Oh wow! Lawyer interviews for a job at a law firm, is unsuccessful. Sues the firm for not hiring him, claiming the lawyers who interviewed him discriminated against him b/c of his sex & marital status.

Neil Gaiman and the FourPlay String Quartet. Lovely haunting, the opening ticking of the clock had me looking around the room for a clock. Fantastic sound. And #1 on Billboard chart, who saw that coming. #neilgaiman #fourplaystringquartet🎻 #music #poetry amzn.to/42AM4Rm

90% of success in the arts stems from not giving a crap about something that happened twenty years ago that made you feel bad about your art. Just get on with it and make new stuff. Stop looking in the rear view mirror.

When you hear someone got a 6 figure book deal, this is how it really works out when It’s broken down.
It’s still not a bad look, but understanding how it really works puts some much needed perspective on it.

If a writer says, "I sold a pilot for $100k," the public misconception is that this person just made a lot of money and shouldn't be complaining when [INSERT OTHER PROFESSION] makes less.
Here's how industry news publications COULD help dispel this myth, if they wanted to...

She worked in oils, watercolor & designed stained glass. I became aware of her because of this Arthurian painting, The Magic Mantle, based on a ballad about a magic cloak that could only be word by a faithful woman. As we see here, Queen Guinevere has been caught out.

Pre-Raphaelite era painter Charles Allston Collins, "Convent Thoughts". Meticulous craft here. He was 1 degree of separation from a lot of cool people. His brother was novelist Wilkie Collins, author of "The Woman in White" and his wife was Charles Dickens's daughter.
