WritingI'm about one-third through my first heavy edit of the novel. This run-through is to a) make sure it's detailed and excurciatingly historically accurate (the novel takes place over 114 years and in three cities), and b) to make sure it's internally consistent ( Read more... )

OK forget Heather O'Neill, you make me feel like Phoebe in that episode of Friends where she heard Ross play the synthesizer. I'll explain later.

Heh. I am glad I've got a degree -- and reading the work of other authors has helped me, for my own writing.

May Nietzsche wasn't looking into the Abyss. Maybe he was staring at a cat.

It puts a whole different spin on the history of philosophy, I tell you.
