While I believe to have plenty of material to write about today, the reason I haven't been writing as much in the past week is that I've been working on books - proofreading and editing to be more specific. While I won't be releasing any new books before the new year, I've been hard at work on making sure more will be released in the first quarter of next year. For the time being, I've proofread, edited, and condensed my coming political satire(s - I'm undecided if I'll fit it all into one volume or split them up into two). I hope to make the decision on whether to form the satire(s) into one or two volumes before the holidays and organize them accordingly. After the new year, I'll then get busy researching, proofreading (again), and finalizing them. I'm currently in the process of finishing the first round of proofreading, editing, and condensing of two comedic works (one censored and one uncensored version of a book - with some notable differences in material at times). I'll likely finish that step by the end of this coming weekend, and like with the political satire(s), hopefully get things organized before the start of 2014. Then when the new year hits, I'll research, proofread (yes, this happens quite a bit), and finalize the books. I'm still a little ways away from having the books in publishable form, but I'm getting there, and hopefully by March or April of next year, I'll have 3-4 more books available for purchase. Yes, I may be a tad on the crazy side with all this work I've done, all that I have in front of me, and what my end goal is for the first quarter of next year, but I'm confident I can pull it off. For as crazy as my work ethic has been and is bound to be in the coming weeks and months, hopefully I find some time to actually relax, veg out, have a few drinks, and enjoy the holidays. In any case, I just wanted to update regular readers on these matters. I'll be sure to continually update all of you once I get further along in the process.
After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...
