Via a few places, author Kameron Hurley posted "The Cold Publishing Equations: Books Sold + Marketability + Love". "I want to talk about the reality of being a debut author, because nobody actually talked to me about those numbers. What defined success? What should I expect? Was I a failure if I sold fewer than 80,000 copies? Fewer than 20,000? I know selling 100 is bad, but outside that….?"

This looks really neat (and no more bizarre than other awesome colors, so WTF, headline?): "Bizarre new hair trend sees rainbow stripes used to give locks an 'oil slick' look". Like, neat enough that I'm actually tempted to do it to my hair, since it apparently lasts a fairly long time (which red dye does not) and requires less bleach than most funky colors on darker hair. (My natural hair color is a medium brown, and I've never had it colored professionally.) I reposted this on Facebook and tagged my stylist and her new salon, and she thinks they can do it. *_* Not that I'm committed on the basis of that, but I'm very, very tempted.
