They really should have given him a more interesting final arc, though.

Did you get much of a sense of what the relationships are like among the actors and between the actors and the crew? Is it very familiar or more sort of friendly but impersonal? I mean, I've seen a video of Bryan pointing a penis-shaped water gun at Aaron in a scene that calls for an actual gun, but what about the general tenor of conversations around the set? Is it cliquey?

Hi Dr. Tucker! As the most experienced doctor in any given room, what's your approach to keeping your knowledge current and incorporating new information or perspectives into your practice? And what influence would you say your professional community (i.e., your workplace, your specialty, medicine in general or any other community you identify with) has on your practice from day to day?

  • What are your current top three meals in NYC under $20?
  • What's your favorite city to eat in?
  • What's the most delicious thing you've ever made?
  • Can I come try out a restaurant with you?

Hi Mary! Can't wait to read your book.

I have several questions, which you're welcome to answer all, some or none of:

  • Are you sure it's "copy edit" and not "copyedit" or "copy-edit"? I can never decide.
  • Do you follow New Yorker style in your personal life?
  • What widely respected rule do you hate most? (Mine is "Never end a sentence with a preposition.")
  • Do you have any favorite clichés? Least favorite?
  • When I worked on the copy desk of my college paper, an editor told me that everyone secretly hates copy for making their lives more difficult in the middle of the night. This coincides pretty closely with the experience that led my mother to quit her newspaper copy editing job in a huff. In your experience, how do copy editors tend to be viewed by the rest of a publication's staff? How about the writers?

Thank you for this AMA!
