A Brief Interview With Anonymous Lawyer

I submitted to an interview, in character, with a blogger over at "beaver dam french club."  It was sorta fun.  Any site that Michael Showalter agreed to an interview with, I'll say yes without even a second thought.  Michael Showalter's funny.

This seems like as good a moment as any to mention that, for the cause of book publicity, I'm pretty willing to take part in whatever website-related activity anyone would like me to be part of.  More than happy to do an interview, write a guest piece about something, do an online chat about the book once it comes out, take post requests for the Anonymous Lawyer blog, let you run a post you particularly like, take some Q&A about law school, or about writing a book, or about some combination of those two things, which I guess are the two things I'm most equipped to talk about, but really pretty much anything about anything, in character or as myself.  I'm just putting that out there.  There'll be some more proactive and organized stuff I'll hope to do as the book gets closer to publication, but, really, if you have some way you want to use me to get some more readers to your blog, or anything like that, I'm probably more likely to be interested than, say, Ian McEwan.  I don't know Ian McEwan.  Maybe he does this stuff too.

What a generous offer.

Thanks, I might take you up on that. :)

Thanks again.

Haha, I love it.

As far as you getting coverage around the 'net, I'd love to see you and Mr. &Vodka (http://wingsandvodka.blogs.com/blog/)
do something together. Being a UT 1L, he's probably my favorite blogger (behind you, of course). I don't really know what you two could do, but I'd love to see it.

Hey Jeremy, I like your blogs, all of them. I posted a few links on my blog about you, including my favorite AL post. I hope that's ok. Keep up the good work, especially the "Trying to be funny stuff."

I recently graduated from college, and am trying to figure out what kind of job to take. I like writing, but don't think I could make a career out of it. I was leaning towards law school, but I didn't get accepted. Maybe next year. Maybe not. Maybe something entirely different. I'm not sure, but I put all my feelings on the blog.

I dunno. AL seems like a total joke in that interview. If that was the first thing I read, I'd never think he was a real person, in contrast to most of the stuff on the blog.

Yeah, AL doesn't seem real in the interview, but the questions made reality hard... but your comment does remind me to make sure to keep in mind that I need to be careful he doesn't completely become caricature, at least not to any greater degree he already has.
