![]() ![]() And we get we sacrifice everything of our own selves, to bring that that new life forth, and even once it’s been brought forth, to protect it and to raise it and to educate it and to help it come into its own. And I might also say, speaking to you as a woman, a parallel to that would be the virtues of a mother-that as artists, we are giving birth to something, right? And as a mother, we are in service to that new life. And we need the virtues of a warrior to confront this-the virtues of courage, of persistence, or perseverance, of the willing embrace of adversity and that sort of thing. ![]() So I do feel like as artists, we are warriors. And I’m definitely a believer in that, that there’s this negative force that a writer or any artist faces in trying to reach to the higher level to find ideas, to tell stories, to do whatever it is. ![]() In Jewish mysticism, there’s a thing called the yetzer hara it’s a negative force that stands between our material plane and the neshamah, the soul, trying to block the neshama from talking to us and us from reaching up to that. So the bottom line is, I really do see life as a war, an internal war, an inner war. That is a force of self-sabotage that we all deal with, right? That distracts us and makes us procrastinate and makes us walk away from our true calling and go someplace else. ![]() It comes from the idea that in The War of Art, as you know, I talked about this force that I call Resistance with a capital R. Steven Pressfield: A lot of that war analogy comes from being a writer. ![]()

Testaments, letters, and narrative convincingly capture Mary’s immediate and moving voice as she becomes part of the circle of disciples and comes to grips with the divine. Brilliantly grounded in both biblical and secular historical research, it depicts Mary of Magdala in the first hundred years of the first millennium even as it peels away layers of legend. ![]() Was she a prostitute, a female divinity figure, a church leader, or all of those? Hallmarked by bestselling author Margaret George’s dazzling mix of history and creativity, Mary, Called Magdalene is George’s most ambitious work yet. We know more about her than about many of Christ’s male disciples, and her significance is enshrined in her ancient honorific ‘Apostle to the Apostles.’ But still, as a woman, she remains in shadow. Magdalene are tantalizingly brief, yet she continues to spark controversy, curiosity, and veneration. ![]() ![]() That’s something that’s true for all of us. I knew I wanted to tell a story about destiny and soul mates and the power of our choices, and I knew I wanted to give Abby an experience that would force her to come to terms with the fact that the only moment she can control is the present one. Lauren Miller: Thank you! Parallel was very much an evolution. How did you come up with the idea for such a unique book? The Daily Quirk: First of all, I just want to say that I absolutely LOVED Parallel. Miller was kind enough to chat with us about her incredible book. Each day she discovers more about her parallel self’s past and has to learn how to cope with the fact that each new decision her parallel makes could change her life forever. and having a role in a sure-to-be-blockbuster movie, she is studying journalism at Yale. ![]() Lauren Miller’s debut novel, Parallel, is a stunningly complex novel about a young woman named Abby who wakes up one morning only to discover that she has somehow wound up in a parallel universe where, instead of living out in L.A. ![]() Author Lauren Miller (Image Credit: Lauren Miller) ![]() ![]() OL17094208W Pages 50 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.14 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20210616141341 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 154 Scandate 20210614112327 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9780544104433 Tts_version 4.

She also learned that one job is not enough you need at least two if you int to live indoors.Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity - a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate stratagems for survival. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job - any job - can be the ticket to a better life. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. Our sharpest and most original social critic goes "undercover" as an unskilled worker to reveal the dark side of American prosperity.Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. ![]() ![]() There was, across the room, a doorway that probably led to a bathroom. The bed was what it had always been: a solid platform that gave slightly to the touch and that seemed to grow from the floor. The walls were light-colored-white or gray, perhaps. ![]() She sat up, swayed dizzily, then turned to look at the rest of the room. It could not matter while she was confined this way, kept helpless, alone, and ignorant. It had occurred to her-how many times?-that she might be insane or drugged, physically ill or injured. At an earlier Awakening, she had decided that reality was whatever happened, whatever she perceived. The room did not only seem dim, it was dim. The room seemed dimly lit, though she had never Awakened to dimness before. When her body calmed and became reconciled to reanimation, she looked around. ![]() Circulation began to return to her arms and legs in flurries of minute, exquisite pains. Lilith Iyapo lay gasping, shaking with the force of her effort. ![]() It was a struggle to take in enough air to drive off nightmare sensations of asphyxiation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know if this is true, but I think I’m also left with the impression that bi men are more likely to stay closeted for longer. (The other one is Wolf from Future Man, who I actually really adore as a character.) Another difference is that bi women are seen as “secretly straight,” while bi men are seen as secretly gay. But I can only name two bi men from TV off the top of my head, and that’s only because my partner reminded me of one of them (Blaine, on Glee) today. ![]() I can name a handful of bi women characters from television (usually ethnically ambiguous side characters who serve as love interests to a more important white male character), even if the representation is not very good. One chapter is an exploration of phallagocentrism and bi visibility- how if a man is even a little bit interested in another man, or a penis, he is Gay. Many of the men say they thought they were the only bi men in the world, or at least were the only bi men they knew. Each chapter is also longer, on average, than the ones in Getting Bi. This anthology is similar to Getting Bi, but its content is more focused (just on bi men), and the section themes are different: identity, challenging labels, liminality, institutions, “anger, angst, and critique,” bodies and embodiment, religion and spirituality, traveling, and relationships. ![]() ![]() (Her family is not related to Confederate general Robert E.
