Unfortunately, they always make me write them BEFORE they'll print them. "Master Alvin" will probably be a very long book. I'll have to take a really deep breath and get a good running start before I can tackle it.

In other words ... you'll probably see a few other books first.

"Unfortunately, they always make me write them BEFORE they'll print them."

That is pretty unfair, I agree.

The injustice of it all is so overwhelming. I guess this means we have a while to wait for the newt Pastwatch book also?

Not all authors have it so bad... I have read that a number of the upcoming Harry Potter books have been published in China, well in advance of Ms. Rowling writing them.

Luckily we can find some of OSC's unwritten works available for sale. Pastwatch: The Flood comes to mind.

If you find any of my unwritten works for sale, please buy them for me. I promise to reimburse you. It would save me SO much time, which I could instead spend on watching old movies and catching up on missed episodes of Judging Amy.

This reminds me of the Hitchiker's theme where the corporation jumps back in time to use a famous, ancient poet for advertising and rediculous wealth.

The poet was so enthralled with the wealthy life (his poems were about living alone/naked in the jungle) that he forgot to write his famous poems and the corporation had to go back in time and show him his writing for him to do.

Wait, where do you find these "missed episodes of Judging Amy"? I suppose I can't get optimistic...I assume you just taped them...

Don't want to hijack the thread, but this gets me to the subject of stupid TV network/MPAA hijinks. CBS and ABC, scouring the Bittorrent downloading, caught me downloading episodes of the Drew Carey show and Judging Amy, and reported it to Princeton. I ended up getting a Dean's Warning (doesn't go on the permanent record, but don't think about doing it again.)

I can understand the RIAA and MPAA agitating against music and movie downloadings, but how on earth do the TV networks lose money on me downloading episodes that aren't on DVD and probably never will?? For this reason, I don't watch ABC. Unfortunately, CBS has too many good shows to keep me from watching. But Fox is the default on my dial.

I mean, you'd think ABC would be ecstatic to know that someone actually cared enough to download and watch the Drew Carey Show's final season...

Anyways, this ties in because knowing that CBS is patrolling the net, I can't download Judging Amy episodes from past seasons that I've missed. And I really want to see them...Grr.
