I'm pulling together a lot of thoughts on plagiarism, influences, understanding our villains and the trouble with protagonists as avatars, taking ourselves out of the poem, and how there's no magic formula.

Author finances and why being transparent about money isn't that easy. Also a bit more on Bard Art Friend, the ways in which we steal stories from each other, appropriation, intention, and owning our motivations.

The article on author finances that I mention is here (https://www.salon.com/2015/01/25/sponsored_by_my_husband_why_its_a_problem_that_writers_never_talk_about_where_their_money_comes_from/).

A bit more about Bad Art Friend and the really excellent discussion about it in the New Yorker. Also about kindness, what it means to us, whether it's a weakness or takes a particular strength of character.

The follow-up New Yorker article, which reviews the short story at the center of the bad art friend saga, is here (https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-story-at-the-center-of-the-bad-art-friend-saga).

About the story told in the article Bad Art Friend and its implications for how we approach writing and gleaning details from others that we weave into our stories, including blender settings and not being cruel.

The article, Bad Art Friend, is here (https://archive.is/zYweu).
