Brian's guest this week is author, comic writer, screenwriter, and blogger Chuck Wendig. Chuck’s early career began as a freelance RPG writer for over a decade before he broke into the novel scene with Blackbirds, Blue Blazes, Shotgun Gravy, and the Heartland Trilogy. He was tapped to write the Aftermath Trilogy to kick off the new canon in Disney’s Star Wars, bridging the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Chuck is also known for his ranting blog, Terribleminds. Chuck and Brian chat extensively about the internet: the early days, the strange sort of celebrity it spawns, and the way it changes constantly under your feet. They also discuss writing long books and the secrecy behind writing Star Wars. Enjoy Brian's conversation with Chuck Wendig! Find Chuck on Twitter, Instagram, and his website!
