Kelly asked Michael Finkel:

Do you have a writing routine? If so, what does it look like: daily, when inspired, etc?

Michael Finkel I have no set routine -- or, rather, my routine is to not have routine. My work hours really depend on what stage of a project I'm in (researching, writing, editing, head-pounding-on-keyboard-in-frustration -- those are pretty much the classic four stages of non-fiction writing). When I'm actually in full-on writing mode, I prefer to write all night, but that's just me. I'm a natural night-owl. Everyone I believe needs to find what works for them.

Jenny Sharp asked Michael Finkel:

Michael, first time reader, long time poster. I read Stranger in the Woods and found it to be a wonderful story made all the more vivid because I am from the back country in Maine, or as we Mainers like to call it: Maine. More of a comment than a question? Thanks!

Hi Michael, I thought your book was excellent. I was attending Colby College during some of the time that Chris Knight was in the woods. Your book inspired me to write this poem: https://danielwpolk.org/2019/08/02/north-pond-hermit/ Thanks again for your fine writing and comprehensive storytelling? -Daniel W. Polk
