Wil,
I know that you know this, but just to make sure that you know it:
You don't have to write fiction to be a great writer.
I know I'm not necessarily an expert on the topic, but in my mind, and I know that in the mind of the countless other geeks in the world, what you write about doesn't determine your success. It's how you write it.
You write very well, and I can tell that you're getting better. Write what comes naturally, but stretch your comfort level from time-to-time to allow your creativity to flourish. Don't let certain standards (such as "only fiction writers are successful") define the direction of your focus.
I love this piece. Keep up the great work.

From the Vault: a convenient literary metaphor
This was originally written in 2003, after I'd published Dancing Barefoot , and was still working on Just A Geek. At the time, I wasn't sure if I was a writer, an actor, or some combination of the two, though I was trying very hard to convince myself (and the Voice of Self Doubt) that I was just...
Yes, if you could at least provide the source of said Guinness bread recipe, I would be very grateful! This was another great story Wil, I have really appreciated getting to know about a fellow geeks life through his writing -- thanks!

in which a tale is told about the preparation of soup
Anne is helping a friend move today, so she went down to The OC last night, in order to avoid the hellish traffic that exists on the Southern California freeways between 6am and 10pm just about every day of the week. This meant that Nolan and I were alone last night, free to watch the original ...
I also just came here to say this!
Awesome job with the show, and nice FF shirt :D

The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary
I'm at w00tstock right now, and I haven't even seen the show, but I thought it would be fun to write a post in advance so anyone who watched The Big Bang Theory tonight would have a place to talk about it. If everything goes according to plan, this should post right as the episode is finishing o...
No, it's who. Really. I promise.

Memories of the Futurecast: Episode Two
Having clawed my way far enough out of fevertown to think and speak (mostly) clearly, I decided to take advantage of the lull in construction next door and record this week's Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm ...
I could not be more pumped about this book.
Super glad you're feeling (at least a little) better. I pawed through my PAX swag on Saturday, and I think that's why I was symptomatic by Sunday evening. Glad to see I probably won't die (assuming I have the same flu as you).
Woo Memories of the Future!
