THE CEILING

Construction Zone

I've got a couple more ideas that I want to address in THE ROOF and more will come to me, but I think I need to shut it down for a while. I'm using a construction metaphor for what I want to do, because I plan to reread and edit the parts I've already written, eventually (hopefully!) making for a more firm foundation underneath THE ROOF. Ha, pardon the pun! My other concern is that I need to take time to better learn who the named characters are, learn their back stories and personalities. I know I'm mixing metaphors, but this is sewing in a way and I want to go back through the character threads and fix any missed stitches.

THE CEILING

Pardon the Interruption

Tomorrow I want to write about THE ROOF and Juneteenth but I do want to address something beforehand.

I'm sure I've written about Warren Ellis comics and stories a lot on here. Earlier just this week, I read a draft post I never published from years ago that references his work. A few days ago, several women came forward to accuse Ellis of using his position in comics to sexually exploit young women in comics and his other media circles.

I would like to stand with the survivors coming forward with their stories of abuse. I believe them. I don't really have a platform where taking a stand like this really matters, but if society were to begin to believe and support women (and men!) coming forward about abuse they have experienced or witnessed, we could build a better world. We all have our roles to play here.
