Is this?

The 15th Anniversary Celebration of TNG was just wonderful today.

I had my talk this afternoon, and though I started out slowly, I warmed up, and eventually left feeling very satisfied. I asked many people in the house how they thought I'd done, and they were all very complimentary.

Then I watched Patrick, who I have never seen onstage...holy shit. If you get a chance to see Patrick, RUN THERE.

I hung out for the bulk of the day, signing stuff for people and visiting with some really cool WWDN readers, one of whom gave me the gift of "The Wesley Dialogues" printed and bound into a little book...it was so freaking cool, I can't even tell you.

Speaking of books, the week has been very light on entries because I'm nearly finished with mine.

Remember how so many readers have been telling me to write a book? Well, I listened. Watch this space for details on how you can get it in about a week or so, maybe two. Know what's in it? The end of SpongBob Vega$ Pants, baby!

Tonight, I took the manuscript with me, and I read selections from it for a large crowd, who really seemed to be "with me" for most of it. Having an audience "with me" rather than pissing them off of boring them is always a good thing, and I left tonight feeling really happy. My mom was in the house and she came up to me after the show, crying, telling me how good I was, and what a great writer I have become. Yeah, she's my mom so she isn't the most objective person in the world, but making my mom proud is also always a good thing.

I read some entries from the old WWDN, like The Trade, Hooters, Fireworks, and The Wesley Dialogues, along with a new story called "Hooters Revisited," which will end the book.

I am really excited, guys. For the first time in ages I look forward to each day, and I feel like I'm doing something which really makes me happy.


There was one thing which bothered me, though...this guy was talking to me about how much he admired my guts for putting my life out there, and while I was talking with him, my friend Keith came over, and I got distracted, and when I turned back around, this cool guy was walking away. I bet he felt like I totally blew him off, which is making me feel really bad. If you're reading this, I'm sorry, man.

I'll be back at the con for a few hours in the morning tomorrow...I'm hoping that hot porn star shows up again.

...Just kidding.

(well, maybe not)

You are a pretty good writer, Wil. But here's a little advice: LEAD WITH THE PORN STAR.
Besides, you know what goes on in The Champagne Room...

sims

WHEATON!! WHEATON!! WHEATON!! WHEATON!! WHEATON!!

You rock Wil, I'm so glad you are here!
Aloha!

Hey, Wesley.. (I know how you get really mad at that, seeing as how you got mad at the person who called you that at the convention. :)) I got your autograph today. I was the one that went up to you with a 11x10 photo of all of the TNG cast. You signed it above your head in the photo. I said "Thanks" and that was it. I couldn't think of anything else to say. :>

Dude that's sooooo Coool that you are writing a book- I can't wait and I will be first in line to get it signed if you ever come my way!!!! -DFW- "Book Tour" hint hint.....
Mucho congrats!!!!

We Love you MAN!!!!!
*gypsy does a dance--- trademark shaking hips bellie dance ~~~ jingle jingle~~*

Whoo hoooo!!! :D

The Book. Finally! Pretty exciting news, Wil. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading it. You will have some new stuff in there for us regulars, won't you? I see you have end of SpongBob Vega$ Pants. It's been so long, I can't remember the beginning of the story (there was a beginning wasn't there?).

You've never seen Patrick on stage before? Are you talking about a convention or not even in a play? If you haven't seen Patrick in his one-man production of a Christmas Carol, you've missed a wonderful experience. There are some people who command a stage, and Patrick Stewart is one of those people.

And, there really wasn't a place to put this before, but since I'm congratulating you, congrats also in going over another Walk-a-thon goal. And congrats to your supporters, too!

Woohoo, so, what, six months till publication? I'll be there to buy it, and perhaps get it signed if you are doing a book signing (you WILL be doing that, right?).

I need to get to a con when you are doing a thing, almost as much as I need to get to a Patrick Stewart one man show.

OMIGOD! I'm only the 8th person to comment! Usually I'm way down at 156!!! This really makes my birthday! Its actually on Monday but I celebrated today, and finding out that Wil is writing a book is a great present! I can't wait to get my hands on it! Wil Wheaton (sir!) YOU ROCK!

