We used to listen to Sabbath all the time while we played 2nd ed. D&D in High School. NIB and The Wizard were two of our favorites, although I did need to insert the lyrics "Fighter Mage" over Wizard every time because it made my character way more badass! 😈I will now be listening to Sabbath all day! Thank you Sir!

I’m sitting in my hotel in Atlanta, waiting for my breakfast to arrive. My clock says it’s 1045, but my body thinks it’s 745, so I’m a little squishy in the brains. I also had epic and endless nightmares last night, the kind where I wake myself up and don’t know where I am, and then calm myself down by reminding myself that it was...

Thank you for this. I really thought it was just me.

Blizzcon. I was terrified. I thought I was prepared, but I just couldn’t shake the voices in my head that insisted the people who were going to hate me no matter what were right about how much I suck at everything. The stage was bigger than I expected (even though I expected it to be big), and the audience was enormous. At over 12,000 people,...

 I saw your posts on fb leading up to it and was hoping you'd be able to have a good time despite the anxiety, and I'm glad it sounds like you did enjoy it more than not :). Looking forward to Powers!
jstymie:
I was watching from home on a virtual ticket -- you did great.  I have pretty high levels of social anxiety and self doubt myself, so I am really impressed with how well you did in front of a crowd like that.  Largest crowd I've had to deal with so far in my career was maybe 30, and I thought I was going to die.

Brian M. Bendis is one of my favorite comic writers, and Remi Aubuchon is one of my favorite TV writers, so when they offered me a role on Powers, I said yes.

All the specific details are locked down with an NDA, but I start work soon, and I’ll hopefully be able to share some things from the set once I settle in, like...

A very nice editor at Huffington Post contacted me yesterday, and asked me if I would be willing to grant permission for the site to republish my post about the seven things I did to reboot my life.

Huffington Post has a lot of views, and reaches a pretty big audience, and that post is something I’d love to share with more people, so...

Good for you Wil. It's shocking that HuffPo doesn't pay contributors.  The Wall Street Journal says it earned $146 million in 2014, but isn't operating at a profit because they're investing in growth. It'd be interesting to know where the money is ending up…

About twenty years ago, I had a portable spa in the back yard of my first house. One day, the heater stopped working, so I called a repairman to come out and look at it. He told me that there would be an $85 charge no matter what, and I told him that was okay. When he got to my house, he opened up the...

Thanx for writing this.  I have been struggling the last two weeks with my own life changes - close to the same as yours with the addition of making time to draw.  But i love the image of the reset button.  Gonna push that.  Cheers.
bromopar:
I feel like I'm looking into a mirror when I read this.  Except substitute beer for Moutain Dew and writing for webcomics and reading comics under reading and watch more anime instead of movies... okay well maybe not the same but it FEELS the same.  I certainly have had that feeling of playing Metal Gear Solid V for days on end and suddenly having the thought "Hey, weren't you supposed to post a webcomic page like three weeks ago?" and immediately following it up with "Yeah but I'm tired, I can always do it tomorrow." (cue Shia LeBouf)  I'm 39 years old, I should have learned to stop making excuses (or so I always tell myself) but you just showed me that it's a lot tougher than we want to believe.  I think you also just showed me that it can be done.  I also want to be a better person.  I also want to like myself again.  Here's to hitting reset buttons!

Anne and I went to Las Vegas on Sunday for our friends Matt and Doree's wedding. We got dressed up like fancy adults, spent an evening with people we love, and got the hell out of there before Vegas could take any of our money away from us.

I had a stupidly good time playing a silly Star Trek penny slot machine for a quarter...

I've never been to Vegas. The rational side of me has no desire to go, but the Bacchanalian side of me wants to go there and start Big Pimpin'.
mdt:
Glad to hear you had a good time in Vegas this time. I've only been to vegas once but i had the best time. I lost most of my money the first day, shot an SG set on day 2, and drank the rest of the time for about $20. (Gotta love comped drinks while playing penny slots)

ALSO- Milk & Cookies by Melanie Martinez. Have a feeling it will strike a chord. 
nebula:
@reaper @wilwheaton, if you like Melanie Martinez you should also look into Halsey, and Marina and the Diamonds. Good stuff :)
