This was your best interview yet! I never would have thought to interview myself. Your answers were hilarious. Thank you for this post, and all of the previous interviews, as well. Best wishes to you!

I'm glad you chose this final writer. You asked him the perfect questions, and his answers were witty and humorous. I enjoyed this interview as much as all the others, and learned a lot about your reasons and process. I wish you the very best on your writing journey.

Your Sunday morning '6'! Another well-written piece with an interesting main character! Lots of readers will be sorry to see your interviews go away. They have been fun and informative. This one is equally so!

One tiny spag issue:
"to try and write" I was always taught the correct way to state this is "to try to write' rather than assume an outcome. I could be wrong.

Without a doubt, hands down, this is your best interview yet. I don't think I know anything more about you, but the interview was hilarious. I really liked your response to your question to yourself about "What do you think people learned..." Your answer hit all the big points. All my own personal pet peeves. It's just getting people familiar with advanced editor. Larger font, no wall of words, make some paragraphs, readability, oh yeah and make sure to include a picture of Opie at the top of the article.

I, for one, will miss your expertise behind the proverbial interview wheel, as I am sure many of us will Terry.

For being so generous with tearing yourself apart I just have to give you one of my highly treasured, well-guarded six-star ratings.

Good, good job!

Hi Terry, very good, very cute answers. You've done a wonderful job on your interviews. I didn't realize until I just read this post how much time and research was invested in each interview. For that, I thank you, and I am sure that other FS members feel the same. Your ability to write with humor works. Humor sells. Don't lose that. Enjoy eating your Amy's Creamy Tomato Soup and the cheese sandwiches for lunch. I might eat a grill cheese, but Tomato Soup--never. Too much of a reminder of the lunches our Catholic school nuns served on Fridays, except it was just a half of a cheese sandwich and soup...but the fruit and ice cream was good. Lol. Who did you say that handsome dude was in the photo? Ohh, it's you. Nice. Thank you for giving so much of yourself doing these reviews. Good luck in your future writing ventures.

    Margaret, thank you very much! I am delighted you enjoyed my interview. Now, go find someone you admire and do an interview for the contest! Terry.

    Terry, perhaps writers are like TV personalities, backgrounds should be on a "need to know" basis. Lol. Thank you for always being so upbeat and positive. Sincerely,

You have done a fantastic job with your interviews, and I hate they are departing. I look forward to reading the contest entries. Good luck with your fiction writing. Have a blessed Sunday, and everyday as far as that goes. Shirley

Love this ....as I did most of the interviews I read. They were very informative and helped me as I started this (what might be very short) journey ...who knows?

    Ann, thank you for the six-star review! This should not be a short journey for you. You are good, and you have a few things to say! Terry.

    Yes but I have a very low boredom threshold? Knit one sweater, did one piece of Stained glass, did silver jewelry for about a year? You get the picture

    Well, there is that, but none of those gave you a virtual blue ribbon for your work.

Thank you for sharing this interview with us. I enjoyed reading and thought it was a good idea. I think you're a good author and can't wait to read more of your work.

you know how I love ketchup (I have a two-year-old granddaughter who is positive ketchup is an entree.)

    Barbara, thank you for the review. You are very kind. By the way, I have co-opted your first name for a character in a new satire I have written. It will probably be up this week.

    The character is not based on you, just using the name Barbara, Terry.
reply by barbara.wilkey on 28-Aug-2022
    Not a problem. Just make sure she's, young, intelligent, beautiful, and sexy and I'll be fine. LOL TEASING!!!!!

I like your writing and found it to be most interesting. Interviews are not as easy as one might think. My assignment in graduate school was to do a face-to-face interview at Balticon. I was so shy but learned how much some people enjoy talking about their passion.

I liked the way you interviewed yourself, Terry. You gave readers
some insight into your thinking and who you are. While you answers
are serious for the most part, you added some humor that made it
fun as we learned about you. I liked the q/a about your training as a
writer. I believe you are a very talented writer.
Thanks for sharing, Jan