Life is good.

wil wheaton?!? what the hell.... I was looking for william shatners page... hmmm.

Hey Wil, "U R my friend." I know that blonde chick you're talking about. She got really depressed that you blew her off, and now she's a skankhoe in the finest LA sense. Way to go, Wes.

Cheerios,
Dan

Hey, Wil, cool cover. Looks, well, kinda familiar, doesn't it? But Wil, you gotta be taller than 5'4". Or was it your personality that made you seem taller to me?

Do you know that the Creation site mentions this site twice in its schedule for the 15th anniversary convention? Damn, now we have to share you with even more people. I'll never be this close to the top of the comments again.

Didn't you say you were going back to that convention for a few hours on Sunday? Get to bed, man! Have fun tomorrow, er, later today at the convention.

Well, if you don't like the porn star, throw her over my way!

Wil, you were frickin awesome tonight. Im not sure if you noticed but you got a standing ovation from about half the croud (neither Gates McFaddin or the comedian got that). Also, your words were very moving - I found myself leaning in, listening intently and kept thinking how you have come so in realizing exactly who you are. Anyways, I had a great time today - Patrick (despite your kind words) was thoroughly boring.. Honestly, dude, you stole the show. Had you not been there I would have been pissed about spending $52 - but I am not thoroughly glad I did.

Ack - disregard the not in the last sentence there :) thats what i get for being tired.

such a nice red shirt and for 3 bucks and what was in that carry on you had with you?

Wooooooohoooooooo!!!

So much good news all at once. :)

Just wanted to say you were awesome in both the afternoon talk and the night show today... well, I guess yesterday now. Now it's time to not set my alarm clock and go to sleep. :)

Looking forward to the book, Wil. Have you secured a publisher or will you self-publish?

Alright! Can't wait to read it, Wil. :)

Dang! Never have I wished to live near the West Coast before now. Sorry to be such a parrot, but-can't wait for the book! Glad to hear you had a good convention experience. You are lucky to have an understanding mate, dude, or is she forbidden to read WWDN? Porn Star, Ha! :)D

Congrats on the success of your con appearance and most enphatically congrats on the book! Can't wait to get a copy!

sneaky. with the end of Vega$ in ze' book.

Well won't it be an extra treat when people start bringing a copy of your book to be signed at conventions instead of pictures of you 15 yrs ago? :)

It may seem trite coming from someone you don't really know at all, but it's good to see you energised and happy. Even better times are in store for you.
Hey, it's a bit early, but if you watch the Discovery Channel on December 7th and 8th, I'm playing several roles in "James Cameron's Blood and Iron" about the sinking of the Bismarck. Between that and a Japanese Television version of "Believe It Or Not" where I played a real-life guy who survived having a piece of rebar lodged through his head, I've been busier this year than I have in a long while. The stunt driving was the coolest part of that production.

That all seemed rather random, huh?

Don't forget you are of course a mini-pr0nstar yourself, Wil. lol

Or perhaps you haven't visited those corners of the internet...

Um..NO the porn star is not the way to go...Do the words USED and WORN OUT mean anything? Just wanted to pop in and say hello...I am glad the show went well...One question though...How come you took out the picture gallery? I was really digging that...Show us some pics of some of the events you attend..Anyways for the sake of your wifey...JUST SAY NO TO PORNSTARS WHO LOVE TREKKIES..its bad for your teeth.

*Yay* for Wil! Good job. I'm so happy that you're feeling so much better about your life now. :)

I'm sure you were fantastic yesterday!

COngrats, Wil! It sounds like this weekend was just totally awesome. I sooooo wish I could have been there, but all my money goes toward school, bills, and the occasional candy binge. ;-)

But anyway, back to the con and the book and stuff. I'm so happy that you're happy (I know that sounds cheesy, but I couldn't think of any other way to word it)! And don't worry about that dude that you accidentally dissed...I'm sure he's probably read your blog and is like, "Dude, I was mentioned in an entry! Rock on! All's forgiven, Wil!" :-)

Hi. I'm a new reader of WWDN, I've been spending the past few days poking around and whatnot. I must say, Wil Wheaton (if you're reading this commentude) you are surprisingly clever and cool. (But, ya know, cool in the way geeks think other geeks are cool.)

