It has long been my goal to write a book and after many many failed attempts I have finally found a story that I want to tell. That story is one of a young man traveling from one shore of Canada to the other in a path that is by no means straight; along the way he will meet a plethora of characters wonderful weird, villainous and hilarious. The purpose of this blog is to keep me going, to keep my ideas flowing and to provide a source of input for anyone out there who wants to lend a hand (The gods know I need it).
The idea that will guide my pen while writing this is the plot of the Odyssey a subject three years of my degree in Classics has prepared me to write about and hopefully one which will entrap my interest long enough to finish this epic. THe idea here is to juxtapose the world of Odysseus with modern day Canada but not to copy the story in its entireity of course. Well, that is it for the introduction I hope that you will enjoy this process as much as I do.
