Love Michael’s work. I found the part about dialogue super interesting. It seems he’s blessed with some funny people in his life, as well. There are times when his wife or sister will rattle off a great punchline and then his job is to capture that.

Question for Michael: I’m curious how you organize your writing life. If i understand correctly, writing Situation Normal isn’t your full-time deal. How/where/why/when do you find the time to write your stories?

dear alex,

i love you and i love this.

things i specifically love about this:

-- peanut butter

-- you are your only real competition

-- bring Wilder into your world as much as you can

-- you can say something unexpected, something vulnerable, something a little absurd, and then because humans usually want to get along with other humans, they’ll mirror your response, and then you’re off to the races.

thank you again, both of you!

love,

myq
