Friends are Electric

I failed the challenge, reaching only 20000 words by the end of November. As I edit and make the material readable it will be posted.

I am alive. Something will happen sooner or later. I am writing. I updates the About page. Have been reading more recently. Will write sometime. That is all.

Within the next few weeks a lot should be happening in Canadian politics. Analysis will follow where required. Obama is up to become president quite soon, no analysis required. There is war in the middle east, not entirely unique on its own but fascinating none the less.

Closer to home, writers block beaten. Over the break I commenced writing my own pen and paper role playing game, using the Prose Descriptive Quality system by Atomic Sock Monkey. It is based on the world of William Hope Hodgeson’s The Night Land, which is one of my favourite works of fiction. When that is completed, it shall be shared. The full text of the story is available from Project Gutenberg.

That is really all for now. More to follow as it comes up.

So this thought came to me while I was outside. Would a citizen of the Roman Empire, at the time of its decline, realise what was happening?
