How to keep having great ideas and survive in the creative business

Now Try Something Weirder

Eight children survived the harvest of Russet Creek. Just eight. Russet Creek was a small town. Its population was about five thousand people. Of that five thousand, probably a thousand or so of them were children. Of that thousand or so, eight survived. All of the rest were taken in one night. It was a glorious victory for the boogeymen. Or so they thought. For as long as there have been children, there have been boogeymen to take them. Sometimes they eat the children. Sometimes they carry them away to some horrible, unknown place, and the children are never heard from again. Sometimes-more often that you would like to think-they are hiding in the closet because the child's parents let them in. For as long as there have been boogeymen, there have been those who fought against them; humans, animals, fantastical creatures; armed with toys, and magic, and stories. The war between the Kinderguard and the boogeymen is the oldest struggle in the history of the human race. After the boogeymen invade their town, five eleven year olds, two teenagers, and one infant will find themselves at the center of this great conflict. BUMP IN THE NIGHT is a story for very brave children who are wise enough to know that the thing under the bed is real, and for adults who are not too grown up to understand that stories are what save us from the monsters.

Slippery Words explores how language subtly shapes societal decline by influencing our actions and perspectives. It examines how seemingly small changes in terminology can create ""slippery slopes,"" leading to negative outcomes in areas from public policy to individual ethics. The book argues that recognizing the potential for linguistic manipulation is key to reversing these trends. The book delves into three core areas: the manipulation of language in political discourse, the erosion of ethical standards, and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned interventions. For example, the strategic framing of issues by political actors can significantly sway public opinion. Using case studies and historical examples, Slippery Words offers critical analysis of how rhetoric and propaganda impact our world. The book progresses systematically, first introducing the concept of slippery slope arguments, then dedicating sections to each of the core topics. By the conclusion, readers are equipped with strategies for identifying and mitigating the effects of manipulative language in their own lives and communities. This approach blends rhetorical analysis, social scientific research, and historical context to empower readers to think critically and make responsible decisions.

A dating life that leads to a life-giving, lifelong marriage doesn''t happen by accident. You need to know what you''re doing. That''s why I wrote this book to empower you to: *Discern God''s will for your dating life. *Avoid heartbreak, rejection, and regret. *Date with confidence and clarity. *Win the war over sexual temptation. *Let your marriage hopes to inspire your dating life. Is This Book for You? I''ll never forget when I was in my early 20s and my mom gave me a marriage book for Christmas. Not a dating book, like this one, but a marriage book. And I didn''t even have a girlfriend! "I get it, mom. You want grandkids." Regardless, I read it over Christmas vacation, and within thirty days I was dating the woman I eventually married. And I''m really glad I did. (Both read that book and married that girl!) But enough about me. How about you? Would you like to avoid heartbreak, rejection, and regret? Or beyond avoiding bad things, would you like to truly succeed in your dating life? And by "succeed," I don''t just mean eventually get married, but do so with great memories to look back on and an amazing future to look forward to? If you just answered that last question with a "Heck yeah," then this is the book for you. Let''s face it. Relationships are hard. And a dating relationship? It''s like a long division problem you have to solve by hand. One wrong calculation and you''re not coming up with the right answer. And discerning where you went wrong can be like trying to find a needle in a love shack ... or love in a haystack ... or whatever mixed metaphor you want to use. Should You Read This Book NOW? In hindsight, I realize I was given an incredible opportunity that one Christmas. That was the moment I began preparing for the most important earthly relationship in my entire life. And since I read that book at a time when I didn''t have love chemicals flooding my brain (inhibiting clear thinking), and I didn''t have a relationship to defend (persuading me to ignore wise counsel), I actually internalized much of what that book had to offer. I drank in the wisdom as if I somehow knew it might come in handy. And it did! Which is why after ten years of marriage, I sensed God asking me to go back and reread that book with the goal of figuring out how to trick other people into doing what my mom tricked me into doing. That led to the founding of our organization, Future Marriage University (FMU), and me writing this book for you. Will you begin dating the person you''ll end up marrying within thirty days of reading this book? Or are you already dating them? Or maybe you''ve met them, but haven''t begun dating? Perhaps they''re a friend you''ve known for years but have never seen in "that way." Or on the other hand, you may very much see them in "that way," but you''ve been friend-zoned. For now. I don''t know those answers. What I do know is that I''m praying for the day when ten years after your wedding you remember this book, and you praise God you read it now. The Purpose of This Book So, what''s your dating story? Are you waiting for your dating life to begin? Are you enjoying the time of your dating life? Are you dating, but hating it? Or have you sworn off dating altogether? Wherever you are in your journey, I''d like to empower you to grow spiritually and date wisely so you can marry well. And don''t be frightened by the "M-word." Marriage! Fear not! Unlike the book my mom gave me, this is a dating book, not a marriage book. However, as with any successful endeavor, you have to begin with the end in mind. The ultimate goal, if you will. So what do you want to be the ultimate goal of your dating life? How about this ultimate goal: a life-giving, lifelong marriage that blesses the world as much as it blesses the two of you. If that''s a mission you can accept and get excited about, then you want to keep reading!

Water Supply

From the monk who sets himself on fire in a crowded intersection of Saigon (“the familiar corded tendons of his hands, become / a bracken of ashes, a carbon twine of burnt”), to the salmon run in British Columbia (“The salmon word / for home is glacierdust and once-tall trees unlimbed, / a taste, no matter where, they know”), Johnson writes of topics varied and eclectic, unified by a focus on moments both declining and revenant. Startling and haunting, the poems delve into the ways in which these moments are transformative, beautiful and unexpected. Being eaten by a lion is a gift rather than a loss, an opportunity for grace: “Instead, focus on your life, / its crimson liquor he grows drunk on. / Notice the way the red highlights his face, / how the snub nose is softened, the lips made / fuller; notice his deft musculature, his rapture.” Lyrical and rich with visceral imagery, How to Be Eaten by a Lion lingers, exploring the world with an eye for detail and an ear for music.
