ostow Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. "Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia."--E.L. Doctorow Q. What trait is most noticeable about you? A. Some people say I'm funny. Also, I get very very tan in the summer. Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. It drives me bonkers when my fiance leaves his sneakers on the living room floor. I also can't stand excessive air-conditioning. I'm one of those annoying people who is always cold. Q. What’s your best quality? A. I'm a little bulldog. Seriously, I'm quite determined when it comes to the things that are important to me. I'm dedicated to my close friends, I will work round the clock to turn a manuscript in, I will reach out to help emerging writers in whom I believe...you get the picture. Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. Um, me, but maybe a few inches taller and less inclined to oversleep in the morning and to bite my nails.
