Back to work on it today after a busy couple of weeks with lots of editing for my website and classes.<BR/><BR/>Megan, I am falling behind my schedule again but hope to catch up now. Classes are finished this week and I have the new stories ready to post on my travel web site so I can focus more completely on Shadow.<BR/><BR/>Watch for a new blog update soon.Wynn Bextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606284153866696343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10059313.post-91150368620414120302008-03-09T06:08:00.000-07:002008-03-09T06:08:00.000-07:00I know how you feel.

I thought I'd finish my novel by the end of 2007 but now I'm hoping to get it done by the beginning of summer.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507037483019197630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10059313.post-56302193031088636682008-03-09T05:31:00.000-07:002008-03-09T05:31:00.000-07:00Wouldn't attempt re-creating the times without the...Wouldn't attempt re-creating the times without the only constant literary source for the events at hand.<BR/><BR/>But that's just me.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it explains my lethargic interest in historical fiction for the great part. <BR/><BR/>Ceased buying Pressfield's stuff after "Tides of War". Although the bloke attempted too great a sweep (the Peloponnesian War), he failed (in my view) to realise his major character: Alkibiades. This was the greatest self-serving, aggrandising and duplicitous bastard God ever put breath into.Father Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730545750736977600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10059313.post-53715088678803018702008-03-04T21:28:00.000-08:002008-03-04T21:28:00.000-08:00Well yes, thanks.

So it's NOT just me! I was feeling downright sorry for myself for a time.
