Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Are you a Baby Boomer?

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To stay honest and inquisitive, with yourself and everyone around you.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

My high school didn't have a newspaper. During high school, I reviewed manga, since I got to keep them afterwards.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

The one with Supergiant - hearing from a creator is super satisfying.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

The ol' Shia LeBoef: just do it. Empty advice doesn't help, finding the people who will give you honest answers, even if they hurt, does.

When's the best time to pitch you?

I'm the one that does the pitching.

What's your favorite drink?

Kombucha.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

Only in a slightly different chair, playing a game or reading a book.
