Writerly Ways

But first Happy Birthday to spiffikins

If I was too sadden by the world to write one last week. You can imagine what it's like now. I am wondering how many more creatives I'll never be able to look at again. I had ditched J.K. Rowling a year ago (but realized I forgot to do that on Jana's twitter so raced to do that even before yesterday's nonsense). So as another creator shows their ugly. Granted Rowling has been doing that for a while now. She just doubled down on the during Pride. SHe's not even trying to hide it now. Sigh.

In a way it's good. Now I know who not to give my money too. I guess the shame of it is, they're smart enough to hide their ugly until they get to the top. I still love Harry Potter but I just can't give her another ounce of time or money. So I guess my writerly ways is don't be a hateful douchebag.