I enjoy your blog.
(Parenthesis)

Shouldn't that be "whom I have never seen. . . ?

Heyyy Wil.....congrats and good luck!

YAY!

Congrats Wil!

*sits patiently waiting for the book to be available.*

Great, Wil! Book tour! Book tour! Book tour!

Wil,

I caught you just before your 5 minute lunch break (I'm the artist guy) so we didn't have time for more than "Hi, nice to finally meet you", but yeah, it was nice to finally meet you.

I came back last night to catch your performance, and even though I had read most of those stories before on WWDN, they all sounded new as your presentation gave them new life. I realized you were doing something that's got to be scary for an actor -- you were taking off the mask. No fictional character or scripted dialogue to hide behind, this wasn't about some 24th century space cadet (no pun intended) named Wesley, it was about a 21st century guy from L.A. named Wil who was trying to live his life, and come to terms with his past, the best way he knew how.

I don't want to ramble on here, especially since I've done so elsewhere ("How I got here, and why I'm staying" in the WWDN forum) but I do want to say bravo, Wil. I believe you have the talent to succeed with your writing as well as your acting, if that's what you decide you want. Count on your posse to be there for you.

Mark (elmarco)

Great news about the book! I hope we'll read it soon then! :)

-Helene

Hey, who was the person who gave Wil that book? What a cool gift!

Wil, congrats on giving a great presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing your book. :)

Yay! A book I will br proud to add to my bursting shelves.

And I have to agree about Patrick Stewart. I saw him in The Ride Down Mount Morgan a few years ago and he stage presence was awe inspiring. When it was over, a friend I was with and I were applauding and I kept looking at her, worried that she had hated it cause she was awfully quiet and glaze-eyed. I had picked the play, so I would have felt bad. I asked her and she said she was just so floored by the performance that she was a little dazed.

Seriously, amazing.

I am awaiting the inevitable lawsuit which claims you stole the idea for the past year of your life, and hence the book, from an obscure 1909 English operetta entitled "Harem Girls In Bondage".

Dear Wil,
I'm writing to you from my hotel room in Pasadena,Sunday morning,awaiting checkout time and a short plane ride back to SF. I woke up thinking of you. I'm remembering a short,but exuberent,conversation at your autograph table,listening to tales of your childhood and family life,stories of adolescence as an Enterprise crew member and your coming of age struggle into adulthood as a husband and parent.
I wanted to thank you for sharing your pain and joy with all of us yesterday. Your incredible talent and willingness to be vulnerable touched me deeply. A stroke of true genius is the ability to be intimate with hundreds of people through the compassion and honesty of your words. I wish you the best, Rachelle

Awesome performances by you last night that inspired me to check your site before returning to the Convention today. You're right about Patrick Stewart, everything he said made me think about everything differently. Mirror, Mirror was wonderful to me as a packrat and also to hear you find your identity. Shatner's comment seems true to you...you did get a life. Keep writing, what you know from living it makes the best stories. Also can I get my life back? I was the lady in the parking lot, red VW, who made a dumb comment about your cool car. I know nothing about cars, and I guess I was looking for the car you spoke about. Please forgive me...

I'd buy that book! And a tip for free (I have some experience in this area) -- if you self-publish, get a free-lance editor to copyedit for you. I promise you, it will be money well spent.

You sneaky bastard.

Writing a book and not telling us.

Cheeky monkey. CHEEKY!

Right when I have to start saving up for a class trip. You TEASE!

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!

So why are the DVD sets 100$ bucks a peice. I mean I like Star Trek and some TNG DVDs would be cool but $100 per pack.. that is insane!

Wil, stay focused: work first, play later.
Glad it went well and the book thing-very cool.
Luv Annie

Wil,

Glad to hear you had a great time at the convention. I saw you in the latest issue of the Star Trek Communicator. When I knew you were in there I forked out my 5 bucks to read your article, it was good mostly discussing your life now and your website some, and your scene getting cut from Nemesis. Even Johnathan Frakes talked about that and how much you had grown up, he said he remembered when you got your drivers license, and how fast the 15 yrs had went by, but it was great to have you on the set again even though your scene got cut. I take from what he talked about that your scene had something to do with the wedding scene, at least that is the way he made it sound. Anyway I hope you have fun today at the Con, enjoy Brent Spiner. I can't wait for your book. I hope I can get it at my local bookstore soon. I just bought William Shatners new book I'm Working On That. It is a very well done book so far. It is funny and witty as I am sure yours is to. Best of luck to you Wil, and best wishes to you and your family.

