sxswf: Reel Crime, Real Victims

There are some SXSW panels that stick with you. Reel Murder: From Crime Scene to Big Screen wasn't memorable just because of the guests or the topic. It was because the panelists spoke from experience about the horror of violent crime.

Bedside Manner: A Life Unread

When people ask me what I'm reading, my answer is embarrassing: Everything, and yet not much. I dearly love to read, and yet the great irony of my chosen profession as a writer is that I'm a painfully slow reader. It's a reality that I think makes me a pretty good proofreader, but a real burden when trying to keep up with books and magazines.

Bedside Manner: Dystopian Dreams

As a full-time graduate student, freelancer, mom, wife, and dilettante hobbyist with a Facebook problem, I don’t do as much reading (of books) as I used to. I try to alternate my guilty pleasures (YA lit) with headier, more literary fare. Funnily enough, when I corralled all of my in-progress titles, I saw a pleasing balance among them.

Goth comic king James O'Barr at Staple! this weekend

A Lot to Crow About

There aren't many comics that were true cultural landmarks. The first appearance of the Yellow Kid. The first issues of Action Comics, Fantastic Four and Watchmen. But few contemporary works have had the long-running appeal of The Crow, whose creator James O'Barr is in Austin this weekend for a new documentary screening at Staple!

This ... is ... Staple!

Yes, but what is it? Will it hurt? Will it help me find love and/or success? Will it remove several unsightly pounds from my aging meatus? Will it fix my dying car? Will it blend?

OMG, WHAT THE FUCK IS IT?
