jazzfish: an open bottle of ether, and George conked out (Ether George)
Still recovering from a lingering malingering cough, still catching up on email (I'm up to June!), still enjoying Vancouver, still waiting for my favorite character to come back in Avatar. (I think the next episode is all about him, so yay.) Blergh.



Date a girl who reads, by Rosemarie Urquico:
Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.
(A brief conversation with the author.)

How To Steal Like an Artist (And 9 Other Things Nobody Told Me): "(6) The Secret: Do good work, then put it where people can see it."

Along those lines, Kelley Eskridge (author of one novel, Solitaire, and a handful of short stories) is writing vignettes / flash-fiction / snippets, one a day for forty-one days. They're not bad. (By which I mean "I want to be able to write like that.") (DW feed at [syndicated profile] kelly_eskridge_feed.)
