Every artist gets asked the question, “Where do you get your ideas?” The honest artist answers, “I steal them.” — Austin Kleon Writers are thieves. No, really. We have to be. There are only so many stories out there. Only so many words. Everything we create is a remix in some way. Everything derivative. A reproduction, […]

Me: That’s terrible. Paul S: But applicable! Me: It’s a terrible, awful joke. (Pause.) That was strangely applicable to the conversation.* Weirdly enough, this conversation had nothing at all to do with my rant about dwarves yesterday and rather more to do with the fact that I received a package that said, Instant Rockstars! on […]

Over the holidays I spent possible an unreasonable amount of time reading something in the internet. Okay, many things.

So I have a program on the laptop that allows me to put sticky notes all over my desktop. I use them for all kinds of things, but there’s one in the bottom left corner that is just temporary storage for notes. I type stuff in there when I’m half asleep and I can’t be […]

The second time I studied Shakespeare I was taller. And slightly more conscious. I was an undergrad and it was Shakespeare: Text and Film which meant we got to read the plays and watch the movies for credit. (I actually spent quite a bit of my undergrad career taking classes that allowed the watching of […]
