SPOS #735 – Chuck Wendig On Bestselling Books, Creativity And Brilliant Storytelling

Welcome to episode #735 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #735 – Host: Mitch Joel. I believe C.C. Chapman first turned me on to the incredibly powerful, direct, and funny writing of Chuck Wendig. And while Chuck is an established New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath, as well as the Miriam Black thrillers, the Atlanta Burns books, Zer0es/Invasive, and his latest fiction breakthrough, Wanderers, I love his writing about creativity and writing more. If you have yet to check out The Kick-Ass Writer and Damn Fine Story, you really should. Chuck, like me, is also a comic book culture geek. He’s worked in comics, games, film, and television. His blog has been running for a touch longer than mine (so… forever) and it’s a never-ending source of great content. It’s called Terribleminds, and he rambles and wrestles with topics as varied as writing, parenthood, food, pop culture, and beyond. His writing is always NSFW, and there’s this honest and truthful edge that is always there, ready to punch you in the face (or make you crack up from laughter). If you want to tell better stories, write better, or embrace your creativity more, this show is for you. Enjoy the conversation…
