What can @wilw tell us about Calgary, Alberta at the end of April? Rumours of the full original cast of TNG together on stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary?

Because it's a FAQ: some thoughts on self-publishing
Reader M asked me: I was wondering what your experience with Lulu.com has been to self-publish your books? Did you engage (heh) them for marketing? For editing? Or simply for publishing?? This sort of inquiry is pretty much a FAQ at this point, so I thought I'd share a slightly-edited version ...

I'm selling some autographed books next week
Anne and I unloaded a lot of stuff from storage last week, and I discovered that I have a lot of books that probably want to find a new home. So this is just a heads up: next week, I'm going to offer signed copies of the Games Matter chapbook I made for PAX this year (I have about 40 copies) and...

It's not enough that you're on Eureka, The Guild and Big Bang Theory?
Now you want to take over the Emmys from Neil Patrick Harris as well?

Pretty much all of Comicon was awesome. However, there was one thing that was decidedly not awesome, and though I had initially decided not to talk about it in public, it's bothered me since it happened, so I wrote about it on G+ earlier today. I'm cross posting it here, though, because it's imp...
What you really need is to offer is a nice tight plunging Baby-T for the ladies that reads "Your neutrinos are drifting"

Is this something you can share with the rest of us Amazing Larry?!
Anne went to bed before I was tired last night. Being a good husband who doesn't want to get The Wrath, I opted to head into my office on the other side of the house to watch a little TV before I went to sleep, instead of sitting in our bed and watching TV there. (Yes, we live in a house that is...
So you didn't mention Eureka - but you didn't not mention Big Bang Theory. Any hope of Evil Wil and his demonic beard popping up again sometime? Or even an extended version of an existing episode with 21 extra seconds would be welcome.

If everything goes according to plan, I should release Hunter later today. It's 2500 words, about the length of what you'd read in a magazine, I think, and I'm pricing it at 99 cents, for people who want to buy it. I'll eventually put it here or wil wheaton books for free, for those of you who a...
Dude. Either you're not really Just a Geek or she's not really your wife. No way that a geek ends up with a +10 Babe of Hotness like that!

"I have to tell you," Jonathan Coulton's wife said to me on the last night of the cruise, "how wonderful your boys are." "I have two daughters," Peter Sagal's wife told Anne, "and I hope this isn't weird or creepy, but I really hope they meet guys like your sons." "Dude, you know you raised your...

A friend of mine recently accomplished one of those things which is worthy of being celebrated with champagne, so I went to the store this afternoon to get her a bottle. I picked out a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, which is Anne's and my favorite, and walked up to the register to pay. On my way, I th...
In a fortunate bit of miscommunication, Wil never got the email saying that Hank Azaria had already been cast, keeping him from being typecast as Evil. Unfortuntaely, someone flipped the switch on his back anyways, leading to the whole unsavoury BBT episode, "The Frogurt Enema Recombination".

This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...

Wesley Crusher's Sweet-Ass Motherfucking Bouffant
When I was a teenager pretending to fly a spaceship, I got to do a lot of really cool things with a lot of really cool people. The price of admission to this wonderful world, though, was the most annoying hairdo I've ever experienced in my life. I called it Wesley's Helmet Hair, because it did n...

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "I will never again in my life see something this epic, so I may as well pluck my eyes out with a spork right now." It's an understandable reaction, for I had it myself ... but before you get all sporky on your face, you may want to head over to Joh...
You want to write? Abandon the romantic view. Take the pragmatic, Heinleinian (if that's a word) view:
Rule One: You Must Write
Rule Two: Finish What Your Start
Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order
Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market
Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold

Two choices for you:
Do it.
Or don't do it.
There is no try.

In his blog today, Neil says: The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like ...
More Canadian Comedy goodness to check out:
The Vestibules (Zalgon 26 McGee and Bulbus Bouffant are two of my favourites)
Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie (many very Canadian references, but The War of 1812 is a must-listen for all Americans)
The Arrogant Worms (Too many great songs for words, but Carrot juice is Murder provides a great intro (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmK0bZl4ILM))

The Frantics
I took the title of my dirty words post from a Canadian sketch comedy group I have loved since high school. They're called The Frantics, and they absolutely rule. I first heard a sketch of theirs called "Last Will and Temperament" (colloquially known as "Mister Muldoon's Will") on Dr. Demento in...