Until your next post......

Matt......

Damm Wil, now we get a Book too? Thats just TOO cool.

Can you repost that .png of the book's first page and move it over to the right a little so people can see a particularly moving, and pretty, orange and blue banner... ?

Bingo Rougy.

BINGO.

Wil,

I'm glad you're having such a good time. Wish I was there to see your performance and your recitation of some of the excerpts from your manuscript-soon-to-be-book.

You deserve your happiness. Enjoy. :)

Wil,

Good move on the book. Glad convention is going well. Hope to run into you sometime.

Later.

That's great that you're going to write a book. I'm sure it will be quite interesting, considering how entertaining your blog is.

Thank you Wil for the kind words. ...Uh...your not talking about me? Damn, thought you heard me talking.

I am looking forward to the book.

Sneaky Bastard, indeed!!

And is that Boingo Alive you were listening to? Man, do I miss RFB!!!

Aloha.

Never saw "TNG" or was into the whole "Star Trek" thing, but this blog is vaguely interesting. It's always funny to see celebrities acting self- important as though their insight or talent is somehow superior to professional writers.

How many books Wil would you have to sell to turn a profit, I wonder?
--
I constantly post these pathetic, trolling comments because I am a complete loser, and it helps me feel better about myself.

moe joe.
how many negative and rude posts will you have to leave on a guy's website in order to make yourself feel cool?

Wil,
don't worry about losers like that, they just don't get it.
anyhow, enough time wasted on that jack ass...
I can't wait to hear more news about the book.
You've got a sale here, thats for sure.
hell, ive even turned a bunch of guys at my office into fans...
I'm glad the show was such a success and that you made your mom proud.
that's a pretty awesome feeling isn't it?
anyways, congrats on everything....
you deserve it!!!!

Ah, the luxury of idiots... they make the rest of us feel smarter! ^_^;;

Wil, thanks for behaving like a human, and I'll buy the book if for nothing else that to just say that I own a piece of Wil.

ooooooh yeah baby.

Yes. I can't believe that you actually wrote the book. I'm so going to buy it, as long as it dosen't involve a credit card, cause I don't have one:( I love your stories. You are a gifted writer.

wil: congrats on the successful reunion!...i know the book will do well...from the pieces i've seen here it should be a great read...it was good to see the concern you showed about your fan in your post...nipping a misunderstanding in the bud is a great way to keep a friend...and avoid creating an enemy.

HEY MOE JOE!!! There is a sight I found just for you! Its called www.GOGETALIFEUMORON.com..I think it was designed just for you...LOL..Um...ok enuff with the negativity and back to the creativity! Sorry Wil I just had to say that.

So, will it be one book, sold to the highest bidder on ebay? :) Now that I'd like to see...although then I wouldn't get the book...bummer...

pretty orange and blue banner?

I can finally stop holding my breath waiting for a book! I was going a little blue in the face, and it's just not my colour.

Wil, Congratulations on the successful TNG reunion. Watching the WWDN community take shape over these many months and sharing in your new career directions has been very rewarding. I look forward to your book when it's available.

You've come a long way in a short time in your rolls as father, son, writer, actor & a kind of friend to many people. Forgive me if I'm presumptuous in saying I'm really proud of you. Best, Rob

Wil,
Glad you had a good time. Stay happy.

F.G.

Ok,
So how much for an autographed copy of the books?


Yeah really!

The startrek.com site now requires Flash 6 to view. This sucks for Linux users, who are stuck at version 5. There has been no news from Macromedia about a new version 6 for Linux. The site's official recommendation? To use a Windows computer! *sigh* I thought geeks were their target audience...

congrats Wilio!
todays my birthday my cousins threw me a party!
thanks Jess n Lorielle!

Wil, four words... Autographed copies on ebay! Let me know, my credit cards and bid clicking fingers will be smoking!

