2/9. Have you ever talked to a reader of your story? How did it go?
Fiction. After read-aloud, they liked what they heard. It was gratifying.
Non-fiction. I’ve been asked to autograph a few copies of my technical books. It was surprising.
2/5. If you found out that someone had to live your MC’s life (like in the “Stranger than Fiction” movie), would you change the story?
Not really. It would be very unpleasant for them. Likely fatal. But. The world is unpleasant.

2/8. What’s the most frustrating thing about writing?
Too many ideas. Too little time.
2/7. What’s the most rewarding thing about writing?
I get to read my fiction aloud.
2/6. Share an important or fun lesson you’ve learned as a writer.
Technical reviewers often know a lot more than I do. It means playing catch-up at the last minute. There can be a lot to learn. It's important to understand the topic well enough to decide on what's important and what's trivia that is only good for winning bar bets.

Not really. The MCs’ journeys are unpleasant. But. The world is unpleasant.
