Bueno, pues por fin he terminado el capítulo 17 de la reescritura de #ElUltimoSacrificio que de verdad, me tenía ya frita. Pero creo que ha quedado bastante mejor. Además sigo añadiendo matices a un personaje en cuestión que le están aportando una profundidad que en su momento no supe darle y me encanta

When we write using pen and paper, we plan texts more carefully, remember the things we've noted down more accurately, and put less strain on our brains, compared to using a typewriter or computer. @TheConversationUS takes a look at some of the studies around this, and makes the case for continuing to teach handwriting in schools.

Pues creo que voy a ir parando por hoy la sesión de reescritura de #ElÚltimoSacrificio, tengo la cabeza ya que me va a explotar.
Voy por el capítulo 16 de 21, así que no voy mal (tampoco es que tenga que acabarlo en un límite de tiempo, más allá de "lo antes posible 😂 ), pero sí que quiero darme vidilla porque son CUATRO novelas

I live/work in Aotearoa New Zealand, roughly at 43.5° latitude South and 172.6° longitude East. In Ōtautahi Christchurch, if lat/long don't tell you much.

I'm fond of #statistics, often in a #forestry context. I enjoy literature, #photography and music (#jazz in particular). I have a soft spot for #ukulele of the tenor low-G variety.

I like #writing fiction, way more than journal articles.

Double Bind

To secure the world’s sympathy
#Palestinians must be saintly
while, #Israel has undying universal trust
despite continuing to be monstrous.

Now, tell us the difference
between Palestinians & #Hamas
I sigh & say Palestinians are an innocent people
who want to live in #peace

Caught between a rock, called Israel,
and a hard place, that is Hamas.

Hey there Mastodonians.

Last week I lost my #job for the 3rd time in 2023: once to a bankruptcy, once to a toxic CEO, and last week due to an re-org by a parent company that eliminated my position.

Background in #solar #sales #leadership and fiction writing (MFA in creative #writing). Can you pass this around and reply if you have any job leads? I have 0 runway left at this point.

Edit: USA northeast/remote work please!

Readers always get taken out of things, and call it unbelievable, when I use the actual technology of the time.

This photograph is from 1916. That's an electric scooter. We had electric cars and trucks then, too.

¿Qué puedo decir sobre Alejandra Pizarnik que no se haya dicho ya? Muy poco

No soy un biógrafo. No he venido a hablar de historia

Este poema va sobre lo que Alejandra representa, para mi.

No existen las palabras suficientes para describir todo lo que ya significado su poesía para mi, pero hay que hacer intentos.

Alejandra y el viento

Alejandra: Preciosa y perturbada criatura Me ha dicho el viento que aún sigues por aquí, que tu poesía flota por doquier y que sigues siendo igual de irreverente que ayer Dijo también, que te han escuchado recitando a Vallejo, nuestro amigo, el poeta…

When Marnie was there para mí representa un lugar seguro a donde volver. Es de esas películas que podría ver mil veces sin cansarme y sinceramente, es mi favorita de Ghibli sin lugar a dudas

No fue la más exitosa del estudio y seguramente no es la favorita de todos pero para mí, fue una experiencia mágica. Así que, hace un tiempo atrás escribí un poema, podría tomarse como un tributo a Marnie y todo lo que representa. Espero que a alguien le interese leerlo

I left it unfinished for far too long and I forgot what else I was supposed to do with the illustration, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

I can't wait to draw more spirit animals, I love how the bear turned out!

Normalmente escribo un poema a la semana, o a veces uno al inicio y otro al fin, pero bueno, aquí hay otro. Es corto y es directo, capaz no es un poema en todo el sentido de la palabra. He aquí, mis razones para escribir:

Controversial Opinion: I don't use Hero's Journey.

I did in my first book but quickly decided it was far too restrictive and not actually that useful.

The fact it has infected almost all storytelling is quite troubling, IMO.

Turns out Campbell's monomyth idea is not even close to be being correct.

From the linked article:

"academic folklorists and scholars of ancient literature almost universally reject Campbell’s theories as nonsense"

The "Hero's Journey" Is Nonsense - Tales of Times Forgotten

In 1949, an American author named Joseph Campbell published a book titled The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he claims that, fundamentally, all the great stories that human beings have ever told follow the exact same pattern, which is innate in…
