You asked the right questions of one of the most entertaining writers on FS. I have been a fan of HW since I first read his work, way back when.
Particularly liked the paragraphs on dialogue, and the reference to action and speech tags, I read two websites on each and ordered, "Master Lists For Writers."
This interview was not only a great insight into Lee, I also learned a great deal.
Thanks for sharing!

Comment from estory
I thought it was an interesting interview, You asked plenty of relevant questions that orchestrated it, and shepherded it along. What really came through was Humpwhistle's personality, and we really see how that shapes his humor in his writing. I also share his admiration for O Henry, I'm reading several of his stories and poems now, and I definitely see the connection and influence. Read Ransom of Red Chief today. estory

Thank you for reviewing this too! I had never heard of the Ransom of Red Chief but read it and thought it was great as was Mr. Humpwhistle. Terry.
Comment from Jerome Goldberg
I assume that I am rating the responses and not the questions. I found the responses to be well written, interesting, at times humorous and definitely worth reading.

Thanks so much for sharing this interview with humpwhistle, Terry. I'm sure I'm no different than anyone else on FS when I say I've always found his writing and his sense of humour fascinating. The same goes for this interview.

That was really nice and interesting to read. It is so good to see that other authors sometimes struggle or use the same motivation as I do, makes me feel validated in a way. Thank you for sharing!

Hello Terry,
Nice attempt at eulogizing and encouraging a writer, otherwise, such interviews are just like 'writing for the sake of writing.' It's my opinion. I hope you won't mind.
Your style of writing certainly deserves to be lauded.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello, Terry,
You have portrayed one of my favorite writers on FanStory with aplomb.
I so enjoy reading Lee's offerings. They are not only exceptionlly well-crafted, but they are creative and filled with rich and engaging dialogue, the likes of which I have seldom encountered anywhere.
I admire Lee's topics, characters, tempo.
I also admire Lee's reviewing skills: honest and true.
P.S:
The best â??twistedâ?? ending would be for the Detroit Tigers to have a winning season... Just sayinâ??! đ?¤ª
Thank you for sharing!
