352: You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton! - Interview with Chuck Wendig
b'
Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing someone I have the honor of considering both a colleague and friend, Chuck Wendig.
Chuck is the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers, Star Wars: Aftermath, the Miriam Black thrillers, and the Atlanta Burns books, as well as Zer0es and Invasive, alongside other works across comics, games, film, and more.
He was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and an alum of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and he served as the co-writer of the Emmy-nominated digital narrative Collapsus. He is also known for his popular blog, terribleminds, and he\\u2019s one of the few people I follow on Twitter and actually read what they post. He has also written books about writing such as Damn Fine Story, and today we\\u2019ll be talking about his latest book, a collection of inspirational nuggets titled: You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton!

In this episode Chuck and I discuss:
- The inspiration behind his latest book, which began as a series of tweets.
- How good writing subverts readers\\u2019 expectations in some way.
- Why you shouldn\\u2019t take any one piece of writing advice too seriously.
