Like many viewers, I was left disappointed with the lacklustre final season of Game of Thrones. Eight years of epic storytelling ended with a whimper. And so, sensibly, I greeted news of a prequel series with trepidation. GoT had, after all, betrayed me with several years of terrible episodes, how could I possibly trust this […]
The Hate U Give. The Catcher in the Rye. A Time to Kill. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Maus. Charlotte’s Web. Each of these books is among the thousands that have been banned at some time and in some place in the United States. For so much talk of freedom, there are all too […]
The Hero’s Journey is dead. It has nothing further to teach us. We’ve seen enough tales of brave boys ending evil empires with only a magic sword or light saber or assault rifle. These stories have taken us down a toxic path where millions of angry people–mostly but not exclusively male–believe that the answer to injustice […]
Earlier this year, I was invited to try out a new feature in Notion, the notetaking/productivity/database program I use for writing projects. Notion AI is similar to ChatGPT in that it uses AI to help you brainstorm, outline, and even write first drafts. Already many writers were decrying the use of AI on social media, […]

Recently, I fulfilled a childhood dream. My debut fantasy novel sold to a publisher; my words will soon be packaged behind a pretty cover and shared with the world. Along with this victory came an urge to look back on the path that led me here—a path I can more-or-less trace through Twitter, ever since […]
On November 8th, 2016, I put my kids to bed. I smiled down at my two-year-old daughter and thought about how she’d grow up thinking of a female president as an ordinary, accepted thing. Of course, I knew it wasn’t a certainty. The previous weekend, my family and I had gone to an expensive performance […]
My appreciation of Harley Quinn, like many fans my age, dates back to her beginnings as a character, in the ‘90s as a henchwoman and romantic partner for the Joker in the brilliant Batman: The Animated Series. At the time she was mostly just a fun, brash villainous gal with an infectious accent swinging a […]
