First I have to say you're my favorite modern author and maybe even of all time, but I do have a few things to ask.

  1. How do you approach writing? Do you plot the whole thing out first or just start writing? Do you do it in chronological order or some other way?

  2. How happy are you with your work? Are you an author who feels they just can't perfect their book or do you reach a point where it feels done and there's nothing more you can do?

  3. Any suggestions for someone interested in writing?

  4. Do you ever feel limited by fight club? I mean this in that every book I own of yours has the words fight club on the cover. Do you want to be known for another book besides fight club?

  5. Do you ever regret writing fight club? I ask this because it's definitely become a very popular piece of work, but is commonly misunderstood. Anthony Burgess I know really regretted writing a clockwork orange because many misinterpreted it as encouraging violence when really it was about growing up and actually discouraged it.

Sorry if this is a lot of questions. I'll be happy just reading the AMA and won't mind if you answer none or just a few.
