If Dante were to rewrite The Inferno for modern times, do you think that he would have to add a few more circles of hell? Do you really think that there is enough scope in his hell to accommodate all of the various types of sin there is in the world today?
I mean, if you think about it, Dante believed that just about anything you did landed you somewhere in hell, including being born. Today, people are so much busier, and life is so much fast than in was then… you’d think that we’d’ve invented a few more types of sin. We’ve invented darn near everything else!
Or maybe hell would just expand to encompass it all, and had more compartments to each level.
I don’t know. I don’t believe that everyone on earth is going to hell. I don’t even believe MOST of us are going to hell. What would be the point of that?
Sorry – I don’t mean to start up any kind of religious discussion. I have my own thoughts about life and why where here and whatnot, as I’m sure everyone else does. It was just one of those passing random thoughts that occurred to me while watching a news piece about identity theft.
Random Comment: to those people out there who hate Ron Weasley: Fneh! Fneh, I say!
Anyway- I don’t know what the deal is with Fiction Alley. They are usually really good at getting my chapters up quickly, and it’s been nearly a week! I’ve contacted them to make sure it is in their queue, because I don’t remember getting an e-mail from them about my submission going through, and it’s in there. They say they’ve been swamped. I hope to submit Chapter 17 as soon as 16 goes up, but I’m teaching tomorrow, then it’s my turn to host family dinner, so I’m gonna be busy!
In other news, I was going over my notes and outline for Foreshadowing the Unexpected, and am laughing at some of the notes I’ve inserted here and there. Apparently there was supposed to be someone named Mrs. Shepherd in the story at some point, which was going to show up at Dumbledore’s request to advise/counsel Connor about his healing abilities. I have absolutely NO idea where she came from or why she was supposed to be there! Not one single clue! Oh, well. Connor will do fine without her, I’m sure.
Other than that, the story is pretty much on track, and things should be happening soon. Yay!
No reviews to speak of, because of the delay at FA.
