I was talking to my non-writer but very supportive husband about how it is almost as likely to be struck by lightning as it is to be published, and he said
“If you just keep running into every storm you see, it is bound to happen.”
And I kind of love it.

Cast Member of the Year goes to this percussive line attendant at the Ferris wheel at Disney’s California Adventure. I’m also loving the random guest dancing along.

How awesome is it that #FinANarwhalMusical by @narwhalsexist hit #1 new release in Everyday Life Graphic Novels!?! Granted it’s not every day you have narwhals flying through post apocalyptic Seattle, but it’s still cool!

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with one purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
