There's that question that we all hate that is probably number one on this list - "What is your novel about?" - but something just triggered me to add something else to the list, and I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of things that irk writers across the boards.

Here's one of mine:

When someone asks "How many pages will be in your novel?"

Feel free to add!

Why does the question irk you?   :)

SunPhoenix:
A counter question I have to that is how big of the book is it designated for? Font size? Space or no space between Lines?

redneckwitch18:
"What genre is your story in?" People! It's not finished! When it's finished (final draft and everything) I'll tell you. Quit asking questions that I don't know. :-[

"Does it have sex/romance in it?" Are we in high school folks? (well actually i am but thats not the point) this is not hollywood or the OC or the playboy mansion!!!

Craz:
Mine: People who peek over your shoulder onto your labtop.

"So, um," The idiot says, peering at my screen with curious intent. "What's a [insert random phrase that just happens to be on that page]?"
