I don’t believe in gossip, but truth be told, we all do it at one time or another. I admire radio and talk show host Wendy Williams for her hustle and for echoing the sentiments of our people in a “keeping it real” kind of way. Her personality is infectious, and even through the TV … Continue rea... read more »

Every now and again we come across a note in Clive’s papers that speaks with particular clarity to the philosophy of a project. Written whilst Abarat was still titled ‘Book of Hours’, these sentiments hold true as he writes The Dynasty of Dreamers and was a ‘definite’ for inclusion as we wrote ab... read more »

At the O Pino town hall, I crossed the highway and gently ascended to the edge of the town. A gravel path led through a eucalyptus forest that opened up to a rural area with houses and plots of farmland. After another short climb through an open area, the Santiago airport came into view, and [... read more »

I've been writing an article about writing for academic journals. I started the article in November, or maybe even last summer, and I am not yet done. I am amazed at how long it is taking me. I seem to enjoy writing when I dig deep into my own experience and then attempt to put words to my experi... read more »

There is a very interesting article in the Atlantic, “The Ethics of Extreme Porn: Is Some Sex Wrong Even For Consenting Adults“. Being the Atlantic, although thorough, it also relates some very dogmatic and (to me) quite offensive responses. But the author has written a fairly well-reasoned piece...

The chickens I had carefully raised from innocent, Easter-greeting-card fluff balls have left their adorable phase. There is nothing attractive about them at this stage.

I was writing a description of the Erotica 101 class I'm planning to teach sometime in September (exact date TBD) at sex toy store The Tool Shed in Milwaukee and realized that perhaps "editor of over 40 anthologies" was outdated, so I counted, and as of now, for full-length print anthologies (not... read more »

A while ago, I wrote a blog post in which I showed compassion for someone that many people consider a villain. Though I in no way agreed with or condoned what this person had done, I was sympathetic toward them. It was a very unpopular viewpoint.

I received a lot of feedback on the subject – mos...

I believe the advice should be: “Know What...
