==Brainstorm your questions==
The fastest and easiest way to conduct an interview is to send a list of 10 questions to your subject all at once.
To get started, write as many question as you can think of in 10 minutes in a quick brainstorm session. As with brainstorming best practices, don't worry about critiquing yourself and editing the list for the 10 minutes that you're working on brainstorming – just get as many down into the doc as you can think of!
Once you've done that, read through what you have and start editing out the questions that might not be the most interesting or create "conversation" in the interview. It's okay if you have more than 10 questions when you're done editing.
==Send your interview to your subject==
Now that you have a list of questions, click the blue Share button in the Google Doc and share the document with your subject. Be sure to put a note into the sharing box about the deadline you'd like to get answers back by – give your subject at least five days, or more.
