Where To Start With The Books Of Chuck Wendig, 2025 Edition Everything is perfectly normal and fine, and in that world of normal fine normalcy, one might want to read books. And once in a while, I get someone asking me, “Hey, what book of yours should…

The CURRENT ERA is a whole lot, and maybe you like books as a place to escape -- if'n you were looking to escape into my books (and oof, I've written a lot of 'em), here's maybe where I'd start:

We say “AC” when we mean either the cooler or the heater.

Such a fantastic - and much needed - episode! Well worth a listen even if you aren’t a screenwriter.

My feed on here is half updates on the Epic Universe construction and half updates on the end of the US societal structure as we know it so… you know, Happy Valentine’s Day.

You should do it. ;)

Well I’m officially “hey can you help me get the other strap of this backpack on” years old so that feels pretty bad

Just finished a revise and resubmit for my new novel. While revising, I got a request for full from another agent. I’m in a good phase of the Jennie-writing life. Much better than the phase whenever I was unable to do anything worthy because I was dealing with my mom’s death so yay…?

A female cardinal in the delicately-falling snow -- the bird is all soft browns and cream whites and punches of orange in the beak, the tail, the very tip of her crest. She's tucked away in the tangle of branches of a winter-clad dogwood tree. She is fully borbified, round as a meatball, soft as a wad of lint. She gazes upward, as if hopeful, optimistic. Or, at least, as if she's willfully looking above the miasma of stupid fuckery all around. Thinking of better things, better times, better birds than the male cardinals who are just out of frame, chasing each other like they're playing a bird version game of grab-ass.
