Mel
Mel asked B.J. Novak:

How do you deal with writer's block?

Bonnie
Bonnie asked B.J. Novak:

You've had a very successful writing career in Hollywood - it's clear you've had a long interest and talent in writing. What made you decide that now is the time to write/publish stories (instead of continuing to channel your creative energies into script writing)?

Marilia
Marilia asked B.J. Novak:

BJ, I can't wait to read your book but my question today is: is Mindy as amazing as she seems or is it all just an elaborate act?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked B.J. Novak:

I absolutely love One More Thing, but after listening to the audiobook, I'd have to say that I loved that even more. How did you decide which of your famous pals would voice which parts? (Having Mindy read the entirety of Missed Connection was so perfect.)
