Today you get to ask any questions you want &#8212; about the new books, about my faith, about being a writer, about that suspicious-looking mole on the back of your neck &#8212; and I&#8217;ll answer them.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">The rules for you: <\/span>You have to ask the questions in the comments to this post. You may ask any question about any topic. It&#8217;s all fair game, unless I decide I don&#8217;t want to answer your question in a public forum. (So stop thinking of dirty questions.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">The rules for me: <\/span>I must answer the question without editing the video. So no cuts or fancy stuff. Just my own stream-of-consciousness rambling, even if I totally mess up. If necessary, I can do several videos to keep these at a manageable (i.e. watchable) length.<\/p>\n<p>Cool? OK, go. Ask away. And realize that, if no one asks any questions, the video of me just sitting there staring at the camera is going to be really boring. But don&#8217;t think I won&#8217;t do it. I will, and you&#8217;ll be sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve done some question-and-answer things before on this blog when it comes to writing, and my books, and how my wife and I met.