OK Wil (and everyone)... I am the guy that was talking to Wil after the show Saturday night. I felt a little awkward standing there while you were talking to your friend, but I really didn't feel like you were "dissing" me at all. I really wanted to tell you how much I've appreciated you as an actor since Stand By Me and Trek, of course... and since I couldn't make it to the con due to work, I was only able to make the evening show. But, man, was it worth it! It was really great to know that you are doing so well, and that you are a real person like the rest of us. I think that you made my month! I hope to talk more to you later since you seem to be a very caring, open, honest, and sensitive guy! There are not enough of us left in the world! ;-)
Take care! Terry

LOL- I see you "edited" my post just a lil', eh Wil? Don't worry, though. You don't have to ban me again (doesn't do any good, anyway;) I was just stopping by out of curiosty and I had to put in my 2 cents worth because of the nauseating level of drivel being dispensed by you and lapped up by your toadies. I sincerely hope your book does well for obvious reasons.

Hoo-ah!!! Obey the Wheaton! Great news about the book, Wil! Glad that things are going well for you.

I hope you don't take another five days to post another post in the blog, Wil! :)

I can't wait to read the book! I come back to your site each day in hopes that you've made a new entry; to read what's the next scene in the heartfelt story of the Life of Wil Wheaton. I'm sure this will be a book I'll have to read in a day because I can't put it down. Thanks Wil!

You definetly have to auction autographed copies on ebay.

I'll buy your book if you sign my guestbook(you bastard!! *Shakes fist*).

Actually, I'll probably buy it anyway.

BTW, I love "The Trade" It's probably my favorite piece of all your writings... That I've read anyway.

Congrats Wil! I'm excited for you. I know all my friends can't wait for your book and we're always watching to see what you do next. We have all your movies and we taped all your shows. We can vouch for what an amazig guy you are so go out there and kick some ass!

Hey you...damn, there's a lot of posts lately.
Congrats on everything. I think writing a book is the COOLEST thing ever!

I'll make sure to pick it up once it trickles down to my side of the market (Thrift Stores in about 3 years).

Continued success to ya!

Wil, you can cross off Write A Book from your wish list now.

LOL- I see you "edited" my post just a lil', eh Wil? Don't worry, though.

----------------------

Wil, man; don't pay attention to this loser for one frigin' second. I think most of us here have had that one loser in our lives (school especially) that just wouldn't leave us alone. Like them, this guy works at a job with his name on his shirt and needs to knock others to feel better about himself.

He checks this site every single day just hoping to find something to poke fun at. Screw 'em. Feel the love and ignore the jealousy. (And besides, if he was brave enough to leave his real email address, I'm sure he is being mail bombed as we speak.)

It takes people 4 years of Star Trek to not like Wesley and one visit to this site to love you.

You can't keep a good monkey down! (Wow....that's kind of a perverted saying isn't it?)

I still don't get the 5'4, 120# reference in the graphic. I just *know* that doesn't accurately describe you!

Explain please.

Wil,

sorry, I could not make it..

dad was in town, my uncle passed away friday...

he had been fightin cancer for 2 years...

maybe next time...

later

Hiya Wil,

Great to hear that you had really good time, just wish i could get to see you over here in the UK *sigh*
-oh well-

Save a copy of your book for me!

Kordith

Hi,
I posted before, but now I'm on a computer that actually works so I'm doing it again!

I just wanted to tell you that you made my day/week/month/etc... I talked to you on Friday at the convention and you were so kind, and seemed genuinely interested in talking to me. (we talked about WWDN, geocaching, digital cameras, and you suggested using Gallery on my website) Then the next day after your talk (which was hilarious by the way) and Gates' you were signing more pictures and you remembered me. I realize I'm sounding a little lame, but it was a major thrill for me. You made me feel wonderfully special. And even though everyone else has said it already, it was great to hear you read from your site Saturday night. I'd read most of them before, but it was great to hear it, and have a voice to match with the voice that reads them in my head.

OK, I'm done now.
Thanx again for making my weekend so wonderful.
Laura
a.k.a. Sunidesus

Your words give me chills...these are exciting times for you Wil. Congrats.

UNKA WIL!!!

