A couple of weeks prior, I had decided to retire from writing. Writing, as everyone in NINC knows, is hard on so many levels, and it doesn’t get any easier. I had a wonderful—albeit stressful—career in traditional publishing and an exciting career with indie publishing. That second career, however, was exhausting. The combination of the two drained me creatively—or at least drained my urge to write. Before I sold my first novel in 1999, I was a professional artist. I stepped away from the art world completely to focus on my writing career. In recent years, the urge to paint returned and gradually became greater than the urge to write. So that’s what I decided I was going to do: step away from the computer and return to the easel. Then I got that call about being president. A lot of people would say (and have said) I was crazy to say yes. But I did—because I love NINC. I never would have achieved the success I enjoyed without the generous sharing of knowledge or the friendships I made thanks to this organization. Before I went off, to paint and to enjoy spending time with family and friends, I wanted to give back. These last two years have been a labor of love for me, and the fact this will be my final column as president is bittersweet. I realized a funny thing happened during my board tenure. During the last two conferences, I sat through every single presentation I could on craft and creativity. I guess there was a tiny part of me that wasn’t as willing to walk away as I thought. During this last conference, while soaking up every word on the actual writing side of this business, that little spark became a tiny flame. After I turn over the reins to the excellent incoming board, I’m going to dust off the rough draft I was working on a few years ago and see what happens. This time, however, I just want to lose myself in writing the story, giving no thoughts to packaging, marketing, or money. I became a writer because I love telling stories. It was the non-writing part of this business that put my muse in a coma. In the New Year, I want to see if I can recapture the NINK NEWSLETTER | DECEMBER 2018 | 2 joy of telling a story. So, as I say goodbye as your president, I also wanted to say thank you for always giving me more than I can ever give back. Thank you for being there and for inspiring me, and for your friendships and your sage advice. Wish me luck on finding my joy, Julie Ortolon NINC Member Benefits Don’t forget to sign up for the email loop, critique/brainstorming group, and the members- only Facebook group if you haven’t already.

NINK NEWSLETTER | DECEMBER 2018 | 3 Unearthing Hidden Clues About Your Creativity Part One By Denise A. Agnew Creativity coaching is sometimes like being a detective, and it can take a few sessions to unearth the hidden clues that reveal to the coach and the client the truth about what is causing the block. Every client presents a different set of challenges for a creativity coach because everyone is unique. In this article, I’ll present questions you can use to delve more deeply into the reasons you may encounter writer’s block. In upcoming articles, I will address each question and how to analyze your answers. Writers sometimes fall back on common beliefs about why they can’t write. Frequent reasons cited for not writing include the following: • Their day job gets in the way. • The husband or wife doesn’t approve of their writing. • Their kids occupy their spare time. Outside influences can complicate a writer’s life. Yet it’s vital for a writer to ask themselves a series of questions if they wish to understand what is stopping them from writing. Ask Yourself These Essential Questions For this next step, grab paper and pen and settle in with your favorite drink. Answer these questions completely. Take your time and go deep. These questions provide the opportunity to understand the truth behind your blocks, so be completely honest with your feelings. No one will see these answers but you. • What do you say to yourself about your writing? Are you frequently critical or mostly supportive? Write down what you’re saying. Don’t hide from anything that is negative or positive. List it all. NINK NEWSLETTER | DECEMBER 2018 | 4 • Is frustration making you say bad things about your writing ability? List your frustrations even if they seem petty to you. • Do you compare yourself to other writers? When you do compare, what do you say to yourself? • Is there a burning topic/genre you long to write but you have fears around it? What are those fears? Again, go deep. Don’t hold back. List them all, even the ones that feel/ sound over the top. • Who do you think your audience is? Does your audience have to approve in order for you to write? Does your audience control what you write? Why? • Are you worried about bad reviews that might never happen? Do you give every bad review more credit than it deserves? What do you believe a bad review says about your writing? • What are your writing goals? • Are you afraid to examine your own fears and use them in your writing? • Are you afraid to touch on and explore deeper/controversial topics? • Do you let people (strangers or not) shame you into not writing? • Do you think writing/creating is essential to your well-being? • Do you use perfectionism as an excuse to never finish a book? Keep all of these questions. Beginning with the January 2019 issue of Nink, each Creativity Column will analyze one or two questions on the list above and how your answers can provide rich insight into your writing world. ________________________ Denise A.

