Goodreads asked Amanda Vaill:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Amanda Vaill Go for a walk and talk to the problem. If it's not better when I sit down at my desk again, I skip the part I'm stuck on and come back to it later.

TIMOTHY asked Amanda Vaill:

Hi Amanda, Loved “Everybody Was So Young.” Bittersweet. Beautiful. Who doesn’t wish they were there at one time or another? No one I think. You’re very clever. How do you do it? Your background, heritage, DOB etc. - all unavailable so I’ll leave it alone. Am curious though. You could market that skill. Tim O. Boston

Goodreads asked Amanda Vaill:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tim Kotora
Tim Kotora asked Amanda Vaill:

Not a question? but a thank you for Everybody Was So Young. Just finished it with tears and much joy. Read Honoria’s book twice in the 80s. Your book made me love the Murphys more, made me angrier at Hemingway’s betrayal, made me fed up with Fitzgerald’s childishness. I know them, now, a little, because of your loving scholarship and hard work and artistry. All the best. Many fetes.
