Mr. Wallach, I have recently read your book 'We All Looked Up' and found it quite beautiful and heart wrenching. Two questions, however, have been following me around. One: Where did you find inspiration for the story line? Did you just happen to think it up, did you read a similar story, or what? Two: What was your hope in writing this book? I feel every author has an agenda of sorts and want to know yours.

Hey Bonnie,
So sorry I'm so slow. Thank you for the kind words.
1) The movie Melancholia was a big inspiration point for me. Go watch it!
2) My hope? Oh gosh, I don't know. I like to think I lead readers to question some of their certainties. If I accomplished that, I feel good. :)

Tommy Wallach:
I was wondering if you have any story ideas such as characters, items, or places that you've thrown out or given up on that I can use for one of my stories? The story that I'm thinking of is about an island where all story bits end up if they are thrown out or given up on. I've asked other authors so I can get a variety and some truth to the story. It's fine if you don't want to share any. Thanks. ~Hannah
