I lay it down here.

I report about these talks here and here. If you#8217;re interested in the process of authorship or the role of literature in society as both influence and reflection, you might find these worthwhile reads#8211;particularly if you are a woman writer.

This song is kind of cheery but ultimately still dark, which I feel is appropriate for a sunny day in late October.

Who knew that dude from Pulp is making disco songs now? No complaints here!

To me, much of what he comes up with seems pretty obvious, but I#8217;m a millennial and admittedly take this digital age stuff for granted. Also, I have a pretty low tolerance threshold for self-aggrandizing guru types.


Anyway, I listened to him talk for 90 minutes last week at the International Festival of Authors and wrote about it here. Whether or not I think he#8217;s as great as he does, it#8217;s true that the work he does has its place. I wonder how other Gen Y-ers think of the guy. At least from what I gathered of the audience at Friday#8217;s talk, the handful of us under 30 were all there on assignment anyway.

Behold: the ladies behind the voices.

While the semi-aquatic weasels are native to the region, only recently have the sleek, coffee-coloured critters become regular sightings along Toronto shores.


Ralph Toninger of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority says this is a very good sign.#8221;

In case, for some reason, you opted to stay indoors on a perfectly summery Sunday afternoon or *gasp!* spent your day elsewhere, Torontoist was there in full force to single out the setups that may have been missed by even those in attendance: the small, the quirky, and the unexpected.

But since Toronto has the Leafs to contend with, catharsis must be sought elsewhere. It’s a good thing there’s Twitter.#8221;

Fight the urge to punch these people who call you #8220;baby#8221; in the face. Because you could, and you would probably injure them. You#8217;re stronger than people guess. You restrain yourself because you#8217;re better than that.


Wear really short shorts and get away with it.

(Once was? Am? Shudder.)

No, this isn#8217;t another one of those abandoned blogs you run into. I took a vacation. Specifically, an #8220;I refuse to write anything unless it#8217;s contributing to my rent#8221; vacation. When you#8217;re burned out, even writing for pleasure becomes a burden.


Now I#8217;m back. Besos and hugs.
