E.L. Wagner's Umbral Musings: August 2015
http://doggedlywriting.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
EL Wagner's Umbral Musings. Saturday, August 1, 2015. The Delicate Issue of Rape in Fantasy. If the title of this post isn't a warning, I'm talking about a very unpleasant topic today, one that can be a trigger for some people. Rape is an unfortunate and disturbing facet of human behavior. In a world where a significant percentage of women (and a number of men too) have been subjected to one form of sexual assault or another, it makes sense that it would make its way into fiction, including fantasy.

E.L. Wagner's Umbral Musings: June 2015
http://doggedlywriting.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
EL Wagner's Umbral Musings. Monday, June 29, 2015. Why Are the Little Differences So Hard to Imagine in Fantasy? A fellow writer recently asked (on an online fantasy site) how people had sex in the olden days, when most people lived in one room cottages or huts. Surely the presence of a couple's children, in the same room, or perhaps even the same bed, would have put a damper on things, he reasoned. Nowadays, many people think it's immodest, or even potentially harmful, for kids to overhear, let alone se...

E.L. Wagner's Umbral Musings: That's Not For You, Flick!
http://doggedlywriting.blogspot.com/2015/06/thats-not-for-you-flick.html
EL Wagner's Umbral Musings. Monday, June 1, 2015. That's Not For You, Flick! I haven't blogged for a bit, and one of the reasons is that this is actually my 100th entry, and I was hoping I would have something marvelously significant or insightful to say. But I really don't. Just as we were celebrating the end of classes a week and a half ago, we had a bit of a medical scare with Flick, the youngest (and greediest) of our three dogs. The remains of the block Flick was eating. 3 Cholecalciferol, which is ...

E.L. Wagner's Umbral Musings: An Article on The Lost Legacy of Many Female Fantasy Writers
http://doggedlywriting.blogspot.com/2015/06/this-is-fantastic-article-on-topic-ive.html
EL Wagner's Umbral Musings. Saturday, June 20, 2015. An Article on The Lost Legacy of Many Female Fantasy Writers. This is a fantastic article on a topic I've been trying to get my head around for a while- the way great female fantasy and SF writers seem to fall off the cultural radar faster and more completely than male ones. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I'll post a link to the article here:. Fantasy, Female Writers, and the Politics of Influence by Tansy Rayner Roberts. Women in SF and Fantasy.

E.L. Wagner's Umbral Musings: September 2014
http://doggedlywriting.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
EL Wagner's Umbral Musings. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Sighs, Nods, and Shrugs: Those annoying Little (Literary) Tics. I teach college biology. One of the many perks of my job is that it provides me ample opportunities to observe human behavior in all its glorious, and not so glorious, variety. Needless to say, it's a noticeable mannerism. It's something that calls attention to itself. And while everyone sighs from time to time, some people do it more (and do it more loudly) than others. How many time...
