The unveiling of the fourth season of Arrested Development is less than a week away. It’s easy to picture the first episode starting off with a wink at the show’s long hiatus and cancellation, because that kind of self-knowing joke is what the show always did: Arrested Development was not afraid to acknowledge it was a TV series and its characters were actually just actors.

Pixar’s 22 Rules of Storytelling « Aerogramme Writers' Studio
These rules were originally tweeted by Emma Coats , Pixar’s Story Artist. Number 9 on the list - When you’re stuck, make a list of what wouldn’t happen next – is a great one and can apply to writers in all genres. You admire a character for trying more than for their successes. You gotta keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun to do as a writer.
I like to plan. So when I was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago, I tried my hardest to make my new world of blood counts and biopsies and chemotherapy fit into the one inch by one inch squares of my planner. I was determined that this whole cancer thing would just be like a bad chapter in a book, something you have to go through to get to the good stuff. I went through the months of chemo and radiation, antsy to get back to doing normal 17-year-old things, antsy to get back to normal. I walked out of my last day of chemo and radiation and was so excited, thinking it was all finally over.

One of the first things you learn in Google's Power Searching class is that if you know about the magic of CTRL+F then you are in the top 10 percent of all searchers. That made someone like me, who uses the word find function on the regular a little cocky about my searching skills, as I embarked on Google's free online class which teaches you how to type words into a search box. The thing I didn't realize, however is that it takes a lot of other, more obscure skills to move into the top 1 percent of savviest Googlers. If you don't know the CTRL+F skill, learn it now.

Aziz Ansari, Kal Penn, Mindy Kaling, and Danny Pudi—all have in recent years become successes in Hollywood, in the process redefining—again—the idea of what a typical American comic looks like. But these young comics aren't the first Indian-Americans to find pop culture success. Russell Peters came before them, as the first Indian comedian to make it big in the Western world. "Would it be arrogant if I consider myself the whitecap of the wave?" he asks.
