There's a separate word doc with an overall story outline and a third doc with notes (lines/jokes/factoids/ideas) to store all of that stuff as it hits me. As for how do you keep straight what has happened in the previous books, those are pasted into another, single Word doc which is of course searchable if I need to go back and check something. I don't know how old authors did it, I guess they just had tons of notebooks sitting around.

I have followed you through your whole literary journey (at least that I know of), since the 2007 paperback release of JDATE (love the acronym). I watched you evolve as an writer from having a rough "punk edge" to being more polished and skilled, to being more mature and polished but having that edge back, at least from my experience. How did you experience that Journey?

I've always been such a fan of your work; from your Cracked articles to your novels (I just preordered "What the Hell Did I Just Read"). Your writing style is so down-to-earth and topical of my generation. It's all so inspired. If I sent you my personal copy of "John Dies at the End" with a return package, would you sign it for me? It'd be an honor. If not, regardless, I'm writing to thank you so much for your work.
