Week One Evaluation of My First 12-week Year
What a Big Week this has been! (Get pictures) In the past few weeks, I have worked hard to get as much publicity for my latest book Oregon County, Wild and Scenic within my county. The book is about the county so because the eclipse is happening this afternoon, the local towns have prepared for the influx of visitors to Oregon County. I had strategically placed books in various venues around…

I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes
#dune#palestine#gaza#free gaza#science fiction#media#Like yes the popcorn bucket is dumb and tone deaf marketing#but like you have a lot of connections#lot of it was very much allegorical to the real like events that took place during the time of the books conception#Including the good guy faction still imposing their own idea of correct environment by introducing a bunch of their own agriculture#When natives to the region do have their own tech and plants to live from#because they know their land and how to live in it#Oh and also spice being a resource being plundered for great profit that a imperial society is reliant on and will kill for

"the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story can't hurt you!!"
the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story:
#WE HERE IN K L O T H S T U R#the witcher books#[ Nobody liked that. ]#i like how the first two 'main' translations (like published for mass market circulation ones i mean)#were like 'no we can't call it a strzyga... no no...'#(maybe like: 'the english readers won't understand...')#and then when the game and book hit (i.e. both beginning with geralt fighting the striga)#everyone was like 'whoa that striga was really cool'#idk idk enough about it yet to say anything definitively#but my experience and all the other reviews and experiences i've read#from other anglophone readers with no prior exposure to polish or broader slavic myth or culture#has been just like: 'whoa i never knew about that... that's really unique and cool'#and on the flip side. originally witcher gained popularity in part because of the familiarity of the fairy tale#and so despite that witcher in general takes a lot of everything from across europe#if i may just summarize it really obtusely and without taking the precaution of nuance and all#although the first two translations were very much intended to feature polish writers and writing#in the way of the actual translation it feels like they tried to diminish its 'polishness' for the english reader#like for example in chosen by fate itself there are no diacritics (though idk maybe that was a lack of capability of the printing press)#it FEELS like that i'm not saying it was intentional but#for example when you don't say 'leshies' and instead say 'bugbears' that feels like diminishing it#but then later when the witcher's quote-unquote 'polishness' is allowed to come through clearer#then it actually is part of why english audiences were like whoa this is interesting i like it :)#you know real-life events are stories too. and i feel like this is a story with a good moral: 'be yourself'#this is also one of the prime subjects where i disagree with sapkowski lol#because re: 'death of the author' theory type stuff. authors cannot control how their works are interpreted by their audiences#works get interpreted on their own fortunately or unfortunately#so though i think it would be misled to engage with the witcher as if its ONLY good quality is its 'polishness'#i think that also it should be acknowledged how its unique take on culture made it appealing to both domestic and foreign audiences#i think where the problem lies is when we believe it can't be both polish and a blend of multiple cultures and traditions#because like yeah. author is an arthurian weeb

I love zines, I love my local community, I love friendship. I love waving to people who I know! Wah! Yay!
#i just finished the final tabling event of the year for me and i'm very happy#there's a possibility i'll do one or two more markets before the actual end of year -- you know how it is#but this was the final scheduled major event#now to rest and focus on my book

Oh btw, my first con (and first furry con) was an absolutely amazing experience! 10/10 would go again 😁💕
#although we may need to plan out eating situations a little better next time for big cons like that#bc every restaurant near the con center was closed for a private event or booked solid or over an hour wait time#other than that. great con! i felt so at home#and omg the merch i got. had no idea that possums were so marketable!#i swear every other booth at the dealer's den had possum merch#amazing i loved it#sky sez

