I’m also on the Wisdom app now*! I’m just giving it a test, and there aren’t a lot of people on, but if you get it and see i’m on, you can listen and maybe get a chance to chat (voice) with me.

*This app is free, and I’m not being paid for endorsing. It’s very new and there aren’t a lot — okay, ANY — of people talking about writing there yet, so it gets lonely when I listen to talks about life coaching.

September was a wild month, and I have tried to record as best I can. So I figure how can we handle struggles not by resting or pushing through on our “real” writing, but by being weird.

Worth a try, anyway.

[DD] What Does John Milton Have To Do With YA?

HEY check out my Speakeasy class on NaNoWriMo coming up on October 12, 8pm EDT!

Yup, we’re talking, a little late, about the YA Ratings debacle, but through the lens of dead white guy John Milton.

Yeah, he was a cranky old man, writer of super long Bible fanfic, and helped with regicide a little bit, but he also was a strong anti-censorship advocate. Which, considering you could lose your head for writing something offensive, was pretty damn brave.

My Milton professor made anything sound good. He was so excited about Milton that he made us excited. And Aeropagitica has stuck with me, even if the attention span to re-read it has not.
