Something New: Video Q&A

We'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. But I thought it might be fun to try it a new way: via video blogging.

So here's what I have in mind. Today you get to ask any questions you want -- about the new books, about my faith, about being a writer, about that suspicious-looking mole on the back of your neck -- and I'll answer them.

The rules for you: You have to ask the questions in the comments to this post. You may ask any question about any topic. It's all fair game, unless I decide I don't want to answer your question in a public forum. (So stop thinking of dirty questions.)

The rules for me: 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.

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't think I won't do it. I will, and you'll be sorry.

1. Did you go to Christian school (either k-12 or college)?

2. Do your children go to Christian school? (um, if they even go to school. I don't know how old they are.)

3. Does your wife read your blog?

1. Are you going to do any book signing tours?

What's your favorite breakfast cereal? (What? I like cereal and random food questions. And I'm really hungry right now. :))

Which came first the chicken on the egg?

(ha! have fun with that one!)

Jamie said...

If you weren't a writer of books and weren't using this blog to promote them, would you still write a blog? If so, what would you blog about?

Ann said...

if you could go back in time and redo one day of your life, which day would it be and why?

1) what is your favorite kind of doughnut?
2) If you were me, what question would you ask you?
3) who was your favorite elementary school teacher?

Janna said...

I thought of three more -

1. Do you live in the same town where you and your wife grew up?

2. If you HAD to leave Texas (for whatever reason, none of our business) where would you want to live?

3. How do you conduct interviews for the articles you write (email, phone, in person)?

Are you still taking questions?

If you are, I was wondering what happened to the fake Jason on twitter?

Anthony said...
