"It turns out, as obviousness would have it, that our brains (especially those of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in this case) have been teaching us neurology through comic books and the movies that have come from them."
Full article linked to from my profile, click "abraham" below, awesome!!
"For writers in the next half century and beyond, a comprehension of how creative writing, neurology, biology and our environment interact will be essential for a successful career."

The smart suit self powers via nanotechnology in the fabric. It replaces the phone, building heating/cooling systems, and all other kinds of clothing. It is the real green revolution, reducing the carbon footprint of humanity, giving us a chance at a good future for billions. It's long been a thing of science fiction, but when we see how many other industries it would make obsolete, we need to make it. Energy bills that would be an hours work at minimum wage, yeah, we can get behind that. Sustainable living isn't 'Luddite,' it's smart.
The story of fatherhood is not about the last page, it is about every paragraph and word. It is about how the emotions of love and protection, of fun and cherishing the moments are conveyed to one another. If you do that, if you take care of the words, the book will take care of itself.
The PIE party leader wants everyone to get a healthy slice of pie. To get your pie you hop on the nationalised high spec transportation system near you and go to the nearest pie place. Here, all citizens can eat free pie. At PIE we put our resources into building sustainable planet friendly national structures that promote community welfare rather than atomisation and competition. We take funding from roads and private cars and put them into trains and buses! All the other parties will kill the planet... yes... all of them. So, a house and some pie, who could ask for more? This coming election, vote PIE and show them that sustainability is pie in the stomach, not pie in the sky.
"When we make daily choices that are emotionally indifferent, the sort that the money-nexus makes faux-virtues of, we build our capacity for emotional indifference at the direct expense of our capacity for empathy, and thus the conflict between money and love is laid bare."
In rich Italian coffee-brown, the backpack sat snug upon my shoulders.
"Claudia, tension, abuse, honeymoon, tension, abuse, honeymoon, tension... and so it goes on. If the abuse isn't physical it is often missed as domestic abuse by the victim, but it does physical harm either way. Long term side effects include a type of PTSD, immune system disregulation and mental health issues. Honey, you aren't crazy, you're a victim of long term domestic abuse and your symptoms all stem from suffering raised cortisol levels for so long. Be proud that you survived and ended the cycle... even if the isolation continued... that's on him... that's on them... you should be nothing but proud."
The coffee cup brings a sweet heat to my palms as they hug its teal clay.
"Adjective and noun associations are worthy of our consideration because by careful linkage of words such as 'black' with strong emotionally positive words (such as in 'black heavens' and 'noble black night') we can start to program subconscious bias from the brain by creating a background neurochemistry that is more positive. This keeps the prefrontal cortex more fully operational and encourages more empathy in both thoughts and behaviours. Thus society develops better through their own choices and evolves. This is part of social evolution and this kind of awareness in writers is essential."
