A 'strong female character'
drshebloggo: DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN a character who is physically strong a character who is mentally strong a character who is emotionally strong ABSOLUTELY MEANS a character who makes her own choices, even if they’re mistakes a character whose point of view is explored at least briefly a character who is the hero of her own story whether she knows it or not And that’s just a strong...

Work Hard and Be Kind: An Interview With Chris...
Rookie: What advice would you give to someone who is in the early stages of that and possibly struggling?
Chris Ware: To work as hard as possible, and then, when you think you’re done, to work just a little bit harder. To know that if it feels “right” it may actually be completely wrong, and that if it feels “wrong” it may be completely right. There’s no governing principle to any of this except that strange instinct and feeling within yourself that you simply have to learn to trust, but which is always unreliably changing. To create something for people who have not been born yet. To pay attention to how it actually feels to be alive, to the lies you tell yourself and others. Not to overreach—but also not to get too comfortable with your own work. To avoid giving in to either self-doubt or self-confidence, depending on your leaning, and especially to resist giving over your opinion of yourself to others—which means not to seek fame or recognition, which can restrain rather than open your possibility for artistic development. With all this in mind, not to expect anything and to be grateful for any true, non-exploitative opportunity that presents itself, however modest. And to understand that being able to say “I don’t know what to do with my life” is an incredible privilege that 99% of the rest of the world will never enjoy.

I have this dream that One Direction will let me direct the video for “Heart Attack” and turn it into a total subversion of all sad girl whose just been broken up with stereotypes, INCLUDING: Harry crying alone at the movies and throwing popcorn at the couple making out in the row in front of him. Niall running into his ex at the grocery store, as he wears dirty sweatpants and...
