OMG!!! I stumbled across the funniest blog post I've seen in months. Flavorwire.com posted a bunch of hackneyed author poses. It seems that authors tend to do the "Thinkers Pose" with a hand propping up their chins (hiding saggy necks?), or pose at their writing desks, with pithy gazes, or--yick--pose with a smelly cigarette dangling from their lips. Do you have an author's photo on your jacketflap?
If so, what photo crime are you guilty of?

Laugh riot! I think all these poses demonstrate on thing all writers have in common: We'd rather be behind the scenes than in front of a camera.
