My local newspaper, Sun Chronicle, is running a Q&A with me today about Questionstruck.

Please let me apologize in advance for the photo. I am not mentally ill, and I am not, generally, a smug man. But somehow I look both mentally ill and smug in the photo. Sorry.

Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody, How Much of Us There Was, and The Way the Family Got Away, interviews me about Questionstruck at Word Riot.

I answered Michael's questions with questions. We planned it that way. I'm not just being a jerk. I think the format works. Some of the background of the Questionstruck project comes out, which is good.

Thanks, Michael. Thanks, Word Riot.
