Hi!! Loved Me and Earl and the Dying Girl , one of the funniest books I've ever read! I wanted to know... what keeps you motivated to write each day, do you follow some kind of routine? Thank you!!

actually my motivation is always that i feel like i can make something better than the last thing that i made. i'm proud of me and earl but i don't feel satisfied with it—or with the haters—i'll probably never feel totally satisfied with anything. this may sound horrible or depressing but it's actually very energizing to me to think that there's always room for improvement—(less)