I seriously hope that the "monkey's" that inspired
you and cheerlead-ed you through..."write a book
already"...will be mentioned in someway.

Where WOULD you be with out the monk's?

Where WOULD we be without the Wil-man?

Great news bookwise tho..and sounds like a
kickass con. also.

Hey there.

To start things off, this is my first time to this site. After this weekend how could I not check it out. I just wanted to say that the whole experience was awesome. When you read from your book Saturday night (I missed the earlier performance) it was really nice hearing it read with the emotions and feelings that went along with how you felt at that time. You did such a GREAT job! I did not get a chance to tell you what I thought about your performance so instead of e-mailing you I figured I would go here.

I know a lot of people say "I was the one who..." or "I asked you to sign this..." and I will try to not be as bad as some. I met formally with you midday Saturday and took a picture with you. I had the Social D shirt on with the red/black hair. Amanda will be sending you the pic soon. If you do/don't remember me that's cool. You were so sweet and outgoing I just wanted to say Thank you!

Hope everything you want to do in life works out for you and keep on writing!! Bye.

Hey Wil-

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to meet you. I was the one with the Joy Ride t-shirt with the mud flap girls. I thought it was so wonderful how excited you were to meet your fans from the site. You made me feel special. I wish we had more of a chance to talk, but I was all nervous and there were other folks waiting in line.

I really enjoyed your talk. Your stories were hilarious and the fact you kept losing your button was comedy.

Thanks for making my first convention a memorable one.

Much love,
Lorie

Wil,

Congrats on the book, I will look forward to getting a copy. Glad to hear things are looking up. Keep up the great work.

Neil

Wil, you ROCK!

*Throws WWDN horns*

I didn't get to see you on Sunday, but I wanted to tell you that we all enjoyed your reading on Saturday night. Following Rick Overton was not an easy task, but you did it, and did it well.

Can't wait to see the finished book!

A couple of months ago I saw a little article in the SF Chronicle about your pending Barney battle, and since then I've been hooked on your site. I must admit that I usually don't understand much of the computer talk, but your stories are fantastic. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with so many people. You are a brave person to bare your soul like that, especially because you are such a visible personality. Good luck with your future projects, and I wish the best to you and your family. And to everyone else, let's follow Wil's example and make our moms proud (they love us regardless, but I got the chance yesterday to surprise mine with an early birthday party, and it was such a neat experience).
P.S. I'm so glad you beat up the dino!

Holy Fucking Shit!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited!!!!

I can't freaking wait to get my copy of your book, Wil.

This has really made my farking day!!!!

YOUR MOM SHOULD BE PROUD.
I JUST GOT HOME FROM THE WEEKEND. IT WAS A GAS.
YOU STOLE THE SHOW. YOU STOLE THE WHOLE WEEKEND.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE YOU PUT ON....

THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE FOR YOU FROM HERE ON OUT. YOU'LL SEE. THE ENERGY IS THERE.

Great job this weekend Wil. It was so great to meet you and I thank you for making me feel kind of like one of the cool kids this weekend.

And now for my own 'I was the one...':

I was the one that wore the "Newt Hates Me" shirt (then the Wil's Run shirt the next day). I also took the picture with you and Brandi (which will hopefully be in your inbox in a day or two). We talked computer stuff and I was very surprised that I was able to have a semi-coherant conversation with you. The entire weekend was a blast and you were certainly the highlight of the weekend.

Small shout out to Jackie and Brandi! Too funny that we all had the same idea :)

Creation Con on Sunday: Adam asked "who was the funniest from Saturday night?" He announces each name. Wil's name gets a resounding, deafening hurrah. (Winning the applause meter.) Adam looks mystified at the crowd and says, "really?" I swear he had a lightbulb go on above his head as he tilted his chin a bit to the side.

Ohhhh! These stories really cool and make me smile! Once I really like to see Patrick Stewart onstage..aghem in the weekend I saw him In the Jeffrey! (..was this the title?)

I never get to see you in person, and I continually keep missing The Bruce (Campbell)anytime he comes remotely near my area.

I hate Ohio. All jokes told about this place are true.

