The rock star Vampire Lestat prepares for a concert in San Francisco, unaware that hundreds of vampires will be among the fans that night and that they are committed to destroying him for risking exposing them all.

I felt a lot of encouragement through the creative production and community. I participated in the Portland Zine Symposium almost every year I lived there and made a wide variety of hand made zines with drawings, writing, and comics. I’d made a few zines in high school guided by some of my more radical friends, but I didn’t really understand the possibilities until I moved to Portland, OR.

From 1765 to 1768, he studied law in Leipzig, and, while these studies ended in illness and failure, Goethe soon recovered himself and developed influential friendships with intellectuals and artists like Johann Gottfried Herder, who introduced him to Shakespeare, who catalyzed Goethe’s literary awakening. He also developed an early interest in literature, especially the Homeric epics of the Odyssey and the Iliad, the Old Testament, and the poetry of Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock.

Decades later the bond remains powerful, but so much else has changed. The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. Julie Jacobson, an outsider and possibly even a freak, had been invited in for obscure reasons, and now she sat in a corner on the unswept floor and attempted to position herself so she would appear unobtrusive yet not pathetic, which was a difficult balance.” They were only fifteen, sixteen, and they began to call themselves the name with tentative irony. “On a warm night in early July of that long-evaporated year, the Interestings gathered for the very first time. Today’s First Lines comes from THE INTERESTINGS by Meg Wolitzer. We were even active members of the Society for Creative Anachronisms!ģ. And we spent days spent exploring rivers. I was lucky in that my parents exposed me to a lot of different influences - all kinds of books and movies. Some of my early drawings are vast underground scenes full of creatures that aren't that far removed from some of the species in the Zita books. I've always been drawn to weird creatures. The Zita books feature some pretty strange creatures. I've also lately been interested in projects that separate words and pictures - illustrated novels on the one hand and wordless comics on the other.Ģ. I find things like characters' body language to be a wonderful storytelling tool. I work a lot on the structure of my stories and I get a lot of joy out of that, but my art is not just in the service of the story, it's very much a part of the storytelling. In my case, I think the two are pretty inseparable. Do you tend to think of yourself more as a writer or as an artist? Who Is The Publisher For The Report Card? The plan should be discussed with parents, teachers, and community leaders. If your class or group of friends is open to it, you can share your paragraph with them. Keep your essay short and to the point by selecting an issue you care about, such as recycling or saving an endangered animal.Īfter that, write a paragraph outlining what you intend to do after high school.

Yay for libraries and bookstores that stock queer YA titles! Especially when some young adults aren’t getting the support they need from family or friends (or they’re just afraid they won’t), books are such an essential resource. I have a soft spot for queer YA: I think it’s so incredibly important for queer teens to be able to read books that reflect themselves and for other teens to be able to read about queer teens. Having started reading Beth Goobie’s young adult novel Hello, Groin this morning (I’m liking it so far-although the title is a bit unfortunate), I decided it was time to do some talking about queer young adult books on this blog. |
