There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

The Aurealis Awards ceremony is online today at 4pm AEST. I'm not up for an award this time, but I will be presenting one and it's always fun to see everyone and celebrate the achievements of Aussie spec fic writers. Watch social media for the link from 3pm today. I'll share it too.

The first duty of a novel is to entertain. Readers don't want a lecture, they want to be transported by the power of story. Sure, we might explore some deep ideas, the reader and the author together, but only in the context of a good yarn. The primary responsibility of fiction is to entertain.

When McGrath & LNP complain about Climate200 $$ what they are saying is that they are offended by tens of thousands of individuals funding Indi candidates and they feel entitled to own seats because of Gina & Rupert’s money. Fuck them and the coal train they rode in on. #BinNight #AusVotes #Auspol

1/3 Things I have learnt in recent years about politics. Who you vote for in an election matters, but not as much as what you do between election. The price of a healthy democracy is eternal action.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 357: If you think of your characters as people, so will your readers. That means giving them a past, interests, people in their lives, likes, dislikes, a culture, an education, (dis)abilities, strengths, weaknesses. Your readers don’t need to know it all, but you do.

Well I just voted, on a Saturday, although I could easily have voted earlier if I had wanted to, and my vote is preferential, and really what better day to celebrate how much better our system is than so many other countries. (Side-eyes the USA.)

Yeah, about [conservative politics needing to] “reconstitute as a constructive force which reflects modern Australia” ..um, do we need that? Labor is already as centre-right as a modern democracy needs, and frankly any ‘kinder’ words coming out of the coalition need be taken with lots of salt.

So Extremely Itchy

There are high numbers of autistic people in the sciences. So one could argue that autism causes vaccines.
