Obligatory THE LIFE OF THE WENDIGO post incoming. Alert your state government. Hide your sisters. It’s time to talk e-books, t-shirts, recipes, cornpunks, baby laughs, and more. And while we’re at it, I ask that you share some recipes and tell me what *you’re* up to, too.
From today (Monday) to one week from today (next Monday, Aug 22nd), if you buy a copy of CONFESSIONS OF A FREELANCE PENMONKEY, I will comp you a PDF copy of 250 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WRITING. Easy-peasy boop-und-squeezy. Also: click the post for an update as to what the hell I’m up to.
Angry Robot Books is going to publish my novel, BLACKBIRDS. I’ll let that sink in. They’re also going to publish its followup, tentatively titled, MOCKINGBIRD. I’ll let that sink in, too. That sound? The one you hear? Not just in your ear, but in the deep squishy pockets of your mind? Yeah. That’s me. Screaming with mirth.
“Wendig will be your gonzo-esque guide, from the technical advice about structure, query letters and submissions, to dealing with agents and editors and how to make your characters do as they’re damn well told. Like a cursing, booze-soaked Virgil to your Dante, let him show you around. Buy this book, your editor will thank you.”
Let me ask up front: do you like these updates? Do you read them? Feel free to answer honestly (though, also, tactfully — please no, “Dear Shitbeard, I don’t give two rats fucking in a jizz-lacquered gym-sock whether or not you update us as to what’s going on in your life. Love, The Internet”).
