Hey Jason! I know a lot of people ask you about stuff because you're a NYT best selling author, but I honestly wanted to ask... how are you? Are you feeling all right? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm not asking because of a particular reason... I just hope you're well. And I think that all of our favourite authors deserve to be well.

Thank you for asking, it means a lot. It's been a difficult couple of years but nothing about my experience is unique, some people close to me have gotten very sick and I've struggled to adjust to being a full-time author (it can be an extremely unhealthy job, as some famous authors of the past have demonstrated). But it would be crazy for me to complain in public when, at the end of the day, I'm getting paid a lot of money to stay at home and make up funny stories.

Hey Jason! I wanted to know what the inspiration was for the Soy Sauce. Have you ever experimented with recreational psychedelic drugs like LSD, DMT or psilocybin or was this just an idea that popped up in your head and made for a good book plot? Love the JDatE series, they turned into some of my all time favourite books. Take good care of yourself

I first read JDATE around 9 years ago when I was in high school. It was the book that made me realize that reading can actually be engaging and enjoyable instead of just some bullshit a teacher forces you to do. Since then I've preordered every subsequent book of yours and I'm psyched for If This Book Exists You're in the Wrong Universe! Sorry this wasn't a question?
