So the time’s about here for me to start on the rewrite of Lesana. A couple of hours ago, I was dreading it. There was just so much to be done to the book. But you know what? I just got finished reading pieces of it as I was organizing my notes for the rewrite, and I discovered something: I’m excited. The thing is, I like the book. Even with all the flaws it has right now, I can still see what it’s capable of becoming, and I’m sure I can make a book I’m happy with out of it. […]
My wife suggested that I post my Masters Thesis to my website, and since it’s catch-all Friday, I figured why not. So for all of you out there who have always wondered why you’ve never watched a really good Huckleberry Finn adaptation–or those of you who just want to know more about the theory behind adaptation–this is your lucky day.

That pretty much sucks. Add to that the fact that the current book I’m workshopping needs some major help, and I’m feeling rather blue. There’s just so much going on right now.

Gasp! I just realized that I didn’t post anything yesterday. I fail as a blogger. Oh well–give me a second to get over it. All better now. It’s not like all that much happened yesterday, anyway. I mean, I watched Rush Hour 2 in the evening–how exciting of a day could it have been? I just posted another paper I wrote back in college, this one about the military tactics used by the First Crusaders to capture Jerusalem. If you’re looking for something basic (it was written by Freshman-Me, after all), and are interested in military history, by all means,
