Random Interview Saturday! C. S. Johnson
DISCLAIMER
The H. L. Burke Random Interview is not like other interviews. The questions are all over the place. They have no purpose. Their purpose is their lack of purpose.
There are nine questions because cats, but these nine questions are subject to change without notice, so the questions one person answers may not be the questions answered by the next author.
A MASSIVE explosion occurs. When the dust clears, our next author has arrived and it is C. S. Johnson!

The Interview
How
much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
The
same number of pecks of pickled peppers Peter Piper would pick if
Peter Piper was in a forced labor camp, although I guess he is in one
because at the end of the poem they can’t find the peck of pickled
peppers, and the tale of Peter Piper was written before “innocent
until proven guilty” was more of a mainstream thing. (If nothing
else, there’s no way Peter Piper would be rich enough to get
special privilege when it would come to the law. If he was, Peter
Piper would have his personal servant picking that peck of pickled
peppers.)
You
have superpowers. What are they and what do you do with them?
I
would have the power to make anyone in the world nap at the snap of
my fingers. I would use it for all sorts of funny things—I’ve got
to do something that will top that story of Napoleon taking a bath
and making a decision on the Louisiana Purchase—but probably mostly
on my children first and foremost.
They
say their version of “Hi!” while I write this.
I
know exercise is good for me, but it is not entertaining. What
methods do you suggest for making workouts more fun?
LARPing.
That is all.
What
is your ideal writing space?
I
would have a room with three or four different desks, one with a pool
desk, one with a regular desk by a window, and another one where I
could stand, and then probably one more where I could just have it on
my lap and move it. I would also like a minifridge nearby, but one
that magically cleaned itself so when I got into the mood to buy
something weird to eat while I write and then I don’t eat it, I
don’t have to worry about feeling bad I didn’t eat it.
You
can time travel in an oddly specific way that only allows you to
visit other authors. Where do you go and what do you do?
I
would go visit Charles Dickins before he wrote “A Christmas Carol”
and give him the right inspiration, only I would tell him to make the
Ghost of Christmas Future a woman in honor of my visit. I would also
tell him to be nicer to his wife.
Give
yourself a totally new look, as dramatic as you want. What is it?
Nothing.
I’m actually pretty happy with how I look. And I do believe I’ll
get my ultimate makeover in Heaven.
If
you had to write only in one crayon color for the rest of your life,
what would you choose?
Blue
violet, like the white springtime violets.
What
film era do you feel best represents your day to day life?
If
distractions were explosions, any Michael Bay film.
But
real life? Probably the nineties, since I haven’t shot a gun more
complicated than a Sig Sauer.
If
this question were any question in the world, what question would you
want it to be and how would you answer it?
42
for kicks, and a picture of a cat chasing a laser dot for giggles.