NINK NEWSLETTER | DECEMBER 2018 | 5 The Mad Scribbler The art & the artist By Laura Resnick “It is not a fragrant world.” —Raymond Chandler “History is replete with tales of artists behaving badly,” culture journalist Maria Puente reminded readers in a USA Today article. “Composer Richard Wagner was an anti-Semite. Novelist Charles Dickens trashed his wife and secretly shacked up with a teen actress. Painter Michelangelo Caravaggio was a murderer. And yet, Wagner's operas are still heard (even in Israel). Great Expectations is still read in high schools across the land. Most art museums would kill to get a Caravaggio.” Her 2014 article was about Woody Allen, whose latest film was being celebrated as a triumph, while at the same time there was renewed focus on the allegation by his estranged daughter, Dylan Farrow, that Allen molested her as a child. Allen denies the allegation. Woody Allen’s personal life has, of course, been the subject of controversy for years.

  • Formal Aspects of Mobile Code Security
    FORMAL ASPECTS OF MOBILE CODE SECURITY RICHARD DREWS DEAN ADISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RECOMMENDED FOR ACCEPTANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE JANUARY 1999 c Copyright by Richard Drews Dean, 1998. All Rights Reserved Abstract We believe that formal methods of all kinds are critical to mobile code security, as one route to gaining the assurance level necessary for running potentially hos- tile code on a routine basis. We begin by examining Java, and understanding the weaknesses in its architecture, on both design and implementation levels. Iden- tifying dynamic linking as a key problem, we produce a formal model of linking, and prove desirable properties about our model. This investigation leads to a deep understanding of the underlying problem. Finally, we turn our attention to crypto- graphic hash functions, and their analysis with binary decision diagrams (BDDs). We show that three commonly used hash functions (MD4, MD5, and SHA-1) do not offer ideal strength against second preimages. The ability of a cryptographic hash function to resist the finding of second preimages is critical for its use in digi- tal signature schemes: a second preimage enables the forgery of digital signatures, which would undermine confidence in digitally signed mobile code. Our results show that modern theorem provers and BDD-based reasoning tools are effective for reasoning about some of the key problems facing mobile code security today. iii Acknowledgments My advisor, Andrew Appel, offered sure guidance through what turned out to be an exceptionally smooth journey through graduate school.

July/August 2010 Print | Close Closing the Digital Frontier THE ERA OF THE WEB BROWSER’S DOMINANCE IS COMING TO A CLOSE. AND THE INTERNET’S FOUNDING IDEOLOGY—THAT INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE, AND THAT ATTEMPTS TO CONSTRAIN IT ARE NOT ONLY HOPELESS BUT IMMORAL— SUDDENLY SEEMS NAIVE AND STALE IN THE NEW AGE OF APPS, SMART PHONES, AND PRICING PLANS. WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE MEDIA—AND OF THE WEB ITSELF? By Michael Hirschorn IMAGE CREDIT: JASON SCHNEIDER AS CHRIS ANDERSON pointed out in a moment of non-hyperbole in his book Free, the phrase Information wants to be free was never meant to be the rallying cry it turned into. It was first uttered by Stewart Brand at a hacker conference in 1984, and it came with a significant disclaimer: that information also wants to be expensive, because it can be so important (see “Information Wants to Be Paid For,” in this issue). With the long tail of Brand’s dictum chopped off, the phrase Information wants to be free—dissected, debated, reconstituted as a global democratic rallying cry against monsters of the political, business, and media elites—became perhaps the most powerful meme of the past quarter century; so powerful, in fact, that multibillion-dollar corporations destroyed their own businesses at its altar. 1 of 5 6/9/10 1:19 PM The Atlantic :: Magazine :: Closing the Digital Frontier http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2010/07/closing-the..

  • Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers
    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship 1-2007 Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Science and Technology Law Commons Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale 60 Vand. L. Rev. 135 (2007) Environmental laws are designed to reduce negative externalities (such as pollution) that harm the natural world. Copyright law should adjust the rights of content creators in order to compensate for the ways they reduce the usefulness of the information environment as a whole. Every new work created contributes to the store of expression, but also makes it more difficult to find whatever work one wants. "Search costs" have been well- documented in information economics and addressed by trademark law. Copyright law should take information overload externalities like search costs into account in its treatment of alleged copyright infringers whose work merely attempts to index, organize, categorize, or review works by providing small samples of them. These categorizers are not "'free riding" off the labor of copyright holders. Rather, they are creating the navigational tools and filters that help consumers make sense of the ocean of expression copyright holders have created. The new scholarship of cultural environmentalism lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the costs, as well as the benefits, of copyrighted expression. Any expression that signals something to one who wants exposure to it may constitute noise to thousands of others. By modeling information overload as an externality imposed by copyrighted works generally, this article attempts to provide a new economic justification for more favorable legal treatment of categorizers, indexers, and reviewers.
