Liam James was born upon Manderley, the country estate, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-seven. The seventh child -first of the brood to be of male persuasion- he struggled immensely in academics but found a penchant for poetry, penning his 1,234th Petrarchan Sonnet by the age of seven. According to classmates, he was often truculent with professors -his favorite contention being he invented the exclamation mark, and as such, he should have free rein to use them wherever he wanted! He later became a Rhodes scholar, but attended Oxford only for five months, always donned in a pink suit.

Although Abe North has advocated a "group theory" regarding James’ authorship with one Dr. Diver as the "master mind”, there is no eviden

Silly Liam sequels Virginia Woolf's Orlando

I was thinking of Virginia Woolf's immortal protagonist, Orlando, and suddenly and very sadly realized, the last we hear of her immortal protagonist, she's in the 1920's. Well, I commenced to rolling up my sleeves and writing a sequel as it were. Indeed, I attempted to continue to foster that humor by emulating the same sort of rambling and inconsistent narration I came to know and love. Just as O Read more of this blog post »

Liam’s Recent Updates

Liam James is on page 94 of 184 of A Christmas Carol: "...he sometimes came out with his guess quite loud, and very often guessed quite right, too; for the sharpest needle, best Whitechapel, warranted not to cut in the eye, was not sharper than Scrooge; blunt as he took it in his head to be." Who knew Scrooge had low self-esteem.

Liam James is on page 93 of 184 of A Christmas Carol: But how hot of a blind man's buff game is this! "She often cried out that it wasn’t fair; and it really was not. But when at last, he caught her; when, in spite of all her silken rustlings, and her rapid flutterings past him, he got her into a corner whence there was no escape; then his conduct was the most execrable. For his pretending not to know her; his pretending
that it was necessary to touch her head-dress..."

I remember enjoying it more the first time to be honest. I think perhaps it's really the shock value, the absurdity that is its essence, and once you've uncovered that, well, maybe there's not much else there. I recall reading a blurb about Fitzgeral ...more

the days are getting colder and i have finally accepted it’s fall. school has started up again and my activity on grs has lessen. even so seeing everyones reviews, progress, and comments have made my days so much warmer. i swear time has been slipping past me it’s already september!

anyways, I just wanted to wish you all a happy new month! i hope despite everyone's busy schedule we are all finding time to wind down, maybe pick up a book or take a long-deserved nap. let's make september a time of rejuvenation and self-preparation. holidays are just around the corner and i know once i get caught up in the festive storm i lose myself lol!

i'm going on a small hiatus just so i can adjust to school a little more but until that ends...drink your fall flavored drinks, watch scary movies, and try something new for a change.
