John Ohno Wouldn't that be interesting to aspiring writers, at least? (Or, if not 'aspiring', other writers who are experienced enough to appreciate shop-talk?) I know I'd love such an interview, since I listen to a lot of podcasts with the same format.

Francesco Rizzi I'm a reader, not a writer, but I care for problem-solving and LOVE hearing and learning about this topic in any context.
So, here's a +1 for you to share those sort of details, if you can, in some form. If you need someone to prompt you with "interview-style" questions every month or so... I can do it (badly), and I'm pretty sure there can be someone in the audience to do it much better than me

Parrish Gust Seamless, I have remarked in the past that your works are so effortless to read that it either spilled out of you like a fully formed man-child... or you worked really hard at it and crafted it meticulously. Had been curious, which is why I watched your two hour video AMA a few months ago. So I know it is the latter. Which is better. Better for the story, better for the readers and better for you since these works are something you can be proud of (dick jokes and all). Thasks for toiling and making such a rich and seamless world.

Ryan Corbitt That would actually be a great read; an entire interview, essay, novella, Infinite-Jest-sized novel on battling with problem-solving in writing. I dabble in writing for that exact purpose... not that I have a particular story I want to get published (or actually finish), or that I even think I'm a writer, I just find that problem-solving a story is a fun way to kill an hour/week/month/year.

Can't imagine how intense it is to logic-check and problem-solve stories like your JDATE series, and how impossible it would be to do sober lol.

My fingers are crossed for at least 19 more JDATE novels... not that I'm greedy or anything, more just a hopeful fan-boy sort of thing.

Nick Miller Shit, I'd be fascinated to hear you talk about that. Make another 2 hour video for the youtube channel talking about that, I'd eat it up.
