   why is it that whenever a man does anything in the library or YA world, everyone goes nuts and overhypes it? (do not credit me!)

   Do you write for yourself, or for your imagined reader?

   Why did you have such a serious expression on your face while waiting for the traffic arrow to turn green this morning?

   I passed and waved, but you were very focussed. Brow furrowed. Grrr. Serious. Grrr.

   Can you give me one piece of advice you think might help me? (Interpret that as broadly as you like.)

   What’s the worst part about being a published author?

   or

   If, god forbid, you lost the use of your hands, would you rather write with a pen in your mouth (Mont Blanc or similar) or with a typewriter (old school, not electric) at your feet?

   (I also just wanted to say that I absolutely adored Empress. One of the freshest, most engaging pieces of new lit I’d come across in a long time. Thanks for the great read (and re-read!).

   Oooh this could be fun. Two days ago was my 12th wedding anniversary, and my wife and I had a conversation of what we were like before we met each other, so…How would you describe me when you knew me in High School?

    do you wish you were younger?

    would you want to go back in time, back to when you were in high school/college?
