So, as I announced yesterday: CONFESSIONS OF A FREELANCE PENMONKEY<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is coming soon to a Kindle, Nook, PC or hallucinogenic dreamworld near you.<\/p>\n

Thing is, in the spirit of the “confessional” vibe, I figured it might be cool to have you crazy kids ask some questions, and then I’ll answer the questions inside the book. A lurid, disturbed glimpse into the caffeine-sodden, booze-pickled mind of a freelance writer.<\/p>\n

An interview! Of sorts. But with shame, pantslessness, and great gobs of profanity.<\/p>\n

This is where you’re like, “Chuck, that’s a stupid idea,” and then I’m like, “If you don’t play along, I’m going to shoot this adorable baby penguin with a Taser.” And you’re like, “Whoa, that’s not cool,” and I’m like, “WHATEVS.” Then I drop your casserole dish. And it shatters. And the penguin bleats.<\/p>\n

Do penguins bleat? I don’t goddamn know. Shut up.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re interested in playing along (and you’d have my appreciation should you choose to do so), drop into the comments section and pop a question you’d like me to answer in the book. Obviously, it’s a writing-themed book, so one assumes you’ll ask a questions that at least flirt<\/em> with the subject of writing, freelancing, storytelling, but hey, if you want to ask something entirely different, I’m not going to stop you.<\/p>\n

I’ll select 20 questions out of the bunch to use in the book. Er, that’s assuming you ask me 20 questions. If you don’t, I’ll just make up questions, I guess. As I weep into my cereal. “Question number…”<\/p>\n

*sob<\/em>*<\/p>\n

“Number Seven. Why Doesn’t Anybody Like Me?”<\/p>\n

*blow nose, eat Honey Nut Cheerios<\/em>*<\/p>\n

Right. Anyway.<\/p>\n

Who’s in?<\/p>\n

Questions go below. And thanks again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
