HELLO GOOD FRIENDS, IT IS I, CHNURK MANDOG WITH A NEWS UPDATE FROM THE WORLD OF CHNURK MANDOG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So some quick updates, right here–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up, this is the last week for the Dust & Grim<\/strong> October monthly pick promo at Barnes & Noble. Go online<\/a> or head to a store and nab a paperback copy for just $6.99, where there’s also a buy-one-get-another-at-50% off deal going. Thanks to all who have picked up the book. I hope you enjoy it! Or, at the very least, that you enjoy FLORG. Everyone seems to like FLORG. FLORG 4 EVA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, if you saw my tour dates (right here<\/a>), you’ll note I’m going to Malaprops in Asheville, NC. And you can now use their pre-order page to pre-order<\/a> signed and personalized copies through them, and they’ll ship right to you (or you can, y’know, go to the event). Note too that this includes backlist titles of mine, as well. I have never been to the store and am super excited to have an event there. It’s also been way waaaaaay too long since I’ve been to Asheville, honestly. I hear there are good cocktails there? Mmmm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, hey, my new writing book has a COVER — ! Huzzah and hooray and yippie-ki-yay. GENTLE WRITING ADVICE comes out June 2023. The cover copy for the book, first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally\u2013a book of writing advice that accounts for all of the messy, perverse, practical, and inexplicable parts of being a human who writes<\/strong>

The truth is that all of the \u201cwriting rules\u201d you\u2019ve learned are bullshit. Sure, they work for some people, but the likelihood that they\u2019ll work for you\u2013unique butterfly of a person that you are\u2013is slim.\u00a0
\u00a0
That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re out of luck! There is meaningful advice to be had in the writing world, and Chuck Wendig is here to deliver it. In this hilarious guide, Wendig will help you discover more about yourself as a writer, parse through your quirks and foibles, and help you figure out the best way for you to get words on the page\u2013without destroying yourself along the way.
\u00a0
With behind-the-scenes stories of Wendig\u2019s own writing struggles, sections on debunking popular advice, self-care tips, and more footnotes than are strictly necessary (or legally recommended by scientists),\u00a0Gentle Writing Advice\u00a0will give the unvarnished truth about the writing process and remind you of what\u2019s actually important\u2013taking care of the writer. (That\u2019s you, by the way.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, the cover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It features a soul-bird bursting free from your head-cage! Which is a metaphor for writing! Probably! I don’t know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uhhh, what else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayward<\/strong> made the list of Most Anticipated Horror for the rest of 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book of Accidents<\/strong> lands on a list of the 53 Best Horror Books of All Time<\/a>, at Men’s Health, alongside some legends and heavy-hitters, and I’m honored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that’s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More as I have it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
