Playing video games with my husband is one of the most fun things I've ever done. Even when he's playing single player Skyrim/Legend of Zelda/Assassins' Creed, I'm there next to him on the couch, pointing out stuff he's missed (ingredients, upcoming enemies, etc).
Since we recently moved and all of our electronics are packed away, we have no video games for the foreseeable future :( Guess it's time to move on to tabletop games!

Today, I'll wrap production on the latest series of audio books I've been doing. It's been ten long days, and though I genuinely adore the people I'm working with, I'll be happy when I get to the last word on the last page, because... I'm going to start work on a different and awesome project on...

Considering you wore an I <3 <3 The Doctor shirt and that AWESOME scarf to go to ECCC....You definitely MUST wear a bow tie and fez. It's only rational.

This Friday, I'm heading to Melbourne to present Video Games Unplugged with Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub. The show is going to be amazing: the MSO will play music from games like Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain, and Final Fantasy. As the music plays, they'll show the games on a huge screen. And did I ment...

Dear 12 year-old Wil: Some day, you're going to have this in your office where you get paid to make up and write stories. Signed, Adult Wil (Who still can't believe it.)

Don't worry, Wil. We'll get her to like Doctor Who and all things nerdy! You're a great example, and Jeff (@cryanathus) and I will help as best we can!

I came across a bunch of posts that I'd marked as drafts, but never published. Most of them are ideas that never turned into actual posts, or things I wrote and decided not to post for some reason I've since forgotten. This one was originally written in November of 2009. I'm not sure why I left ...

Oh, Wil. You just made me snort coffee ALL OVER my keyboard. Now, I was raised in a fart joke/toilet humour family, so poop jokes are nothing new to me. However, I have never encountered a CAT poop story. This is comedy gold, good sir. I can sympathize with you on the stink too, my cat loves to catch mice and lizards and if those don't produce the foulest stench on the planet, I don't know what does.

There is a tree near my house, that has probably been there for years, just doing its tree thing, watching patiently as families come and go, empires rise and fall, and Isengard is flooded. I'm sure it's a beautiful tree, cheerfully trading carbon dioxide for oxygen, providing shade, and most li...

Greetings from Vancouver, where the local hockey club is still in the playoffs, and the sky above our heads is the color of television, tuned to a dead channel (in 1980). I am having a wonderful time on Eureka, keeping notes in my notebook so that I can write about the experience of making these...

When I started my blog almost ten years ago, I made a dedicated effort to write something new every day. I figured that it was good practice for me as a level zero writer, and I also knew that the only way to keep readers engaged was by providing new content all the time. As the years rolled by,...

This was originally written in May of last year, just after I watched the space shuttle Atlantis blast off into orbit. On the anniversary of the Challenger disaster, I thought it was worth reprinting: On January 28, 1986, I was home from school with the flu. I remember that, no matter what I di...

I am totally thrilled that 419 of you entered the autographed book lottery, and I'll be honest: it's weird to me to think of choosing "winners" who get to buy something from me, but that's just my damn liberal guilt, I guess. (And, I think I said this before, but in case I didn't: the Bursar at ...
I am SO interested in this. Being one of "The Nine" would seriously make my year! :D This is my Twitter acct, so it should have my email attached, but if not, it's apvaughan AT hotmail DOT com.

Yesterday, I said: I found nine hardback copies of The Happiest Days of Our Lives that I must have put there when they first arrived at my house a couple of years ago. They look as perfect as they did the day they were taken out of the box. So I have this idea to sell them, that goes like this:...

I love these alignment charts that are currently going around the Internets at the speed of meme; it isn't very often that D&D and pop culture references overlap, after all. As you can imagine, I especially love this one: There are several other charts at Mighty God King, where they're in the ...

I'm 24...definitely not too old for the hug and the kiss on the top of the head. I am also not too old to snuggle with Mom on the couch while watching BBT (that is, when I get to see her). She's cozy!

I love that you love being an awesome parent, no matter how cheesy it may seem to your kids. My mom is the same way, and I love it. I hope one day, I can be the same awesome kind of mom she is
