Are you good with tax returns? No, seriously — is there something that particularly bothers you about someone’s behavior or the way they do things?
 
When you sleep do you dream about videogames or operating systems?

I don't think those are a thing in Argentina? That or I have been cheated out of a lot of money... Wouldn't be the first time XD

As for the other (real) thing: oh, yes. But I'd rather keep quiet about it until it crosses some sort of unacceptable threshold. I'm not one to start wars, but by God I end them if needs be.
How did you get good at writing?
I think it was a combination of getting a job that required me to write a lot and do it in an engaging way (it was heavily click-depedant) and passively honing my skills by reading tons of other people, like Stephen King, Barbara Wood, Ronna Jaffe, Ken Follet, Wendelin van Draanen, Jon Bois, Zach Handlen and Ray Hardgrit.

I essentially took the Lovecraft approach of imitating someone I admired (in his case, Edgar Allan Poe) until my own style could grow from theirs.

Not sure where I'm at, though.

I'm usually way too exhausted to even process sleep TBH.
