Once again, I’ve been slacking on updating here. I’ve been busy writing posts for Ricochet, which unfortunately, you need a membership to see my posts, so I may decide, each week, to post at least a couple of the articles I’ve been writing there. I’ve scoured the site for some kind of disclaimer that says that I’m not to post what I’ve written there elsewhere, but it doesn’t really say much in the way of that. I have to err on the side of caution, though; the last thing I need is to be told otherwise.

In other news, classes are winding down and I have been busy grading, grading, and grading. The students over the semester seem a lazy bunch, and some of them are only now emailing me after an essay was assigned two weeks ago claiming they were sick and were unable to do the work. A quick glance at their Facebook reveals images of them at the beach over the past two weeks – together, I might add. Guess who is not going to be getting an extension!

Books currently reading: ‘Go Set a Watchman’ by Harper Lee, ‘Diaries’ by George Orwell. ‘Collected Letters’ by George Orwell ‘V’ by Thomas Pynchon. I will be finished with ‘Go Set a Watchman’ today and will do a review for January Gray Book Reviews later. ‘Watchman’ I tend to read at night before bed. There are a few other books that I have by my nightstand that I am going to be choosing from next. Not quite sure what yet.

Books currently writing: I have taken a break from Molon Labe if only because I found myself skimming yet again. I have reignited work on ‘A Once Distant Memory’ which I wrote last October, and the story has gone from third-person perspective to first, and then to third again. The novel is about 30k in, and I should think it will only be about 70k, perhaps even shorter.

What’s everyone else working on this weekend!
