So one of my best friends was reading my website ( Stephen Carver) and decided that he, too, must answer my standard GCC blog tour questions. So here, for your reading pleasure, are his answers!

1. My typical writing day begins when I get into work and sit down at my desk. I logon to the lovely computer I have (flatscreen, baby!) and begin opening emails. While much of my business writing IS in email form, I do also occasionally write a proposal or two to go out and get additional monies for the company I work for. This provides me with two things: money to pay the bills, and more money to pay the bills. So, while my bills are being paid, I am usually distracted from what I REALLY want to do, which is acting and directing theatre and hopefully someday, film, which at the moment, DOESN'T pay the bills.

2. Because I’m not writing a book but instead writing proposals to generate more business for my company, inspiration isn’t required. Usually, only an email asking for a response to a Request for Information (RFI), Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Bid (RFB) will do. (Collectively, we call these RFx…that’s a buzzword in the biz. How cool am I, what?)

3. I share no traits with any of the characters who send me the RFx…except that we all want to make money the old fashioned way…by paycheck.

4. I’d have to say limitless books, because there are always margins and if someone really wanted to read my response to their RFx in the margins of a book, then more power to them because I figure I could scrounge up some writing utensil and get the job done.
