When solitary confinement is not abuse

In my non-fiction writing class today (I teach it) one of the students presented a chapter from a book she is writing on the French author Colette. In it she cites Colette's first husband, Willy, 'abusing' her, by locking her in a room for days on end and forcing her to write. 'Abuse?' I said, 'Never! I dream of the day when my husband will lock me in a room and force me to write!

The Newest News Not Yet

Newspapers are so yesterday. It's no wonder they suck, they kill trees and their traditional business model is falling apart. TV tries hard but it's not like there's ever going to be enough Walter Cronkites to go around and there's way too many commercials. The Internet is the Internet and even with all the multimedia portability of broadband wireless, it feels like it's getting more and more like a self-serving succubus of superfluous self-importance than anything else selling so fast that it'l… Continue
