I would just like to thank you for writing such wonderful books, where to you get your inspiration from. Also are their any plans to make any of your books into films. ive put first phone call on my christmas list after devouring the excerpts you tempted us with over the last few fridays.
thank you again (meant to say that before i clicked send)
q Hi Mr. Mitch Albom! :) I really would like to ask what/who is your main inspiration in writing your novels? And why do you write books that mostly tackle about mortality? :) Hoping you could answer my question :)
Dear Mitch: A lot of my questions have already been asked. But I would like to know: How much do you outline your books before you start writing them? Do you know the main plot points before you begin, or do you just have a general idea where to start and where to end?
I love the way that your books are written in a simple way but carry a strong message. How many edits do you go through on average, and who edits them? Do you go back and shorten sentences to their essence, or write them that way in the first place?
q Does your own books have any impact on your life?
Good day Mitch. Q: 1.) Among the bestseller books that you've written, which do you want to be adapted into a movie? 2.) Filipinos are, by nature, loves spiritual and inspirational stories. Any particular books among your bests made you felt closure to Filipinos? Thank You and Hope to See you when you get here come February 2014.

q What prompted you to switch from non-fiction to fiction writing? Would you consider Tuesdays with Morrie a transitional book between the two genres? It often surprises my students when they discover your other books and learn that you are a sports writer also?
Mr. Albom, I have enjoyed all of your books and look forward to this new one. I enjoy writing especially short stories, prayers, and poems and my question is where would you suggest I look or turn to to have them published once or put into a book itself? A dream I have is to be published. Thank you for any response in advance, I truly appreciate it.
Please come to The Book Review in Huntington NY! Your stories are amazing, I could read them over and over again.

q Hello Mr. Albom. I just like to ask why you chose to include the Philippines in your book, "The Five People You Meet In Heaven"? I still can't forget my reaction when I learned about Tala. It is a very unforgettable book! I can't wait to read your new one!
I know this is like asking which one of your children you like the best but was wondering if Mr. Albom has a favorite book he wrote. I 've read & loved them all & even love the sports reporting,
qYour novels address some big life lessons, so I was wondering what life lessons you've learned from writing them? What have you learned from your own writing? Thank you very much, and I look foward to reading "The First Phone Call From Heaven"!

That's so-so true, I would miss my mom's voice too

Please tell what an aspiring writer should do to acquire the writing style
Q I have been a fan for years and your books have helped me through many hard times. I am just wondering how severe your mother's aphasia is and if there is any way it can be treated/put through therapy?
Does the views you've written about in regards to he afterlife reflect your own views. Enjoying listening to you read the audiobook! I'm on week three.
Q: Do you have a plan for the next book you will write that goes along these lines of this new book?
q: Do you find that the process of writing your books represents a kind of therapy or journey for you...?
Q Is this session going to be available for review? Just had an important call to come in so I have this on mute, but REALLY what to hear his responses.

What is the best advice you've ever received? And do you believe in mediums? Have you ever been read?
Which one of your books do you feel is closest to your heart?

Thank you Niki for answering. =)
Q Since your books seem to set themselves apart so much from others, are there any authors that you draw inspiration from, or any favorites of yours?
Q: The content of your books and the personal way with which you write them is so inspiring...how do you respond to the knowledge that faithful readers often vicariously experience life-altering changes after reading you? (asked the long-winded but well-intentioned one, lol!)

Mitch! I can't believe your doing a video chat, its awesome! Never have imagined that I'd be able to join the chat. I know you have alot of questions from many other readers, but wondering if you answer fan mail? I wrote a letter almost a year ago, and never recieved a response back..
How do you reconcile your dual personas as a sports writer/reporter and fiction writer?
q Do you know what you are writing before you sit down to write? Do you make an outline or just write?