[just joking]Can I offer some criticism of the book cover scan you posted? "A year in the life of Wil Wheaton as chronicled at WIL WHEATON DOT NET by Wil Wheaton" is good. But it only mentions your name 3 times. I think we can do better. How about we add "A WilWheaton DOT NET Productions book, edited by Ira Glass, with Prologue by Wil Wheaton." and what about the illustrations? Is an "Illustrated by Wil Wheaton" needed? [/just joking]

You just hafta get ben to draw you a new illustration for the cover, now.

So that'll be like, 6 months? ;)

Dude, Moe Joe didn't need any help flaming out. Don't be an Uncle Weener.

Nuthin but love and criticism for ya here ;),

Drake.

I just wanted to know.....is there a Goonies 2 comming out? because thats what ive heard someone had posted it a few monthes ago and i got really exited about it!

Sorry, this is a little late, but...

Hey, Moe Joe! FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wil
I'm happy to hear about your book.I work at a libray and your book will be on our shelves.(I thought you should have been a writer)Now if we can get you to write a Star Trek novel.(My wish) Which I think you can do a better job,than some of your fellow Star Trek mates have done.

Wil,
I will definately buy your book....I might even buy a few copies to give to my close friends. 50,000 Monkeys...or more will definately have your book!;)

Hey there! I'm glad to hear the convention went so well! (I wish I could have made it out there - but the whole doctoral student lack-of-funds syndrome sort of prevented it...that, and a promotional exam for kendo.)

Actually, after you encouraged anyone who came to come over and introduce themselves to you, I and a couple of the other IU-UE-ers joked about putting together a video and sending it you at the con...to introduce ourselves in abstentia. (;

Good luck with the book, and maybe someday I'll make it to one of your appearances.

Great to hear you're writing! I'll look forward to getting a copy of your book someday soon.

I missed Patrick Stewart on stage when he was in Minneapolis the other year (I live in the Twin Cities), but some friends of mine in the local Starfleet chapter saw him & said he was wonderful. If he ever comes again, I'll have to try & get tickets.

We have some pretty good theaters in town here. I hope you consider coming to MN for something other than the Creation Con & doing a play someday. Maybe you & Patrick could be together on stage? Now there's a thought. :)

Fantastic that things are shaping up so well for you. It's been a while since I last got to read around your site. I'm looking forward to your book, and doesn't look like you'll have any problems selling it, eh? :)

And just like that, the former child-actor became a well loved author.

It's like that time Mr. T was at the mall, and I kept saying "I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later" and when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the man if he was ever coming back, he told me he didn't know.

it must be nice to know that you can just get the book published with a snap of semi-celebrity status

Awesome. Write that book, then run for congress! America needs you!

=D Alright!
Enjoy the party Wil!

wil-
you're entries are getting boring!

Hey, Wil. Congrats on nearing the completion of your book! Do you already have a deal with a publisher, or are you printing it yourself? If you ever need an agent...

Wil, I myself am trying to do things to be happy. This is a difficult concept for me since I have spent a lifetime being a wundermartyer. However, I am figuring it out and am really happy you got it beat! You go boy. Becky

hey! you took our not-so-discreet hinting and wrote a book! sweet! and if i actual have money in the next weeks, i'll buy it, you crazy kid.

I am so happy that you are actually going to put a book out!!!

Rock on!

People, check out the Star Trek news section (http://www.startrek.com/news/news.asp?ID=125814) for mention of Wil @ the convention. There's even a picture!

The TNG 15th anniversary report at cited by anamarylee even mentions the manuscript. Hope Wil prints up enough copies of the book for all of us to get a first edition. Or maybe he's doing 'print on demand"?

Wil, you should check out Fark's contest where readers take turns Photoshopping a picture of you at the convention into something else. Here it is:

Peace.

omg, i laughed my ass off at the previous link, took like 5 mins for the page to load, but fuck it was funny! Check it out! Oh yeah, i wanna buy your book blah blah... ;P

Considering the title of your book, shouldn't you have been listening to The Pixies there?

I am an idiot.

I think it's too bad that you weren't in the latest Star Trek movie. I am hoping that you'll be in the next one! I am a fan and I think it's awesome that you attended the conventions and your fans apperciate you.

Great site. I think Gates Mcfadden's comments were very sweet about you.

Take care!
