The Pitfalls Of Fiction In light of this Meta Post (and this MeCha thread) I was thinking about The Bechdel Test and Deggan's Rule and wondering, how do you address these when you're writing a story in a period and place where women are under wraps and minorities are largely nonexistant?

Heimo's Arctic Refuge "In 1980, Jimmy Carter established the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Alaskan Interior. Only six families of white settlers were grandfathered in and allowed to keep cabins in the refuge—of them, only one still stays there year-round living off the land. His name is Heimo Korth." (via)

What should I do with my many short comic and children's book scripts? I might illustrate a couple myself, but I'm not versatile enough to do all of them (anytime in the next 20 years) and would like to find an artist(s). I'd also like to find a publisher, natcherly. Somebody who's a fairly big name in the comics industry is having a look at a couple via FaceBook, and I sent one to a legendary comics artist who friended me on FB and sent me a cool e-mail as well. Beyond that, where do I go? I've been writing for years, I'm a damn perfectionist and my own worst critic, and I can finally honestly say I'm consistently producing darn good stuff. I'll post a link to an example for feedback, if anyone's interested.

Sketchy Santas is doing an actual paper book and possibly wants to put my photo in it. Should I let them make some money off me? I didn't really think mine was all that sketchy. I'd rather have a drawing in a Bad Spock book, if they'd do one. Read more...

Stupid technology question. I am buying some old radio shows in mp3 format. I have the option of mp3 CDs or mp3 DVDs, which are much cheaper. But will those play on my CD player? My CD player plays mp3 files but all these formats have me kind of confused, and google isn't helping.

Project brain In my quest for a new jewelry box, I’ve found myself wandering down a do-it-myself bypath and have gotten into the state of “project brain”, which is characterized by the strong desire to make something in particular, a preoccupation with ways and means, and much research-related activity. Also it is symptomized by a rash of internet links. Read more...

It seems hard to justify spending even $10/year on something like that, especially when I have more reputable-seeming .edu web space, and am likely to continue to do so while I have a career in academia. Has having your own domain name enhanced your life or career in some way?

Did you see the same movie that the director made? [spoilers] Amazingly detailed film deconstructions. Rob Ager shows how Mulholland Drive has a coherent, linear narrative that Lynch purposefully rearranged and how Kubrick gave visual and sonic clues in The Shining that all paranormal activities were actually dreams or delusions. Example: Jack Nicholson, waiting for the job interview, reads a copy of Playgirl with an article on parental incest. He freely admits some of his theories are hard to swallow, so he doesn't come off as a complete nutter.
You suck, and so does your writing "Writers have apparently always loathed and envied other members of the tribe: more famous, better paid, more fawning reviews, undeserved canonization."

Stupidest copyright ruling ever. Apparently a part of the flute riff in Down Under has been ruled to be a rip off of "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree". I have re-listened, and can certainly identify the TEN NOTES ON ONE INSTRUMENT in the whole song that may have been lifted, and it pisses me off.

Blue eyes crying in the kitchen... Trilby keeps getting a crusty dark red residue near the inside corners of his eyes. He cleans it off when he washes his face, but it immediately builds up again. And I've seen him with tears coming from his eyes a time or two. Is this something I should worry about? He's had this ever since I got him at Halloween, and at first I assumed that if it had been a problem the Humane Society would have caught it and informed me, but now I'm a little concerned.
