Summary

Myth Roots explores the fascinating intersection of mythology and history, seeking factual origins within legendary tales. By employing linguistic analysis, scrutiny of ancient texts, and cross-cultural comparisons, the book unveils how myths might reflect distorted versions of historical events and societal structures. For example, linguistic analysis can reveal connections between mythological names across different cultures, hinting at shared origins. Examining cultural practices, such as burial rites, further uncovers common motifs, suggesting either shared ancestry or universal human experiences.

 
The book progresses methodically, starting with core methodologies before diving into specific categories of myths. These include myths related to natural disasters, heroes and migrations, and social and religious practices. Each section analyzes linguistic patterns and corroborates accounts in ancient texts, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, to identify kernels of historical reality. This interdisciplinary approach, drawing from history, archaeology, and anthropology, offers a unique perspective on understanding the development of human thought and cultural exchange.

    There are only, in my humble opinion, two kinds of readers: Readers who love your books and readers who don’t know they love your books yet. But how do you reach those readers in the second category, no matter what kind of writer you are? 
The answer to that question is…Universal Fantasy 
Universal Fantasy is why my sales tripled when I “accidentally” wrote three books that landed in the Amazon Top 100. 
Universal Fantasy is why some authors get gobs of gushing reviews and some authors who write “way better” get crickets. 
Universal Fantasy is the answer to many of the questions you might have thought were unanswerable or simply up to luck, like… 
• Will this sell? 
• Why is that selling? 
• Why didn’t this sell? 
• Will readers like what I am writing? 
• Why do I love the TV shows/books/entertainments I do? 
• Why did I buy that thing I bought when I didn’t intend to buy it? 
BE WARNED…once known, Universal Fantasy cannot be undiscovered. Leave this book be if you’re truly satisfied with your current writing life. 
But if you’re not afraid—if you’re ready to know the secret hidden inside all bestselling stories, open this gift and find out how to use UNIVERSAL FANTASY to write and market books that SELL to ANYONE

    Defeat Writer's Block - Think...

    Every writer has a secret monster: Writer’s Block. 
Some writers have driven this monster into a corner where it lurks, the great unmentioned unmentionable waiting to pounce. Others chant the mantra “Writer’s Block Doesn’t Exist” in the vain hopes that daily repetition can avoid it. Still others thwart it with superstitious behavior—new notebooks and pens for new projects, story idea spinners to select common tropes, and an in-depth notebook that becomes thicker and thicker until the dam bursts and overwhelms the hulking monster. 
Yet something more than simple disruptions and distractions interfere with our writing, creating insurmountable walls that close around us until the monster in the labyrinth takes hold and shakes us into submission. 
M.A. Lee and The Write Focus podcast analyze the three broad categories of Writer’s Block and offer solutions to overcome this looming monster. After this examination is a survey of the advice of several successful writers. Finally, a series of chapters delves into the monster-defeating techniques used by giants such as Erle Stanley Gardner, Mary Stewart, and Phyllis A. Whitney. 
They defeated writer’s block, and so can we. 
. ~ . ~ . ~ . 
The Write Focus podcast offers weekly episodes on productivity, process, craft, and tools. TWF is for newbies and veterans who want to become writing pros. 
The multi-published M.A. Lee has written over 50 titles of fiction under three pen names and over 10 nonfiction books on the writing craft. She hosts TWF podcast.

    For F*ck's Sake - Why Swearing...

    Rebecca Roache

    Why do we love to swear so much? Why do we get so offended when others do it? 
 
 
 
In this lively and amusing exploration of the various puzzles that surround swearing, philosopher Rebecca Roache argues that what makes swearing offensive is not really the words at all: the offensiveness lies in what we don't say. The unspoken—and usually unconscious—inferences that speakers and listeners make about each other are key to explaining swearwords' capacity to shock. Swearing is unique among etiquette breaches in that it is designed to convey disrespect—swearing packs more of a punch than failing to say "please." 
 
 
 
Roache helps listeners understand how swearing works, celebrating its power as a communicative tool and source of humor while also taking a close and serious look at specific words—those directed at women and women's bodies, for example—that function in particular, complex ways. She also examines the often-hypocritical ways swearing can be punished or censored. 
 
 
 
Finally, Roache helps listeners appreciate that swearing isn't always bad. When it's not used offensively, it can foster social intimacy, can help people withstand pain, and might even help us curb our violent impulses.
