@GinnyMcQueen Human beings are responsible for those things so human beings need to lead the charge against them. By singling out one particular group you let everyone else off the hook. And until we acknowledge that we are all part of the more general problem of treating each other like crap, such behavior will always find fertile breeding ground in whatever corner of society is currently not standing in the spotlight of blame.

Of these three media types, which one takes up the biggest part of your free time: reading, television, or video games?
Oops. Missed all those recommendations yesterday due to life intrusions. Sorry for not responding in a timely way. A couple of good suggestions there.

I've had more response about my eXopod book stands than I expected, so today I released the plans. Now you can build your own, if you are so inclined. Check out the fun at http://creativityhacker.ca/2017/04/21/exopod-the-flat-pack-display-stand-for-books/
A friend asked for recommendations of "literary" SF novels. I always try to boost indie books when I can, but I'm stumped on this one. I can't think of a single book that fits the bill that is strong enough to recommend to a professor of Eng. Lit. :-(
@KatrinaM Saw your note about editing tips. I put together a resource of 51 high-frequency problems I find in indie fiction, complete with explanations and examples. If that would be of any interest, you'll find it at http://creativityhacker.ca/51-things
Happy revising!
So, what #writing problem are you wrestling with​ today?
I'm trying to figure out how a culture with all capacity/instinct for violence bred out of it reacts when attacked by outsiders and backed into a corner.
@hugo Think of it as working with an image... and then doing exactly the same thing again, 50,000 times.