i love when hiring managers play cute little games with applicants in their job descriptions on seek.
#life#about me#shut up ilona#ilona's jobhunting thoughts and woes#ilona's work dilemmas#ilona's work thoughts#like to be fair this IS for a local music agency where i am#so it makes sense that i'd have to know some basic (and very googleable info) about an aussie singer that we might have in our portfolio#...ie. missy higgins#but also. the 'include the phrase crafting success or we wont even bother looking at you application' is rude asf#and yeah yeah i get both of these things are also testing the 'ninja of detail and accuracy' shit they have throughout the rest of this ad#and it's also a play on their business name bc ~creative industry~ people are insufferable so r.i.p me#they also keep saying 'must be a wizard with tech' in the JD#but im still applying because this engages little 18yo me in her entertainment industry course so much and booking bands headspace#and also bc my old cadetship job REFUSED to let me do any event planning/booking/organisation stuff bc apparently.....#....'it's NEVER been relevant to you and your journey so just accept that we wont let you do it'#NO!!!!!!!!!!!#scream crying while trying to not to throw my laptop out the window while applying to this role either this week or next week#even though they defs want an event management or marketing student or grad from uni or tafe#but FUCK EM

I'm doing my first author event this weekend!
For those of you in Chicago, I'll be at Sundays on State on July 16th. I'll have copies of Fae Deals to sign, but since I won't have copies of Returning to You I made bookmarks to give out!
I'm nervous but excited. Here's hoping I sell *some* books.

Knowing the onsen has closed has left a hole in me. Even though I live far away I always looked forward to it when I visited and now?? WHAT
#i mean theres the food and the asian grocers and the transport and and the art and the availability of craft supplies#and late night book stores and REAL markets and uighur resturants and my mummy and all the happy ghosts of memories with my ex and parks#and gardens and events and galleries and museums and the beach#but.....i miss bath

woke up this morning and realized if I’m already gonna be apartment hunting in april, maybe I would just sign a lease then too and pay a little more if that means leaving earlier… being here while a friendship slowly deteriorates by the day makes me sad and the peace of mind I will be able to secure for myself if I find a place sooner in my timeline is worth the cost imo
#I’m mostly thinking ahead in the event that a place I really like is about to be snatched off the market#and if it’s a choice between waiting til May when the apartment could be unavailable#or signing the lease earlier than I anticipated in April the latter sounds smarter#also like…I wouldn’t move out immediately#I’m taking a page out of my friend’s book and I’d paint / decal the place first and slowly load it with furnishings#like moving out gets me so excited I just wish it was pure excitement and not like…relief from ongoing anxiety#astricast

do english speakers think that chinese people would think T"S" as in Square, the english word, because its like so obviously not called that in chinese lmao. the place is called tiananmen guangchang.. but even then there's a much more common moniker for the specific event (rather than the place) in chinese which I don't think self-important monolingual-anglophone sinophobes who just assume 'oh no its big bad censorship. teehee' should be permitted to know anyway.
#in other words you people are so fucking weird about china. fuck off#and is it so surprising that the word 'massacre' is nowhere near what chinese people call the event.#oh wait I'd guess you'd be surprised (or think it's propaganda/brainwashing/censorship) if ur inundated with anti-china propaganda#but seriously 1. it's not called a massacre because it wasn't one and#2. the info is open and not censored - well unless it's incorrect info. misinfo and propaganda should be censored#2.5 . there are corroborations about what actually happened with western media orgs on the ground at the time.#guess what it doesnt match up with all that 'massacre' baloney that Operation Yellowbird beneficiaries are still cooking up#3. people don't talk about it much anymore in the mainland because the discourse literally ran its course. decades ago.#4. saw in other notes that tswift's book or something said they had to pull the merch - western self-censorship in chinese markets isnt new#at all. like western video game companies will change bone/skull depictions for 'chinese market' because they self-censor#and wail about 'censorship' because they didnt want to go through more paperwork to get it approved/rated with the publications bureau#meanwhile there are PLENTY of domestic chinese games with bones &gore &creepy dead shit. but please tell me more about brutal censorship

#i don't go here specifically but#still can't get over this book#that is marketed as fiction “inspired by...”#that is now being referred to by fans (like tumblr hello????) as some sort of objective documentation of actual events#the whole thing has been very disingenuous#every time i see this i'm like#what.

WRITER’S FORUM E-BOOKS REVIEWS
WEBSITES HELPFUL TO WRITERS This is a series of posts which, I think, will be beneficial to writers. But first, I would like to include my usual warning about using websites. Whenever you check a website you are, in my opinion and I talk from experience, being put on a list for sale. So, expect the possibility of being bombarded by ads from companies you, perhaps, have…
