Wil I'm sitting here watching the Rose Parade and I was wondering what Pasadena is like gearing up for this? Also do ever attend or is it considered it uncool for natives to attend? Btw Happy New Year
I still don't know very much about brain scans...
Here are three Star Trek-themed things that have come up recently. All of them made me laugh so hard I pooped a little, so they need to be preserved here for the ages. First, from Jimmy James, Inc: For the record, Wesley's dance crew was called Jiffy and da Popz. Next: Last night, Paul of Pa...
I'd love a copy. BTW when can we expect MFTF II?
anyone interested in a short fiction collection?
I have a question for everyone who reads my blog: if I put some short stories I'd written together into a little collection and sold it at Lulu, would you be interested? I ask this because I collected a few short stories into a limited edition chapbook for last year's PAX Prime, and it's been si...
Wil, I just order my copy - I've enjoyed all your books so far and absolutely loved your reviews on TVSquad (in fact those reviews are what lend me to this blog and all the wonderful things I've discovered thanks to you.) So I'm really looking forward to this and can't wait for future reviews. Good Luck! and Good Luck at wootstock - ever consider coming to NY State and doing a few shows?
In which Memories of the Future Volume One is released
I am beyond excited to announce the release of my newest book, Memories of the Future, Volume One. I worked harder on this book than anything since Just a Geek, and it wouldn't have been possible without a bunch of people, who I thank in the book, but wanted to thank here, as well: Andrew Hacka...
Wil, I watch Criminal Minds regularly so I was so hoping you weren't going to be the "unsub" but then... the eye in wall and I knew - "Wil's the unsub" - ok lets watch him get his creep on. And man you sure did. Great job!
Criminal Minds: The Audition
This is the first of five posts about working on episode four, Paradise, during season four of Criminal Minds. I spoke with CliqueClack.com about some of my production experiences, and I have a gallery of images from the shoot at Flickr. Please note that I've done my best to recreate my interact...
Wil, very, very cool music. I have always loved ambient music and this stuff is great - Thank you man - have a great day!!!
i'm kind of in love with magnatune
When I was up until 2 in the morning reading The Last Colony, I wanted a little music to fill up the rest of the room. My friend Andrew (yes, that Andrew, who edits all my books. Say thank you to Andrew if you liked Happiest Days) turned me on to Magnatune dot Com a couple of years ago, and sinc...
What a riot - I haven't laughed so hard in a while - thanks I needed that. I hope someday I can see you live but until then thanks for posting this.
audio from my performance at phoenix comicon
My performance on Saturday night in Phoenix went very, very well. I performed to a fantastic audience who filled up the room and made me feel cooler than I actually am. I performed Blue Light Special, from Happiest Days of Our Lives, and I read my review of Justice from TV Squad. I didn't have t...
Wil, instead of an anthology let me recommend an author who writes both novels and short stories. I have been a fan for over 30 years and have rarely been disappointed. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has awards and accolades as long as my arm and I can assure you they are all well deserved. She’s written many novels and short stories but what shes known best for is her character Count Saint-Germain, a four thousand year old vampire who is always the good guy in all her stories. She’s about to release her 20th book about the count and has written several short stories with him as her central character. Each story leaves you wanting more. Her latest group entitled Saint Germain Memoirs is available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Saint-Germain-Memoirs-Chelsea-Quinn-Yarbro/dp/1934501018/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196286932&sr=8-1). I know this is more fantasy then SF, but her use of language is well worth the side trip. BTW when your done give the book over to Anne if she’s into intelligent romance and history – the count never disappoints. http://www.chelseaquinnyarbro.net/index.html
BTW I almost forgot, you will probably find her in many of the anthologies listed here by the others.
MWM seeks SF Anthology for Casual Reading
I love SF novels, and count stories like The Forever War and The Ghost Brigades among my all-time favorites, but in the last year, I've grown very fond of the SF short story. Since an SF short story is what I hope to scrape out of my brains as my next writing project, I've been reading as many s...
Way to go Wil - enjoyed the show as always but especially great with you in it. Hope you had a great holiday and a have a great weekend with your son.
186, and some other NUMB3RS
The good news is that I packed and labeled 186 books to be shipped. Of those 186, about 30 are international orders that still need customs forms and postage, but the rest are ready to go. This brings us to the bad news, which is that I just finished now, an hour after the post office closed, t...
Wil, you got mentioned in TV Guide's Ask Ausiello as a scoop on upcoming guest stars on Numbers http://www.tvguide.com/ask-ausiello -- way to go. I love this show and can't wait to see you in action.
and now for something completely different
There was a time when I called myself an actor/writer. Then I realized that, saying it aloud, I was calling myself an actor, slash writer. While I suppose this would be immensely appealing to some people, it's not how I wish to be remembered by history, so I made an effort to call myself a write...
Wil, got your book today, read it today, laughed today, cried today (damnit Wil you just had to bring back the memories of finding George dead under the tree didn’t you) sniffle, sniffle.
I got it in pretty good shape (in New York State) it was a little bent but that in no way diminished the contents.
So here’s my review. First you should know that I grew up in the sixties (without the benefit of hippy parents, sadly) and came of age in the ’70’s (graduated HS in ’79). I’m afraid I spent waaaaay to much time partying in the ’70’s and early ’80’s to become a real geek so a lot of the stuff you talk about I wasn’t in on. However that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the passion with which you tell the stories or how well written the stories are and Wil, they ARE, they really are. Wil, I enjoyed the book very much and look forward to your efforts in fiction.
good news, great news, bad news
The good news is the hard covers were just dropped off. The great news is that they look beautiful, feel great, and are exactly the way I wanted them to be. The bad news is that I can't sell them, because PayPal still hasn't been able to hep me solve the item number problem when I try to ship mu...
Hey Wil, Happy belated Birthday!
happy birthday to me!
I have been absolutely overwhelmed with totally awesome birthday wishes from just about everyone I know, and just as many people who I don't know. Thank you! This trip around the Sun, my 35th 36th*, has started out better than I could have ever dreamed, and it keeps getting better. Now I'm goi...
I've just read it for the 2nd time and I think I cried even more. Thank you for sharing that moment with us.
Geek in Review: Gene Roddenberry: Boldly Going Where No One Had Gone Before
When I talked to my mom on Sunday morning, she asked me how the Hall of Fame induction went. "Good," I said. "It was better than I could have hoped." "Will you write about it, so your dad and I can experience what it was like to be there?" I smiled. I love it that she asked me to do that. Mom, t...
Ian Anderson should hook up with this guy and go on tour. Fracking Amazing!
go go gadget beatbox
Today is one of those days where I'm drawn to weird things. Listening to Ruby Vroom first thing in the morning will do that to you, I guess. Witness: I will not fall for a banana in my tailpipe, and I will get you, Gadget. Next time. Next. Time. (via netscape)
