Hello!
I have been getting many, many messages in the past few weeks and cannot reasonably reply to all of them without choosing a member of my family to neglect, BUT!
For paid subscribers, I am very happy to do a Q&A aspect of this newsletter if you have specific questions for me about anything I’ve written. Maybe my answers will be informative for a broader readership, or maybe they will be useless ramblings into the ether!
Anyway, if you are a subscribing member of this enterprise, FIRE AWAY in the comments section below and I’ll answer for all to see in a forthcoming newsletter!
How does it feel for you as you straddle the line of comedy and tragedy in real life and real time? I deeply admire that you use your particular viewpoint(s) on the world, in tandem. You're able to use your sharp and broad sense of humor like a scalpel to do surgery on some of the very most infected and diseased parts of our world. Does doing this help you feel more regulated? Do you know how excellent at it you are at it and how helpful it is? This is a real question and also an excuse to say well done and thank you and keep going.
How do you think about the relationship between your serious writing and your comedic writing right now? I've really enjoyed reading both, and I'm just curious how you've been approaching that range of tone and subject matter recently.
