Reason 75391 to flesh out your outline— realizing your novel is about to be 300,000 words if you don’t change things up a little...

Something that I feel needs to be addressed is the practice of reading and enjoying someone’s work without “stanning” the author themself.

Society has come a long way in the past several centuries. As a result, most classic authors, said, did, and believed things that we now know are horrible and untrue. Our current culture often makes us feel that if someone did something “problematic” at some point, they need to be “cancelled” and that if you enjoy their work at all you’re a terrible person. This is not true! It is important to be critical of what you read, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it for what it is while admitting its flaws.

Take, for example, Charles Dickens. I’ve grown up reading his books, and they are very dear to me. However, he makes several horrible antisemitic and ableist (I believe that’s the word?) choices in his work. I understand that his books are deeply flawed for these reasons, and I read them with a critical eye, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy reading them.

You have to understand that times have changed since classic books were written and that we’ve grown quite a lot as a society since then, and that we can’t apply 21st century values to 19th century (or 20th, or 18th, or any other century) works. What we can do is read them through the lens of time, accepting that values have changed and the works and authors are not perfect beings.

It’s okay to like a book, poem, or play while still recognizing that it has parts you don’t agree with, or that you don’t like its author. Humans are, as a species, deeply flawed, and we have to take that into account when assessing someone’s work. We just also have to remember that it’s okay to be critical of things we still otherwise enjoy without cutting them out of our lives!

Wounds don't heal overnight, but the conversations that get started pave the way forward to change.

Have you ever...

Have you ever done that thing where you think you did something, but didn’t? Because that’s where I fall when it comes to finding out that I never actually posted that I was going to take a few weeks off for Christmas. Oops...

I’m back now and going to be working on my projects and my blog here more than I have before. I wasn’t doing nothing while I was gone, I’ve been working on my original fic and hope that this will be the year I finally get it down on paper and can start beta reads and maybe a professional edit.

I hope your new year and decade is starting out strong!

Things have settled down as midterms approach. They tend not to stay that way for long, and a competition and old wounds rise in the distance, waiting to make themselves known.

AU where Dib swears off paranormal investigation and science and moves to the middle of nowhere to sell Christmas trees in the winter.

He somehow manages to get sucked into several hallmark movie plots at once.

And thus discovers the horrorverse where all Hallmark movies are born, a convergence of points that create several small towns and kingdoms across the world where Christmas has created an inescapable vortex that requires at each point a yearly sacrifice of a strong independent woman who has lost track of love and the magic of the vortex’s frozen wonders. The sacrifice is conducted by a true bastion of the season, a man with the true heart of Christmas who pulls her back into the fold.

I recently bought a new tablet and I'm trying to see what the colors look like for others because my laptop shows them much duller.For example, in row three the middle dot looks bright green but on the laptop it's a yellow/green.

The conversation continues, and emotions run high. But answers start to come out into the open, and perhaps a large piece of the puzzle has been revealed. 

I should be able to wrangle the last part of this into one final chapter. Character development with four overly dramatic teenage boys can take a while. ;)
