Writer’s Guild Foundation: Writing for Television 2009 — What You Need to Know »
I don’t know if this is worth the >$100 ticket. From the Web site:
“Television is, famously, a writer’s medium. And some of the best writers working today are active in television. So what do you need to know to succeed in the business today? Multiple panels of prominent television writers will discuss this and many other themes in this intensive one-day seminar.
Breakout groups will allow participants to discuss elements of television writing in small groups with an experienced writer or screenwriting professor as leader. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the best. A must for beginning and mid-level writers alike.”
N. Colmore Print, Peter “Fleable” Flint, The Changeling of Eskdalemuir
N. Colmore Print, Peter “Fleable” Flint, The Changeling of Eskdalemuir, originally uploaded by crowolf.
Not only are the individual Colemore prints and “fatagravures” intriguing in and of themselves, but collectively they begin to weave a narrative of a forgotten inventor, his fantastic invention, and some possibly dark consequences.
This whole series is absolute genius, as are most all of the photos in crowolf’s stream.
I don’t know why this isn’t a book yet. Original Description follows.
A note on the back of the print reads: “Peter “Fleable” Flint, The Changeling of Eskdalemuir at the Jestar Stanes. To be published in A Pictorial History of Human Oddities Being A Richly Illustrated Presentation of Anatomical Curiosities in Human Nature By The Author of Crozier’s Border Tales. by William T. Crozier”
However, Colmore says in his journals that he believed the boy to be more than just a freak of nature. “There was an odd light in his eyes when I made his portraits. He was knowne to keep chackie mills ane matchboxes and tha locals claimed tae see him dancand naked on a fairy-sward neath the full moon. An he was scolded for kennand the other bairns to make elf-stanes. They truly feared him.”
I have not been able to find any record of the publication of A Pictorial History of Human Oddities by William T. Crozier.

Newsweek’s Oprah take-down! »
Gee, I wonder of Oprah "attracted" this negative (but true and very necessary) article to herself. After all, according to Oprah's belief in "the secret" everything that happens to you happens because you brought it on yourself.
