    I'm an idiot

    Here's the latest stuff I wrote for my story. Standing in his path through the shifting haze was the most striking man in the world. Any woman seeing him would have fallen instantly in love. As the man stood there, his black cape swirled around him, revealing a sword in a silver scabbard at...

    You know you're addicted to reading when...

    Even though it's hard to read by the light of a campfire you still think it's worth it. You have read by the light from your digital watch. You have read by the light from the full moon. You know how to read in the shower without getting the book wet. You take baths now instead of...

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    Anything by Patrick McManus. Pate de foi gras (a short story by Isaac Asimov) and The Hut in the Tree in the Woods are all great for making you laugh out loud.

    You know you're addicted to reading when...

    You buy your winter coat for the size of the inside pocket. When asked what your hobbies are you say "I don't have any hobbies, reading takes up too much time." You have read the Wheel of Time series more than twice. When you do a report for school you get sidetracked reading the...

    The Fantasy Forum..........

    I have to agree with this person but I don't really take a break between heavy readings (I reread the wheel of time almost every time a new book comes out for it) so I can't say that I've read very many of them.

    I got a sword.

    Yesterday I went to a fleamarket type thing in my town and bought a sword for ten dollars. It's a single edge, two handed, straight blade that's 26 inches long and looks like it's of oriental make. It's really cool.:D

    I'm an idiot

    Here's a second draft of the next part. Please tell me what you think. Jhonathon was riding alongside the cliff edge, between it and Evan. On his left and far below raged a river whose name he couldn’t remember. To his right an oak forest followed the curve of the river leaving little...
