Most links within actually have something to do with writing...or shame or revenge. Mwahaha.
From Houston Press blogs comes this image with a rad collection of cool video clips of revenge songs.
J. Steven York posts about what writers (might) need from publishers. What he's got to say about Publicity/Advertising/Sales Support, Copyright Enforcement, and Legal Protection from Nuisance Lawsuits is worth reading. Legal revenge is the cold gazpacho that gives lasting heartburn.
In the WSJ, Amy Chozick reports on revenge and the one-eyed devil-box:
In television, the writer rules. Writers often make the creative and day-to-day managerial decisions, even if their work weeks can be unglamorous, pulling late nights in their sneakers surrounded by empty take-out pizza boxes. They also possess a little-talked-about power: the written word as a way to settle scores, keep high-maintenance actors in line and poke fun at anyone who gave them a hard time in junior high.
Katherine Powers of the Boston Globe wants to confess and discover the guilty pleasures of reading and I'm glad she branches out from the typical paperback ghettos, since one man's genre gutter is likely my Taj Mahal:
"One person confessed to nutrition and weight-loss books and another to the memoirs of rock-band groupies (“can’t put them down’’). Young-adult fiction, super-hero comic books, accounts of disasters and animal attacks, guides to music and movies (“that tell me what I should like, thus saving me the trouble of thinking for myself’’), all there, all excellently discreditable."
My mom read cookbooks or the Sears catalog with her cereal every morning. I've got a friend who adores self-help. I can always get down with a good Weekly World News. You?
