A blog site for Kimota94 (that's me) to use for topics that interest me. Those topics originally included: comic books, Major League Baseball, the music and genius of Peter Gabriel and Magnolia Electric Company, the odd work-related topic like Agile Project Delivery, and any other little thing that comes to mind on any given day. Lately, it's mostly been that last one!

2nd Draft Of Leap Of Faith Nearly Done
I finished my start-to-finish editing of Leap of Faith today, only about a week after I started it. Lots of little inconsistencies were found and fixed, which is typical of a second draft pass (for me, anyway). I still have one more chore to complete before declaring this version complete, though. That involves me searching for words that I typically overuse, and reducing the number of occurrences of each until they're down to an acceptable level. I think on one of my earlier novels I started out with several hundred uses of "but" (in a book that was less than 200 pages long) and eventually got it down to something closer to 150 or so. I've built up a small list of words to do the ol' search-and-replace on, and that's what I'll be up to tomorrow before I'm done.
