Finished “Gemini” for Air <\/em>yesterday. Now I have Aquarius. I was going to do an abolitionist who teaches free blacks how to read, but as I dug more into what the Aquarius man was like, I have decided to change it to Walt Whitman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t know this, but Walt Whitman is considered one of the few 19th century gay icons (Oscar Wilde is another). I honestly have never read Leaves of Grass, but according to some gay history websites, it talks about homoerotic sex. So I picked it up and I’m going to read it (and try to copy the style. Wish me luck!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I plotted out the story. It will be the last in the series, because its theme characterizes what the entire series is about–true love and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next I have to plot out the prologue, get that to the publisher by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this, I have to work on the Grimaulkin Collected <\/em>book of backstories.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of days ago I was contacted by a fan. A real fan! Someone who read my work and really enjoyed it! I was so happy to talk to her via FB and so excited. If anyone wants to be friends with me on FB, you can look for L.A. Jacob<\/strong> and I’ll be happy to be friends with you. Twitter, I do more under Maxwell Thomas (@MaxwellTAuthor) than under anything else. Contact me there, if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, back to work. No podcast this week because getting Air <\/em>finished is top of the list of things to do. I noticed most people are taking the month off anyway. I’ll be back in your ears in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
