I always wondered if the guys that ran the official websites for famous people have a red phone in their house that immediately connects to the subject. Well I found out, they dont. But Dennis Widmyer, who is one of the people behind ChuckPalahniuk.net, does have the next best thing. His personal phone number and email address. Now for many years Dennis has used that power for good. Would Chuck be a best selling author without the website existing? Probably, but he wouldnt have as close connection...
Hah, it's funny how sites I visit often interconnect! Dennis runs a fantastic site for Chuck, anyone who's interested in the author should definately check it out. Things like the Writers Workshop on the site are amazing, a best selling author directly talking with fans and giving them writing "homework" and answering questions .. it's like a college class on writing, but with one hell of a cool professor.
Good job, Dennis!

Now that was an awesome interview.
Sg.com and Cp.net are probably the two sites that I've dabbled with the most over the course of the past year. I've known about Dennis, and who he was... but I really didn't look all that far into it. I love getting the behind-the-scenes story about some of the things that grab my interest. The workshops are awesome, as are the forums... sort of gives you a place to open up, and boy have I ever. A newfound respect has been developed for you, Dennis.. and I hope you keep up the good work.
