Writerly Ways
Mar. 26th, 2023 10:27 pmI am holding the science faire run down til tomorrow. Weather took out my internet/phone/power yesterday. I just learned a few hours ago while some of the middle schoolers were at our science fair, the roof was ripped off their school by the winds. It was nuts, not as bad as further south but damaging enough.
I'm having a hard day (mostly just exhausted from working on class lectures) so I'm just doing the link run down. I will say if you want to work in mental health issues into a character both Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) and Mayim Balik both have podcasts about it, Inside You and Breakdown respectively. I'm only luke warm on them as interviewers (Mayim especially, I'm not sure if inappropriate laughter is part of her stress reactions but if so, maybe say that because otherwise it seemed like she was laughing at Wil Wheaton's pain) but on the other hand there is some frank talk about what it looks like to have these issues.
