(What an udder failure.)
Do you like puns?
I love puns.
I once entered a pun contest and I wrote ten different puns, but at the end, none of them won.
That is correct. No pun, in ten, did.
In complete honesty, puns are one of my weaknesses. I love ...
The Challenge of Writing Genius
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 7, 2020
Everyone loves a genius! The character that has the answers, or makes the deductions, or solves the puzzles for the team. The guy (or gal) that will have a gift for noticing what nobody else does, sees the connections that elude everyone else. Even in stories that aren't of ...

On Writing Therapists 2
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 18, 2020
Therapists are the type of character whose occupation can easily seep into their ‘off the clock’ life. It's not something that can often be helped. Psychologists don't ‘turn off’ their perception of behavioral patterns and personality analyses, the same way you can't ‘unsee’ the rabbits after you ...

Reimagining Ethnic Stereotypes
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Dec. 16, 2019
Following the release of Disney’s latest streaming device, I have had the opportunity to watch the newest live action movie of Lady and the Tramp based on the 1955 animated version of the same name. I would be remiss not to to say that I started my subscription mainly ...
