I began keeping the lids in a drawer, but my husband and I realized that despite the ridiculous number of yogurts we bought on a monthly basis, at least one piece was always missing. It seemed impossible to win even the most nominal prize.Around the same time, I was reading about yokai, which are supernatural creatures in Japanese mythology, some of which used to be human or were inanimate objects that came to life after a certain period of time. Many had specific roles or tasks, particularly in the household.I also read that people who are most susceptible to spirit possession (not that I necessarily believe in that) have low self-esteem. So I put my character in a support group for Spirits, Sprites, Apparitions and Disincarnate Essences, with the tagline "Do you want to stop possessing humans with low self-esteem and get some self-esteem of your own?"To read more of this interview, visit msmithbooks.com/2012/08/15/wordy-wednesday-interview-with-author-nina-post/About the AuthorNina Post is a fiction writer who lives in downtown Chicago.
