Don't enter this. You'll lose all rights to your story. Period.

Competitions like this need to be called out, so they learn their good reputation shouldn't be used to steal the bread from writers' mouths. And that we're not all clueless rubes waiting to be taken advantage of.

If you haven't seen our own Greg Ketter of Dreamhaven Books in Minneapolis hearing about Alex, being consumed with fury, and driving down to see and then express his opinion for so many of us? Here he's interviewed by the Banned Books Club. 1/

Cover art for The Cleaving. Artist Chris Panatier.
Four women surround a sword, looking outwards. Ygraine is a resolute queen, determined to defend her people. Nimue is a wise woman, aware of power's temptations for sorcerers and kings alike. Morgana is a sorceress shaped by her experiences, who knows her worth even if men do not. Guinevere is a beauty, dutifully obedient to her father and husband. Why should she ever question that? They are surrounded by birds, animals and flowers. A castle looms in the background.

The text reads: THE WOMEN OF CAMELOT 
HAVE THEIR OWN STORIES TO TELL

Ygraine, Morgana, Nimue and Guinevere have been blamed for the troubles which befell Arthur and Merlin by the chroniclers of Camelot. In truth, they were women with their own powers and destinies whose stories became entwined with the legend of the once and future King.

They were not content to be pawns in men’s games of rivalry and ambition. Supporting each other,  they sought a different future for Albion.

HEAR THEIR LEGEND

The Cleaving is a vivid reimagining of the Arthurian legends: a novel that shines a clear light on the stories we tell ourselves about power, chivalry and magic.

It's all go at the moment. My standalone Arthurian novel, The Cleaving, is a frankly incredible price this week from Amazon. This explores the familiar story from the perspective of the women involved. You have until Friday to grab it!

Love all these recommends. I currently do crosswords to keep my mind active and focused away from (waves hands) all of this. Going to look into some of the logic puzzles, thanks!

How To Tell You’re Being Manipulated By A Story 3 rules of thumb for navigating manipulative waters.

Don't know if there is a limit to this free link I received from Jay Kuo, but investigating Snow's essay is worth your time.

Do you recognize red flags in narrative? Have some ways to recognize manipulative stories. If only we taught this to kids 40 yrs ago....

Here War Is Simple by W H Auden - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetry Comments & analysis: Here war is simple like a monument: / A telephone is speaking to a man;

But ideas can be true although men die
And I have seen a thousand faces
Made active my one lie.

And maps can really point to places
Where life is evil now:
Nanking. Dachau.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
