Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, June 09, 2015
Thanks, but I already have a “real job.”
"Have you tried [marketing, PR, or any other profession]?"

Have you tried astrophysics? Museum management? Professional snowboarding? Plenty of freelance writers have considered or tried out other jobs; choosing this one wasn't an accident.

"Don't you get lonely?"
Sure. I'm human. But there are plenty of ways to meet people besides working in an office with them. And one perk to freelancing is that the only people I have to see on a daily basis are the ones I consciously choose to have in my life, not the ones who just happen to sit in the next cubicle over.

"What do you do with all your free time?"
Do you mean the free time I have when I'm not working on something for one of the sixteen publications I write for?
"Want to run this errand for me?"
My work schedule may be flexible, but contrary to popular belief, I'm actually not just sitting on my couch all day, twiddling my thumbs while I wait for you to let me walk your dog!

Because sometimes it’s hard to explain or understand on your own.

A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki
Ozeki tackles depression from two angles — through the protagonist, 16-year-old Nao, who falls into a suicidal depression after moving back to Tokyo; and through Nao's father, who falls into a deeper depression after losing his job.
After Birth by Elisa Albert
Albert never explicitly names postpartum depression in her 2015 novel on a woman in the first year of motherhood, but Ari's resentment over her experience of childbirth, alienation from the rest of the world, and complicated feelings about her son ring true to the dark and confusing period that often comes, well, after birth.

23 Differences Between "The Princess Diaries" Books And Movies
Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, June 09, 2015
The books took place in New York, not San Francisco.
Mia's father is not dead.
THIS IS HUGE. He’s alive, and that makes for a lot of strange conflict between the films and books. Also, in the movies, they make him seem like he was such a gem in life, but in the books, he’s like 68% a dick. Still worth a part in the movie.
Walt Disney Pictures
Mia ends up with Michael, NOT CHRIS PINE OR WHATEVER.
THIS WAS SO WRONG. Is it nice to see Chris Pine in a movie? Yes. But Mia and Michael are soulmates, and they don’t end up “just being friends.” They belong together, people.
Walt Disney Pictures
In the books, it's "Grandmere," not "Grandma."
"Grandmere" is quite harsh and judgmental, not reminiscent of Julie Andrews. Cabot didn’t make the crack at the Disney adaptation in her book for nothing.
Walt Disney Pictures
Mean girl Lana's last name is Weinberger, *not* Thomas.
IRL, the ~popular girl~ wouldn’t have a nice-sounding name that doesn’t make you lift an eyebrow. Sigh.
