Another new approach

I know that I haven’t updated here in a while… been so very busy with school. I’m still busy with school, but I have a minute to write before I decide to start with another of my finals…

I think I’m going to try a brand new approach with this diary, and I hope to start it in the next two weeks. Part of it has come out of reading a portion of "The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark" and another part of my thinking has been influenced by Robert Greene’s the "33 Strategies of War".  Both are fantastic books, but Greene’s particularly.

So, short stories is the word. Very short, and to the point, is the goal.

Just as a side note, the Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark book has a very interesting thesis. It’s saying that the Gospel of Mark was written as a text to be compared to the Homeric epics, the Odyssey and parts of the Iliad and Vergil’s Aeneid. Where comparisons between Jesus and Odysseus are deliberately brought up, and Jesus is shown to exemplify whichever virtue more fully that Odysseus.  It’s an interesting idea… and more plausible than I initially thought.

It might be fun to try and write a tract that overtly is the same idea, but with a new character being compared with Jesus…

Let me know what you think…
