You can't put a chicken in a box when it's time to go to sleep. And it's illegal to have a chicken in most city apartments.

finishing up a re-read of Barbara Hambly's Darwath trilogy, starting with The Time of the Dark. I've only read them a dozen times. Next up—The Red Knight by Miles Cameron.

Whew! :-)

I don't believe I was implying that you were saying "this is the only way"—I actually thought I was agreeing with you ("no one size fits all creativity") and sharing my own experience, gained over forty years of my own work and talking with other creators. If anyone feels I disagreed with you, I apologize—that was…

When I get this question in interviews—and I usually do—I describe my own routine, but I also mention the routines of other writers I know, and I ALWAYS make the point that you have to find what works for you. There is no right or wrong way, there's only what works for you.

GEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMSSSS!!!!!! SLIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMME!

Don't do that. If you keep trying to reason like that, you'll end up biting your own tail, and that just hurts. Look at the faces of the Fox news folks and Limbaugh. Don't they look like they bit off their own tails and it still hurts?

Why can't we have Chiwetel Ejiofor as James Bond?

"I wonder what the Tertiary Operation is?"

Actually, that's the building called the Treasury, located in the canyon nearby, right where a narrow canyon (also in the movie) opens into the main one. This temple is out in the open, though the architecture is similar to the Treasury.

My point is that we don't know what her father's temper is like under normal conditions. If he's an abuser who's threatened her with violence in the past, she may have believed he was going to kill her, too. I was not being purposefully dense—I was trying to point out that we don't know the normal family dynamic.

How do you know that? You don't know what her father was like.

It's guys, have you noticed? Guys who shoot people for texting, guys who tailgate and flip off, guys who punch people for crimes against their selfness, guys who decide they don't have to be arrested for being drunk and plow into a bunch of people who were just having fun. Whatever happened to just sucking it up and…

You know, it's easy to make jokes about throw pillows and decorated Mason jars, but not all of us who are on Pinterest are there for homey crafts. The people I tend to share pins with seem to be interested in historical photos, art, and information; historical fashions; world travel, history, fashions; unusual travel…

To quote George Takei, "Ohhhh MYYYY."

I hope these are foolies. I really do.

Thanks for this! My degree was in liberal arts; I'm a writer by trade, but I was able to follow the article all the way through. It's fascinating.

It really burns me that he kept telling her "calm down." He was doing the man thing, and she was simply stating what was going on.

What woodwork are these female-hating creepoids emerging from, so we can burn it? Every day it's a new, ignorant, vicious thing of a white man saying something vile about women (or LGBTs, or PoC), and I mean something truly vile. Do they understand what they are doing? Do they care that the people they excoriate…
