Albertican

I've never seen an AMA where the guest is giving honest straightforward answers and people are insulting him for it, and the insults get voted to the top while his responses are getting downvoted below the view threshold. If Brodie is such an asshole, why does he seem to be the most civil person on here?

The North Korean regime is a gang of inexcusably brutal, backward bastards. But part of what makes them so infuriating are the completely unfair picture they paint of Americans to their citizens. Because of this alone I think it's great that OP was able to go and directly represent his country to a bunch of North Koreans in a positive, constructive manner. There are now a few dozen North Koreans that know Americans as teachers rather than faceless monsters, and I think that's invaluable.

Interesting, thanks!

Thanks for doing this. Can you tell us the physical process you used to write the book? Do you write it out on a word processor, and if so which one? Do you use any tools to keep the story organised and consistent? What form do you give it to the editors and/or publishers in?
