This is great! You did an excellent job explaining these theories, and I can easily understand the Curator’s arguments. I’m very interested in this book of yours! Congrats for actually sitting down and writing, a feat I have yet to accomplish …
Thanks! It’s been rough continuing from there.. Once I crank it all out, I’m probably in it two or three revisions, still. I’ve already got two minor re-writes in mind, so.. *le sigh*
Legends of the Fall (1994) - Directed by Edward Zwick
Either my favorite or my second favorite movie.
I was stumbling through Mythbusters episodes and found one where they made improvised armor. With concrete and ceramic tiles, they managed two inch thick Level IIA armor. I’m fairly certain that I can make one inch thick Level III armor by layering overlapped standard bathroom tiling sheet in a fiberglass bedding over a polycarbonate plate with a sorbothane backer (easy bond, just polyurethane wood glue), and wrapping the whole mess in fiberglass/resin. Might have to replace the fiberglass sheet with carbon fiber.. It’ll be heavy as balls, but no one sells Level III armor for less than $100, which this will come in under. Testing and pictures and mid-June, probably.
So this just happened.
You know how this is:
if I look at the crystal moon,
at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.— Pablo Neruda
I have no idea if it’s a good thing or not. But here’s the sixth chapter from my book. It’s a short one. Critique is always welcomed.
I’ve written well over 20,000 words in two weeks.
