I am reminded of Gerard F. Conway's short story "Funeral Service" (1972) in which the mind of a dead relative is implanted into a robot. The main character wants to reconcile with his dead father. Of course real connection with a simulacra is impossible.

So excited for this!
In two weeks the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast will be featuring a story that takes a different angle on Christina Rosetti's "The Goblin Market," so today we're reprising an episode we did over 5 years ago on the sapphic imagery in that poem and others.

I genuinely think that having unmanaged childhood OCD made me a much more developed writer than I otherwise would have been. Im starting far from the finish line because I had a narration problem, it’s a whole thing. Bc there are no do-overs for formerly sick kids, I choose to be thankful for this.

Love this concept.
The Master Study for Authors is up as a guest post on Substack. Is there a writing technique you want to master but you're not sure how to go about learning it? A master study may be the way for you.

The Master Study for Authors
Today Em will steal a tool from the visual artist’s cabinet and bang it into shape for writers. It’s called a Master Study: part copying, part analysis, part hands-on learning.

The relief that an artist’s earlier work is less than their later work! The evidence that practice yields results!

When I was very young, already dreaming of parenthood, I knew that one day I would have both the ability and motivation to write, but would be unable to. Watching my toddler eating oatmeal with their hands and feeling content with my choices.

A healthy sense of what you don’t like can help you come to terms with your own work having its audience. Not everything is universal. The ability to make something that people with vastly different tastes can enjoy is the work of major studios, not artists.
It’s important to dislike things because they’re not to your tastes. There doesn’t have to be a reason, no sin committed by the creator or oversight in its crafting. Sometimes you just don’t like something.
