(Mon05) I voted for Barack Obama because nothing is more important to me than the preservation and expansion of the rights of my daughter. While I don’t believe that any president can fix the economy or ensure the safety of 285 diplomatic facilities 24 x 7 x 365, I do believe that a president can change the composition of the Supreme Court and reduce the rights of my daughter.
 
My father was a state senator in Hawaii, and I saw him stand up for what he believed in—including when it cost him his reelection. I’m now fifty-eight years old, and it’s time to follow his most -xcellent example.

I’m thankful that I live in a country where people can disagree on politics but still come together when it matters. At the very least we can agree to disagree. No matter who you support, cast your vote, and let's get to work because we have lots to do.

Pixar explains the 22 rules for great storytelling

If anyone should know, it's Pixar. Here are three:

1. You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.

2. You gotta keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun to do as a writer. They can be very different.

3. Trying for theme is important, but you won’t see what the story is actually about til you’re at the end of it. Now rewrite.
