Can I just say how much fun this series is? I’m learning a lot by getting a wonderful peek inside the brains of some excellent writers.
\n<\/em>
\nToday we get the third installment of an occasional series on writers \u2014 how and why they write, what inspires them and how they overcome challenges like writer\u2019s block and rejection. Previously we’ve heard from Jim Ottaviani<\/a> and Lara Zielin<\/a>.

\nIntroducing Jennifer Worick<\/a>. Named one of the four funniest bloggers in America by Reader’s Digest, Jennifer Worick is a New York Times-bestselling author of more than 25 books, including \u201cThe Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating & Sex\u201d and the brand-spanking-new \u201cBeyond the Family Tree\u201d and “Simple Gifts.” She writes the popular blog \u201cThings I Want to Punch in the Face.\u201d <\/a>For a complete list, check out http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/jenniferworick<\/a>. In addition, she is a blogger, social media strategist and all-around crafty gal. She lives in Seattle.<\/em>
\nJen’s a writing machine and was kind enough to fit in a baker’s dozen questions about how and why she writes, in between all her other projects. Maybe because we’re both Michigan grads<\/a>?<\/em>
