My book, MONSTER KIDS: HOW POKEMON TAUGHT A GENERATION TO CATCH THEM ALL, turns 2 in a few days. That's pretty cool! So I'd like to take some time to talk about what I've learned since its publication:

My memory is interviewing you about it over Twitter while I was visiting the tomb of Ulysses S. Grant

1. Your life probably won't change very much when your book comes out. But the way you write will. I loved writing Monster Kids, but I have a much clearer idea of what I want from my work going forward. I know more of my own strengths and am more attuned to what I want to work on.

Thank you for this. Mine comes out next Tuesday and I feel excited and also sick :)
