It's a college text with a thoughtful, detailed approach to the elements of fiction, and it draws on great books as paradigms. I liked LeGuin's book a lot, btw

@writingabtwriting.bsky.social So what are your all-time favorite books about fiction writing? As a writer and teacher of writing, I've read a bunch. The most useful to me is Writing Fiction by Janet Burroway, though I've learned stuff from many others.

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.

Trump's approach to foreign countries is the same as his approach to women: Do whatever you like, grab whatever you want, and use your weight!

Cervical cancer rates higher in states with low HPV vaccination rates

RFK Jr *lies* when he says cervical cancer risk is increased in women who get the HPV vaccine.

New study: "States with high vaccination rates have seen the biggest drop in cervical cancer, while states with low vaccination rates have had little to no progress"

As measles spreads in South Carolina, RFK Jr’s allies work to gut vaccine laws Activists who dispute safety of vaccines are pushing to limit immunization requirements in schools

No, Leslie. Measles was eliminated in the U.S.

MAGA women (and I say this because men can't) need a good kick in the ass for accepting the rollback of our hard-won rights without so much as a whimper, let alone a roar.

Exposure to rubella is especially risky during pregnancy. It is known to cause birth defects including hearing loss, heart abnormalities, blindness, developmental disabilities, and sometimes miscarriage or infant death

MMR vaccine prevents measles, mumps and rubella

Trump grew up in Jamaica Estates, around the corner from my cousin. He was a punk back then, too.

Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
