HUNTER is here.
Hunter is a short Sci-Fi story set in a dark and desperate world. It is just about 2500 words, which is about the length of a story you'd read in a magazine. I'm not really sure what the appropriate cost is, so I'm experimenting with the Pay What You Want model that seems to be working really we...
Wil, I pinged you on Twitter. Hunter was really good. Before I knew I was at the end and left hanging...
Dude, you need to cast off the shackles of fear and unworthiness and allow your self the freedom to JUST WRITE.
You CAN do this, Wil. The K-Mart 'blue light special' was early evidence and now Hunter is just further proof.
Congratulations, man. Job well done. Seriously.

Dude. SO SORRY to hear about Ferris.
Damn, that sucks. All I can say right now is it will hurt just a little less, day-by day.
Hang in there, Wil. Give yourself some time to heal and honor the memory of someone who was indeed, a member of your family.
And don't feel bad about getting another dog. Just do like we did and assume that Ferris's spirit lives on in whichever dog you accept in to your family. At the very least, know that Ferris would understand and would want you to be happy.
She's in a good place, Wil. Be absolutely sure of that.

through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
My dog Ferris, who was rescued from a bus stop in Monrovia by my wife Anne almost exactly 8 years ago, had a heart attack and died this morning. It happened very quickly, and I was with her, which is supposed to make me feel better, but at this moment all I can feel is nearly-unbearable sorrow, ...
Hi, Wil.
I loved Sunken Treasure.
I ordered it the day it was available and whipped through it in a few hours. As a way of paying it forward, I blogged about your book on my blog at http://albertoslopez.typepad.com/digital_impulses/2009/02/wil-wheatons-sunken-treasure.html, using the small banner image you gave us.
Anyway, keep up the awesome writing. I look forward to whatever comes next from your creative karma.
Cheers,

just paint what you see
Five (Three sir!) Three quick Sunken Treasure items: 1. I was interviewed for the Lulu blog about the book. Fun fact: It was while I was writing the answers for this interview that I sent Twitter the fateful question about $5 DRM-free PDFs. I finished my answers and sent them back right before I...
Purchase: DONE. Can't wait!
Keep up the AWESOME work, Wil. You hit a homerun on TWiT this past Sunday.

sunken treasure goes on sale
As promised, Sunken Treasure is now officially on sale! I have created two editions, a US Edition and a World Edition. They are identical in content, but the World Edition is in a slightly larger format, so it's $2.00 more. The trade off is that you don't have to spend a million dollars on shi...
