I have been asked this question on a few occasions. Open Interview is a practice that I have employed as a new writer for several years. This practice works to facilitate the process of discovering your own “core” voice, or the areas of interest where you are most expressive. For this reason, I always prefer to open the interview with a real question, rather than a canned response.
In the case of open interviews, it is much easier to get me to open up and talk to me directly about my writing. I usually ask for a brief synopsis of my writing and then get to work.
I am a huge fan of getting to know you. This is especially true when I meet someone for the first time. As much as I like to write about myself, I like to get to know my readers very well, too. And I like to ask questions that help me get to know them. This is one of the best ways to get to know a person.
I like to get to know my readers well because I like to talk about my writing. I have a tendency to write about myself in a very personal way. Since I write in my own voice, it sometimes makes it hard to know who my readers are. And that can make it hard to get to know them.
The thing about this is that I can’t guarantee that I’ll get to know you if I don’t ask you to write about something you are interested in. And I don’t know what you want to write about yet. What I do know is that I like to ask questions that help get to know people that are already a part of our readership, and that are interested in answering a question.
This can be a little tricky because, well, you can ask a question that is related to what you are already interested in, but that may not be what you are actually interested in. Of course, if you are already interested in something, then it is unlikely that your question will be a good one. But in most cases, if you want to know something or if you already know something, you can ask a question and see what comes of it.
Questions can be very sensitive and you can sometimes get annoyed when you are trying to find something that is interesting about the subject matter of your question. Of course, some of the most difficult questions are ones that are actually about how people approach things. So in our example, we are trying to figure out what the answer to the question is.
The “open” question, by definition, is one that is not closed. It is one that has yet to be explained. So if you ask a question, you have to wait until you have the other person’s opinion and then you can ask them again and see what comes of it. So that’s one question we often like to ask, or at least like to try to ask.
Basically it’s like asking what one should eat for lunch. The answer is usually “just make sure you get enough of the right things to keep your digestive system happy,” meaning that one should eat a lot of vegetables. That is, we should be eating an abundance of vegetables. However, the question is difficult to make because it’s hard to figure out what is an adequate amount of vegetables to get your digestion humming along at a maximum.
I am a huge fan of the open-ended interview questions, but to make the question more specific we’re going to start with the question, “what do you want to eat for lunch?”. In this case you will probably want to pick up some vegetables. We’ll give you some hints as to what you should eat to get your digestive system humming along at a maximum.
