Q. I'm a student writing a paper. Will you answer a few questions for me?

I get these sort of requests regularly and as much as I'd love to help every time, I can't. I've found that often the questions require answers that need considerable time and research on my part...and in many cases, the answers can be found easily online.

Even if the questions are very short and I only had to spend a few minutes on each one, the average list of questions takes me at least 20-30 minutes. The more of these I answer, the less time I have for my own creative projects as well as all the other work-related tasks that go with them.

If you have SPECIFIC questions about my books, then I'll try to answer them.

And if you're a teacher with a class who is reading I'M BORED, I'm happy to respond. Please see the instructions at the bottom of this I'M BORED Classroom Activities page.
