Question:

What are the qualities of your "ideal" author? (The cheesy version of the question being: Describe Mr./Ms. Write.)

Answer:

Ideal author: productive; centered; contacts me when there's a problem but never whines, just helps me focus on how to fix it; goal-and problem-solving oriented; and just a general nice person who sees our work together as a collaboration and recognizes that I always have her best interests at heart.
