Beth Bishop
Beth Bishop asked Chuck Wendig:

Hi, Chuck! When I have a work set in this world, I struggle w/ how much pop culture (music, social/political topics, clothing, hair styles, phones) to include. I try to keep my primary audience in mind, but I don't want readers outside that audience to feel like old geezers or like I'm an old geezer. When I don't include anything of that sort, the world doesn't feel as fleshed out as it should. Any advice?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Chuck Wendig:

Have you ever had trouble figuring out the plot of a sequel that is as interesting as the first book? Any advice on getting past this?

Clementine Danger
Clementine Danger asked Chuck Wendig:

I am a woman with a womanly name. I'm finishing up a science-fiction adventure novel that I'd like to get published. Given the current climate, should I use a male pseudonym? Will it increase my chances?
