  1. “Larson is something of a cult figure to scientists; Who recognise in his cartoons a voice of a kindred spirit.” — Lynn Sherr, ABC's, 20/20. 1986.

  2. What the Dramatist Knows About Monsters

    I sold my first paid byline to a Lincoln, Nebraska, newspaper at the age of ten. That was 1975. In the fifty-one years since, I have continued to be paid to construct figures that audiences will find frightening, or sympathetic, or contemptible, or laughable, on schedule, in plays and musicals and screenplays and novels and podcast scripts and editorial work. My Dramatists Guild membership dates from 1984. My MFA is from the Oscar Hammerstein II Center for Graduate Theatre Studies at Columbia University. A publishing house I founded in the same year I sold the first byline has operated without interruption since. The inventory exists for a single reason: the labor of figure-construction is something I know from inside the work, and the working-dramatist's perspective on that labor is the perspective from which my new book is written.

  3. Your Essence vs. Ego – The Goddess Knows (A Witch’s Perspective)

    “I don’t want to miss an opportunity. But … but I’m shaking,” a friend, Henry, said.Henry is artistic, and he was facing a whole new venue for his art. A big opportunity.“And a big risk,” Henry said. In talking with spiritual elders … the conversation often turns to the idea of “your essence versus your ego.” Henry’s essence is “artist.” His ego is “scared guy worried about making a mistake.” The idea is that one’s ego is made of fear. The ego tries to […]

  20. Scars talk back

    Scars talk back

    Keeping pain buried inside
    is a foolish way to survive,
    even storms that split the heavens
    must thunder to stay alive.


    We were never made for silence,
    never built to slowly break,
    hearts are not abandoned graveyards
    for every wound we take.


    Words are dangerously appealing,
    they turn ashes into flame,
    give trembling souls a language,
    give lost nights back their name.


    We have swallowed enough darkness
    to understand the light,
    learned that courage isn’t loudness—
    it is choosing still to fight.


    What survives in hiding
    Slowly turns to stone;
    Rivers that refuse to flow,
    Are left by the ocean alone.


    So let the truth arrive untamed,
    let old fears finally depart,
    because healing never blossoms
    inside a guarded heart.


    And if life carves us open,
    let it also make us wise—
    for the souls that speak their sorrow
    are the ones that truly rise.

  21. A Mother Lode of Resources on Character Fear

    Writing The Fear Thesaurus taught us so much about the psychology of fear and how that translates for our characters. The difference between minor and deep fears, the role fear plays character arc, how we can build it into a story’s turning points to shore up the structure…there’s so much to know about this important...

  22. Almost every time I see a particular statement from a transphobe about trans people and trans rights, part of me is intrigued and, in some cases, quite frankly amazed. Anti-trans figures have this bizarre tendency to paint themselves as enlightened, rational figures who are going against the grain and speaking truth to power, while at the same time being so overly emotional as to seem hysterical.
