Tonight, I'm throwing away this crippling writer's block, cracking open an IPA (@FlyingDog ) and putting words on the page. I dedicate this to Anne Rice, whom we just lost.
Anne, these words are for you, as you were one of the few that showed me the way to the page.

A lot of people who are neither copyright lawyers nor authors are talking about "fair use", so as a non-lawyer who has worked in publishing for twenty years, here is what fair use is:
You and the one you're arguing with go to the courthouse and spend all your money finding out.
@LandonDena I love that we've never met (though dear friends say dear things) and I utterly despise him. Your ex is so horrible and you don't deserve this, but I'm also so inspired by so much of your journey. Thank you for being you.
@LandonDena So much truth. Schools outsource knowledge, losing the depth and breadth of teaching and learning that used to be a given, alas. But you will freaking rock at all of it because you're an inspiring dynamo.
@LandonDena Given how things have been for me, I figure my struggles will eventually lead to hard-won joys...and I will be proud of myself when the work pays off...which is why I'm so proud of you!
