Today has gone well so far. Got a very encourageing email from my brother, Tom. (Thanks Bro) and had a short class today in Latin. Lectio Septum.(www.learnlatinonlinefree.com) Makes me feel like I am learning and accomplishing something that I always wanted to learn. I know it is not for college credit, but It is free. much of my life has been self taught: guitar, mandolin, teaching, math, science, bible, public speaking, singing, choir directing, writing, and now latin to mention some of the things I've done on my own. In the past, a self-made man was highly regarded. today you have to have the degrees to prove it. (though a degree can be easily given when no learning actually happened)Anyway, back to the book...
Tom will take chapter three through the ringer again with another rewrite. Since it is off my back for now, I will turn my focus onto what happens after chapter nine. Much of that is already written, just needs to be cleaned up and given fancy garments to wear. We still have to fix the problem we have created in chapter where Caradoc comes home, but I think getting back to the creative part of the writting will be good for me. Perfection is a terrbly big speed bump.

There are 8 posts on the page at a time. You can scroll down to the one that is "chapter one for beginners to the site" and read up from there. All "older" writting is listed as "old stuff." These are writtings that have changed over time or may not even be in the book. I left them on the blog to show how things change in the process. Enjoy, and check us out on facebook. --Jon
