There are bios, and then there are spiritual journeys: "Andrew Paul is a pen-for-hire who splits his time between the weird world of journalism and non-profit communication departments.

The Interview Project 11-20


Collection number two of The Interview Project. I would say these are fun but fun wouldn't be the right word. It wouldn't be the wrong word, just not the right one. Banana bread would be the wrong word. 'These are banana bread' doesn't even make sense. Who would say such a ridiculous thing? Not this guy, no …

The Interview Project 20: Saylish Haas


I've been friends with Saylish for a long time and because of this she likes to pick on me. Most of the time I deserve it. This one time, I was visiting Saylish's place of work (She co-owns the wonderful Next Act Pub), and she was doing her normal rounds. She usually welcomes me with …

The Interview Project 15: Clinton Carew


"Clinton Carew was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, where he resided for 11 months. It was during this time that he developed his proclivity for claiming to have been born in South Alberta and an ability to sleep when it is windy outside. This period in Lethbridge's history, known as mid-73, was marked by a subtle, …

The Interview Project 14: Grant Wawrzynek


Biograntphy: "Grant, 24/M/Illinois, USA. High school graduate and submarine mechanic. Superpower: Ability to say out loud what everyone else is thinking." I first met Grant whilst getting my ass kicked by a group of Orcs just outside of the Redridge Mountains in the Eastern Kingdoms. I was doing my damnedest to pown this Kobold jerk who was …
