@Loch Nessie: Thanks!

@Michael: Oh, there are a few out there, for sure. (Parks & Rec has plenty of awesome women, for example.) But way too often you’ll run into situations like the Avengers posters, where I’m sure there are other women in the movie, but the team is advertised as five guys and one woman.

Love the article. In response to footnote 4, I agree with your general point but there are exceptions. The two that spring to mind immediately are Buffy/Angel (Buffy, Faith, Cordelia, Willow, Fred and Anya are all very different and very awesome) and Firefly (same goes for Kaylee, River, Inara, and Zoe). Other franchises could learn from these examples.

Hi Becky!
I agree about the Big Sur Writer’s Workshop! So much gained in so little time. The faculty was amazing and real. Still feel Jen’s face wide-eyed and intense, pushing us to be our best. Our critique group’s diversity and honesty gave me a new perspective.
I enjoyed your work and quirky personality.
Thank you!
Val

I stop regularly reading blogs — or even bother to check Google Reader — for two plus months and that seems to be the cue for people to actually start blogging and/or move. I haven’t yet caught the bug, but I am quite astonished that my blog has stayed where it is for as long as it has. I think it might be a record.
