Goodreads asked Andy Weir:

How do you get inspired to write?

Andy Weir Ideas come to me all the time. The hard part is actually buckling down and writing. That's a constant problem for a lazy guy like me. I set rules for myself for the workday hours. I'm not allowed to do most of the stuff I like (like browsing the internet for non-research purposes, watching TV, etc.)

Matt asked Andy Weir:

Hi Andy, I thoroughly enjoyed your book. How authentic is the tech you wrote about - I mean, it all sounded quite plausible and theoretically possible (from a non scientific / engineering background).. But is it? Thanks - keep up the good work! Matt

JJ asked Andy Weir:

First, I really enjoyed the book even though it kept me up into the early hours reading. Mark Watney's personality (as well as intelligence) manifests itself throughout the story. It gives him the drive persevere as well as make some interesting and funny log entries. How much of your personality/character did you impart into Mark Whatney?
