orc-hestral asked:

Hey uhh... I'm reading American Gods and may I just ask... did you actually write that? You took time to sit down and write... That Scene??? .... Why??

Because as far as I knew, nobody had written anything like it before, and it let anyone reading know what they were in for. If they kept going after Chapter 1 and were offended on the way they only had themselves to blame.

theprincessamirah asked:

Something I admire in your novels is your distinct voice. Do you have any advice for honing one’s writing style and voice?

Write a lot. Then keep writing. Voice is the stuff that you can’t help.

mater-from-cars asked:

My guy you might remember me from a while ago but I gotta ask, why is David Tennant just constantly in danger? I'm thinking about getting into the show, and I've read the posts and seen the gif sets of him on fire, like is he fine with it?? What are your and his thoughts on it? Is he okay?

David Tennant was never in any danger. Except when Ollie the dog bit him instead of Famine.

downtown-surround asked:

What are your thoughts on fans writing NSFW content about Aziraphale and Crowley? Is this a thing that they partake in, or do they avoid it?

I have no thoughts.

authordreaming13 asked:

What is the dumbest writing advice you have ever heard?

“Write what you know” when it’s used to mean “don’t make things up”.

officialjeremystrong asked:

Has it been stated what the first scene that was filmed was? For David, Michael, and in general? 'Cause I know Michael's last scene was the church one, and it made me curious as to what the timeline was when filming. (If it's been said already somewhere just ignore me I've still got some digging to do with behind the scenes videos and still need to pick up the scriptbook so I'm probably just not aware at this point.)

It was Crowley and Aziraphale on the bench at St James Park.

you-are-a-fishmonger asked:

I know I've sent you a lot of things but also are you aware that there is an ice cream company called big gay ice cream (really good ice cream you should try it if you haven't) that makes an ice cream flavour called "American globs" which I assume is a reference to American Gods

I am aware. I even wrote something about the creation of the American Glob in the Big Gay Ice Cream Book.

yuurisoutofyourleague asked:

I'm rather new to Good Omens, so I apologize for my ignorance. But I've seen several posts referring to Crowley as Archangel Raphael. Was that who they were before they fell? Sorry if you have already answered this

That’s a fan headcanon thing for some fans.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am a goblin doctor

• Doesn’t know what you have, but will at least come up with a viable plan
• Lost last shreds of book smarts two years ago
• Swears, scratches head, rambles in front of pt
• “I’ll call you back later because yeah idek”
• If you show me gnarly injury I’m going to acknowledge it. If your hand looks like mince, that’s just reality boo
• “Don’t worry, I’ve done this to myself.”
• Walks circles around the room looking for my stethoscope for the fourth time today god fu-
• “Now, this will be cold and uncomfortable…” *cracks open lube*
• Yeah my hair needed a cut half a year ago and I look like a racoon but I’m adhering to hygiene rules and that’s just about where my fucks mysteriously dry up
• *drops instrument on the floor* “Well, we’re not using that one. Let’s see if we manage without!”
• “Please look away while I look this up… I’m not even thirty, I don’t know everything”
• Has unprofessional shouting match with pt that ends up having favourable outcome
