A web drama series that we actually enjoy. (And we say that as people who are much more likely to want to watch something and laugh our butts off instead of worry about, you know, something bad happening to the heroes.
Oh, we also like the way this series pretends to deconstruct the whole heroic saga notion while actually injecting it with fresh, and vibrant, life.
Check out the first episode. (Don’t worry. There are plenty more.)
Gizmodo has made a video that’s required viewing for everybody who thinks peer production started because of YouTube. What a terrific – and essential – history lesson this is:
One of the reasons I came to writing relatively late in life is because I never thought of myself as a creative person, an idea I explore in myguide to writing a novel.
Whenever artists and writers are portrayed in movies and on TV, they’re always moody and flighty and bold and wacky and adventurous. Unbound by societal norms and twitchy with creativity that might spring forth at any moment.
I don’t know many writers that fit this stereotype. To be sure, I know plenty of wacky writers, many of us can be social misfits at times and, and on the whole, sure, maybe writing types are a little more moody and flighty and in our own heads than the general population.
LB fell in love with this one. We can understand why:
