Everything I learn about Rose Wilder Lane makes me more and more aware that she was a hilariously outrageous person who needs a movie made about her immediately.
After leaving Missouri, she moves to California and marries a real-estate guy who once tried to get her to help him con the railroad.
She gets hired at a San Francisco newspaper known for its yellow journalism, where she does things like writing a series of columns featuring the "real-life stories of a police detective" who, in real life, was a high-end jewel thief.
Her first book is a first-person "autobiography" of Charlie Chaplin that she (after a few interviews with Chaplin) completely made up, and that Charlie Chaplin immediately threatened to sue her publisher for.
Her second book is a biography of Jack London, which his wife only reluctantly allowed her to write because Rose presented herself as "someone who had never written for the newspapers before and needs a chance to break into the magazines." This book was also almost entirely fictional, and her publisher also almost got sued over it.
Third biography is the first-ever biography of Herbert Hoover, also a heavily-fictionalized account. (Doesn't seem to have been sued for this one. Steps in the right direction!)
Traveled as a reporter through Europe (to places like Albania and Poland) post-WWI. (If we want to talk about legal things that she did).
Wrote a book based on Laura's late-childhood pioneer experiences while Laura was writing the early books of the Little House series, and did not tell Laura about it. (Laura was ticked off).
Kept trying to insert a story into Laura's memoirs (and Little House on the Prairie) casting Pa as a member of a posse that hunted down the infamous (and never-caught) serial-killing Bender family (despite the fact that this was historically impossible). (It got to the point that Laura herself told this story to the public as an example of "a true story I couldn't out in my children's book." Despite the fact, I say again, that this was historically impossible).
During WWII, endured a minor incident (it involved one cop coming to her house) where the FBI investigated her as a potential communist based on a postcard she sent that was critical of the government. Turned this into a short story that presented herself as the righteously-outraged American citizen fighting against an oppressive government, and used this to whip up a nationwide media campaign against J. Edgar Hoover for spying on American citizens.
Flew to Vietnam as a war reporter when she was in her seventies.

Lois: I know that I ran a verbal marathon last night and then I fell asleep, but I promise. Tonight is about the two of us.
Clark: I waited for you to get ready for three hours. If it means being with you, I can wait forever.
Lois: Forever's a long time.
Clark saying this line really make me feel million emotions 😭😭💞💞🌸✨

Happy October! 🎃
I’m posting two parts of “Escape from Gallow Lane,” a Hollow Grove story, today in celebration! They’re labeled 2 & 3 but they can be read in either order.
After being brought to the station, Mariela waits out the interrogation to clear the name of herself and her co-conspirator. She’ll likely have to wait a little longer.
Emery is an upstanding citizen. Or at least what he wants you to believe.

About the State of the World
All I’ve ever wanted is to keep the words flowing through my fingertips. To engineer worlds, Captivating and spellbinding. But just open the window and look at ours outside: It’s burning.
The road beside the house is blocked off in the night Strobing red and blue in warning As the rain pummels potholes into the asphalt, Transforming roads into rivers.
I am told: it isn’t suppose to be like this here. I am told: this is a once in a lifetime Storm. Fire. Natural. Disaster. It’s snowing in LA, In Texas. The Mediterranean is on fire.
I don’t know, how can I create? How should my words be heard over the screams of thousands Dying, in this state of the world?
-Lane Aconite,

We don’t talk enough about how Lois Lane nearly dying not once, not twice but three whole times in Man of Steel basically gave Clark permanent trauma 😂

There’s something more than magical in the Ocean At The End Of The Lane. There are feelings, and these feelings are so similar to yours that you may think the whole story is about you. And there are memories of childhood, old days of being young, foolish, but sometimes wiser than the adults, and much more creative, i would say. There’s also similar warmth and comfort we all found somewhere, and which we all seek now. These memories are buried deep down in your heart and they’re awakening as you travel with this seven-year-old narrator, who is in an endless circle of forgetting and remembering things, and who, in fact, is you.
