Myths can't be translated as they did in their ancient soil. We can only find our own meaning in our own time.
From Margaret Atwood
The story as told in The Odyssey doesn't hold water. There are too many inconsistencies.
All fat women look the same; they all look 42.
Genres aren't closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.
Writers and books are cheap dates, especially when you compare the cost of a book with a ticket to the opera - or an NHL game.
'1984' is not a wonder tale. Not only could it happen, but it has happened, but under different names.
Social media is called social media for a reason. It lends itself to sharing rather than horn-tooting.
You're never going to kill storytelling, because it's built into the human plan. We come with it.
If you're waiting for the perfect moment, you'll never write a thing because it will never arrive. I have no routine. I have no foolproof anything. There's nothing foolproof.
I've never bought into any sort of hard and fast, this-box/that-box characterization. People are individuals. Yes, they may be expected to be a particular way. But that doesn't mean they're going to be that way.
