The sad part is that most of them don't even need a 'how to' guide for getting away with rape. It's a daily occurrence. Victims shy away from the repetitive trauma of fighting for justice and violent rapes still tend to be the only ones that are effective prosecutable.
For me it's the premise. You can't build on a shaky one, so the premise has to be firm and worth writing about first. (It's pretty much your elevator pitch to the industry anyway.)
Best movie to feature a blind sage on a handcar.
Really into the idea of just having a friend I can divulge my craft to whilst imploring them to burn everything when I'm gone.
Epublishing in toto. The effect is kind of like being a sushi itamae working for some conveyor belt place with a plastic shinkansen. You have all this stuff you've learned and muscled through abuse for and your client is dumping it into their mouth as a cheap filler and moving onto the next plate.
Inevitably, war is a human construct that can't be avoided: it causes displacement, disenfranchisement, it shows lack of character in societies. Ignoring it or glossing it over is like telling Caliban that it's okay, he's perfect and there's no point in looking at/cursing the mirror.
The Wall's maybe the most deliberate of these.

A Mass Movement: A History of the Baltimore Uprising, From the Ground Up

What once was wild like a torrent,
like a tempest-turbine hurricane,
has become meek and muted
like a unremarkable spring morning rain
All things face erosion as mountains turn to plain
but I think this is facing explosion, from a wild
too tamped and contained.

I built the scaffold high and sure
lashed with bamboo poles
and clad the structure born within
in the loftiest of goals
the rains erupted from the sky
burdensome and heavy
and that is when it occurred to me
I should have built a levy.

Pretty sure I'm going to hear "The pewmah man" on my deathbed thanks to these guys. 😂
Cross purposes like
storm clouds warring well above
man's pluralities.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
It was a temporary problem at least. 😂
It can get awfully emo when it should just be maudlin and tragic.
Its cousin/sister/uncle's roommate trope 'Break the Cutie' is another good one in this vein.
It might be Peyton. She nearly gets an artifact to the face, has mostly offscreen single mom struggles, does most of the work for her former classmate/current boss when he's anxiously checking out, and also has to battle enthralled senior citizen tourists at one point.
Much like the Walton family the Beans are now wretched old money and will protect their social class over anything resembling values.
The same kind used for compiling choose your own adventure novels back in the 90s, I've no doubt. Old and forbidden technology.
Hmm. Tough one. Definitely seeing a Gengar on the right and a deranged charlatan on the left.
Kobo's internal sorting algorithm could do with someone with strong organizational skills.
They can't even pretend he isn't one of theirs. He has the tank, the aviator, the 'dad has been looking up MRA podcasters since the divorce' version of the Van Dyke beard, and leans like he's going to refer to the reported as 'missy.'
Answered my own question. There really is nothing for errant independent creative types any more, is there? (Ironically I went with them over continuing on KDP because I wouldn't be funneling money into the Bezos monopoly engine Amazon's become.)
Oh no...what did they do? 🤦
Dozens of bare legs
I steal dismembered tokens

Congratulations, and hooray for weird little stories!
I think I might have been but completely left the word inferred. 😂
It's part of the opener in book four. 😂 Pays off later, I promise.
Panic in Detroit and Aladdin Sane themselves are the blastocysts of what Bowie would achieve with Station to Station and Heroes. They're all time great Bowie songs that sound like him through and through.
