the achilles scene in the odyssey is haunting tbh. the whole iliad being about men dying to have honor and glory to be remembered after death and achilles is just, just getting to the point where he believes maybe there’s more to life than dying and maybe he doesn’t want to lose his life in this pointless war and then him getting pulled into it anyway, dying the homeric hero he never wanted to be, then meeting odysseus in the underworld and telling him a slave’s lot would be better than his own because at least he would be alive

if you’re in the EPIC community you’ve seen this already but I’m arranging WYFILWMA by ear (just for fun and bc Jorge is a genius) and here’s my arrangement of Odysseus’s part lmao

if you want to play my arrangement, go ahead! If you end up posting it or something, just drop my user or a link to my post, but honestly I couldn’t care less who plays my arrangement - I’m doing this for fun! All rights go to Jorge Rivera-Herrans, and I have no clue if my arrangement is actually right but who am I to stop yall from trying 😅

next step for me is to arrange Penelope’s part (I’m going to play it on violin but the notes will literally work for any instrument that has the range) and then after that I have to actually learn how to play it without messing up 😭

other notes: yes, I can read regular music, it’s just easier for me to read and write the letter notes; on a similar note, that’s why it’s highlighted (sorry if it’s harder for you guys but it’s better for me 😂)

(Final product/performance will be on my music blog @medoingrandommusicstuff)

I cannot emphasize enough how much you need to read thoroughly through the terms of any publication before you send your writing to them. It is mandatory that you know and understand what rights you’re giving away when you’re trying to get published.

Just the other day I was emailed by a relatively new indie journal looking for writers. They made it very clear that they did not pay writers for their work, so I figured I’d probably be passing, but I took a look at their Copyright policy out of curiosity and it was a nightmare. They wanted “non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license and right to use, display, reproduce, distribute, and publish the Work on the internet and on or in any medium” (that’s copy and pasted btw) and that was the first of 10 sections on their Copyright agreement page. Yikes. That’s exactly the type of publishing nightmare you don’t want to be trapped in. 

Most journals will ask for “First North American Rights” or a variation on “First Rights” which operate under the assumption that all right revert back to you and they only have the right to be the first publishers of the work. That is what you need to be looking for because you do want to retain all the rights to your work. 

You want all rights to revert back to you upon publication in case you, say, want to publish it again in the future or use it for a bookmark or post it on your blog, or anything else you might want to do with the writing you worked hard on. Any time a publisher wants more than that, be very suspicious. Anyone who wants to own your work forever and be able to do whatever they want with it without your permission is not to be trusted. Anyone who wants all that and wants you to sign away your right to ever be paid for your work is running a scam.

Protect your writing. It’s not just your intellectual property, it’s also your baby. You worked hard on it. You need to do the extra research to protect yourself so that a scammer (or even a well meaning start up) doesn’t steal you work right from under you nose and make money off of it.

Pssst if you want really funky drawing references, especially intimate ones, statues and sculptures are really good for those
