Q:?What is?Terrible Nerd?about?

A:?It?s about being a part of the first generation of kids to have a computer.? It?s about my love of technology, the people I met because of it, the things I got to do, friends I have made and the careers that I got to have.

?

Q:?How did you become interested in joining the?Courier?

A:?I was always interested in writing.? I went to Arthur E. Wright Middle School and started writing on the?Spartan?newspaper. I won an award when I graduated in 8th grade.? I joined the?Courier?staff my sophomore year of high school.

?

Q: Why did you choose to write about your love of technology?

A:?I have always loved computers and technology.? In some ways, computers were more interesting back then than they are now.? They were special and kind of hard to use. Not a lot of people understood how to use them, and it was a super interesting and geeky thing.? I decided that I wanted to write a book that showed my excitement.

?

Q: What is the message of your book?

A:?I try not to be ?preachy? in my book.? High school sometimes sucks, sometimes it is fantastic and sometimes it is okay.? Looking back, I am grateful for the experiences I had there and the people I met.

?

Q: How does it feel to have accomplished writing a book that documents your time in high school?

A:?I had the most fun writing about when I was in high school.? Technology was most new and interesting then.? When you grow up, you do boring stuff like getting a job and dealing with people.? The most interesting part to write about was when I was young, and I think it is the most interesting part to read.

?

Q: Do you have any plans for the future? involving your writing?

A:?I am thinking about ideas for my next book.? One idea is about the first computer magazine and how the earliest computer magazines were made.
