Afterword.io - Help build out my interview/standard post format questions?

Hi, I created afterword.io. I'm still building it out but the idea is to explore the backstories behind famous novels and the creative arts through interviews and insights from authors, artists, and other creatives. The goal is to educate, inspire, and spark the creativity of anyone pursuing writing, art, or building a product. I thought the name of my site is pretty neat, considering the Wikipedia definition:

An afterword is a literary device that is often found at the end of a piece of literature. It generally covers the story of how the book came into being, or of how the idea for the book was developed.

Could you please help me create my list of ~10 questions that will form my standard post format? I came up with this list quickly, but feel it may be too "scatterbrained" and perhaps not focused enough on the person's actual product/backstory behind it. (questions not in any set order yet)

1. Introduce yourself and the product you created
2. What advice would you give someone looking to follow in your footsteps?
3. Are there any books or resources that helped you which you would recommend?
4. What inspired the initial idea?
5. What unique challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
6. Where can we follow you?
7. What are you working on now?
8. What inspires you?
9. Were there special circumstances in your life that were influencing the final product?
10. What activities were driving your creative process?
