I don't know how to apologize for my recent absence, except for to just say that I'm sorry. I made the choice to temporarily focus on other projects, but I'll be back as usual next week, I promise.
I wanted to write a post for you today, but I found out that someone else wrote it for me. I know it sounds like a cop-out, but the truth is that this is much better than anything I could have posted today. Also, I spent all of my available free time for the day reading it (I'm a little low on free time just now; no worries). And here it is:
It's about female playwrights, and I read this thinking about my role as a writer. Someday, I'd like to be able to get paid to write plays and screenplays and novels and poems and short stories. And (spoiler alert!) I happen to be female.
I believe that men and women were created by God to be different so that they could work together to create beautiful things. I also believe that the most beautiful things in the world are only possible when both men and women contribute. Some people would say that that makes me a feminist, and some wouldn't. So, I suppose that some people would call this speech feminist, while others wouldn't. I'll just say that it isn't sexist against men, as many who call themselves feminists are. It's just a story about what the environment is like for female writers in 2010, with implications that reach all of us. Once you're finished with that, I would like you to read this article, by the same woman who helped me find the above speech:
I agree with most, but not all, of what these articles say. I'm eager to know what your opinion is, so I would ask that you leave it in the comments section. There will be a quiz!
Regards, best wishes, and stories,

Loved reading those articles, thanks for sharing. I have read a lot of and about Victorian literature, it's a great passion of mine, especially Victorian literature writen by women, many of whom wrote under male pseudonyms. I find it very sad that over 100 years later it is still suggested to women to write under a male name in order to have their talent recognized. Too, too sad.
The article were eye opening, but not a surprise. Finding myself in a "traditionally male" profession, I have seen it first hand. There is still much work to be done as far as "equality" is concerned.
i really adore your posting kind, very remarkable,
don't give up as well as keep writing for the simple reason that it simply just worth to look through it,
