In the end, we all are people. We are the people with dreams, hope, love, friendships, joy, gratitude, serenity, awe, and admiration. We are people with sadness, fear, guilt, loneliness, despair, grief, and remorse. We are the people of emotions. We hold them, all the colors of feelings, we grow with them, we live and we die with them. More than just blood and flesh, we all are the people who experience and exist under the brightest and gloomiest sky of life, from the dazzling pink of love to the grey of sorrows. We live, grow, and leave. In the end, we all are people!

Why hole yourselves up in a stuffy office when a terrace comes with it? Sid Caesar conducts a writing conference for his new TV show, Caesar's Hour, on the terrace of his penthouse office, October 28, 1954. Left to right around the table: Aaron Ruben, Joe Stein, Tony Webster (standing), Caesar, and Mel Tolkin. In the background, Howard Morris and Carl Reiner, Sid's fellow comics, lounge against the rail.

i never held your little hands
though in my dreams, i had
we picked daisies together, we did
and your chuckles still reverberate
over my ears as i try to make sense
of it all
it doesn't make sense, nothing is
making sense
even the hole i try so hard
to fill with thoughts
of you glowing under the sun
seems fleeting
my darling, you were so perfect
but then you fade away
gently, slowly
a dream finally detaching
itself from reality
so i could wake from my sleep
did you think it will be easy?
did you think that it won't hurt?
when i opened my eyes, no words
could console me,
no amount of tears
could wash away my grief
the only thing that holds
my pieces intact is the knowledge
that your pain is over
while mine has just begun
-thoughts before d&c, katie

For several summers now I’ve attended a writer’s conference in St. Louis called Realm Makers, which is a faith-friendly event for writers of fantasy, science fiction, and all the other speculative fiction genres. This year I made a recap video for my YouTube channel, featuring interviews with other “Realmie” authors, to give you all a taste of what we crazy fiction writers do…

The memories of the first time
we met had deeply rooted within
my heart, every single day with
you was a euphoric bliss that I
always yearn for.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

''I know you will never leave me,''
people do things wrong to you deliberately,
they know it, they understand it, they see it,
but they will never change,
because your love is blind and your heart is soft,
and they know what is your weakness,
they know what they are doing,
exactly, and intentionally.

Do You Love Writers' Conferences?
Do You Love Writers' Conferences?
If you do and live near the Chicago area (or don’t mind flying or driving a bit), you can’t go wrong with the In the Trenches Writers’ Conference coming up in November! Lectures, workshops, pitch sessions, and the networking opportunities afforded to those who attend the “barcon” during the after-hours will all be worth the price of admission and travel. Guest speakers include Dave Butler, Jodi…
