Interesting links re. ethnicity

Jun13

I find 2a in this post by [personal profile] recessional to be very interesting.

I confess, I rarely notice ethnicity in stories and tend to fill in my own coloration (I wish wish wish cover art matched author’s descriptions!); in Addergoole, when trying to get an ethnic mix that approximated the ethnic mix of the US (while not having quarters of students), I still ended up with some weird concentrations. Maybe I should do an ethnicity cloud for Ag. Hunh, that would probably look weird.

But anyway, I liked the link.

If you haven’t checked out [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith‘s Schrodinger’s Heroes fics/scripts, you really ought to. The idea is awesome, and one I’m thinking of duplicating.

Poem: “The Changeling’s Return” (Signal Boost)

May11

Go read [info]ysabetwordsmith‘s  Poem: "The Changeling’s Return"

This poem came out of the May 3, 2011 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was selected in the generally sponsored poetry poll.  It was inspired by a prompt from [info]haikujaguar who related an anecdote about a transgender person using the changeling myth to retell their own story.  This is the heart of all storytelling, the power inherent in myths and folk tales — it lets us turn our own experiences into stories, making them easier to remember, to deal with, to incorporate into our lives.  Think about the stories you tell of your own life, and the family stories you pass down.  Then read this one, with its dual levels of meaning, the faerie and the transgender…

This poem really spoke to me, far more than I expected this theme to.  Wow. 
 


Links, and then a few more links: E-books & Business

IdeaTrash: the Business of Writing – a good all-purpose article on said topic.

HaikuJaugar on E-book Stats
And Killer Chicks on E-book stats (via R.S. Bohn)
And more, from Jim Hines, via Eseme

HaikuJaguar’s open letter to Smashwords, a must-read
Cory Doctorow on CreateSpace, again via Eseme

John Scalzi on revenue streams, also via Eseme

HaikuJaguar again, a page of writing links.

This is a fraction of my e-publishing links, but they seem to go together well. Thanks, [personal profile] eseme, et al!

Happening Elsewhere Links etc.

If you have not checked out TheSilentPoet’s 28 poems in 28 days, you really should. She has a lovely way with twisting fairy tales.

[personal profile] haikujaguar has posted another Three Micahs article, on agility. These are great, informative, and fun articles on art as a small business, generally a business of one.

[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith has posted an interesting link discussing whether or not a writer is a brand. As I contemplate branding myself with my logo rather literally, I find this interesting.

Speaking of interesting, cool, and Micah, check on this interview

and, to end the people-are-awesome portion of my linkage,
[profile] tybarbary has a really cool set of links in this week’s Things I Learned This Week post.

And!
[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith‘s Poetry Fishbowl is coming next week! 3/1/11, and the theme is!! “Things With Wings.” !!
