Another short update. I spent around eight hours working on Translating Scripture today and I think I'll be able to finish it tomorrow, time willing. (I'll have to take work off.) It'll be nice to see it when it's done, a real, printed book. This bookmaking ...
This'll be short because it's late. I took the day off from working on Translating Scripture because I needed a break and Monday I'll be working on it pretty much all day. Mostly worked on getting caught up on e-mails (successfully, I'm proud to say :)), the Plan ...
Today certainly seems to be a day for posting, doesn't it. I just got back from watching the new Pride & Prejudice, and I absolutely loved it. Very well done. The performances were excellent, especially Keira Knightley's. And Mr. Darcy's speech at the end -- "You've ...
The Kevin J. Anderson / Rebecca Moesta reading was pretty good. They talked about their writing (Kevin's published 89 novels!) and Kevin read the first chapter of his upcoming book Slanhunter. We were the first people to hear it or see it -- not even his wife (Rebecca) ...
After writing that last post, I searched for Chaucer on the LDS.org archives and found an article by Arthur Henry King entitled Literature and Testimony. He says, "I think that with all his so-called liberality Chaucer is nevertheless a great religious poet." Lately I've been reading ...

I've been spending every spare moment working on the book, and we're getting even closer. It's a good feeling. :) I did go to see The Boxcar Children tonight, however, and it was a nice warm fuzzies sort of play. Other than that, I haven't done much ...
Remember that book I mentioned a week or two ago when talking about audiobooks, Steve Leveen's The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life? Well, shortly thereafter I ordered it through ILL (interlibrary loan). It arrived today and when I got home from school I picked it up, intending ...
I've done most of the chapters (all but two) and have started on the appendices. You can actually see a PDF of Chapter Two online at TranslatingScripture.com. My goal is to finish it by the end of the week (or at least as much as I can).
Because ...
I've worked on the book every spare moment today and edited all the chapters, but I was only able to format one of them (in InDesign). Although I thought I'd have most of the day to work on the book, I'd forgotten about the Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting (two ...
