News

A controversial law in California regulates sale of autographed items, with the intention of reducing trafficking in counterfeits. (text of bill)  It wasn’t intended to affect stores selling books autographed by the authors, but they need to pay attention to what comes out of the dispute and lawsuits.

Victories

Dylan rewrote seven chapters and added a new one for Second Hand Dresses. He got a story commission.

Education

The Guide to Grammar and Style, by Jack Lynch at Rutgers, offers advice on a wide variety of topics.  His disregard for absolute rules is interesting.

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.  ~Katharine Hepburn

It’s not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them. ~T.S. Eliot
